Summertime on the other side of the globe has us all dreaming of taking off on a holiday and exploring this great big world. Whether you are considering a holiday locally, interstate, or overseas, we have a range of products to help make your holiday dream a reality.
Funding your trip
Start saving for your trip as soon as you can. Use our Savings Plan Simulator to set yourself a goal and maximise your savings with a bonus saver account or term deposit.
You may wish to seize the day and travel as soon as you can by using a personal loan to help cover your travel expenses. To discuss a personal loan, contact us, book a Mobile Lender or visit a Service Centre.
Spending money
Regardless of where you are travelling, you need to decide how you plan to pay for expenses along the way. Even if you pre-book your flights, accommodation and tours, you will still need spending money available for meals, tips, gifts and activities. We offer a range of solutions including Visa cards and foreign currency options, to help take the stress of out your holiday.
Travel Insurance
Holidays don't always go as planned. You may encounter medical expenses, trip cancellations or lost luggage. You may even require travel insurance to be able to enter certain countries, or travel on some cruises or tours. For more information on travel insurance, please refer to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission’s MoneySmart website.

We’re a different kind of bank, a customer owned bank, where you’re at the centre of everything we do. Contact us today to find out more about the G&C Mutual Bank difference and how we can help you own your banking.
Travelling Overseas
- Contact us before you travel overseas so we can monitor your account more closely. You will also avoid transactions on your cards being stopped by us when we detect overseas purchases. We will need to know your departure date, return date, destination and contact details while you’re away.
- Alternatively, you can complete the Overseas Travel Form within our Mobile App.
- Read more about staying financially safe overseas to ensure your travels are memorable for all the right reasons.
