Three out of four holidaymakers are unaware how much their banks will be charging them for foreign transaction fees and ATM withdrawals when using their card abroad. In a global survey of more than 650 clients, carried out by deVere Group, one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory, asset management and fintech organisations, 77% said they had not read the small print about using their debit cards whilst overseas. “The soaring cost of living is making everyone check their spending and find areas where they may be able to save some money.

Customers tend to overpay when prices are presented this way, according to a study conducted by Morwitz and her colleagues. “Customers are more likely to select an option that looks cheaper upfront. Even when they later realize it’s more expensive than they anticipated, th...

Travelers beware: hackers compromise airport and railway Wi-Fi According to recent research by NordVPN, 1 in 4 travelers have been hacked when using public Wi-Fi while traveling abroad. Most of those hacks happen while travelers are in transit at train stations, bus stations, or the airport. “It is typical to scroll through your phone while waiting for a flight or train. However, when on vacation, people tend to forget about their online security,” Daniel Markuson, a cybersecurity expert at NordVPN says. “Hackers take advantage of that and use the public Wi-Fi network weaknesses in airports and train stations to get their hands onto sensitive personal or corporate data.” The free Wi-Fi in hotels, airports, cafes, and restaurants is often not secure. The lack of encryption mea...
