Planning an overseas trip? Lock in your travel costs with a forex account

So you've just booked an international holiday on the Vitality Travel platform, Discovery Bank's new shared-value travel booking platform. Now you need to save for the trip, right?

Make sure your travel budget matches reality by saving in a foreign currency. A forex account will protect your money against currency fluctuations and, because it's in a separate account, you won't be tempted to spend it.

With Discovery Bank's new-generation forex accounts, you can grow your savings by making the most of currency fluctuations in real time. The best part? You don't pay anything to move your money between your British Pound, Euro and US Dollar accounts.

You can add a virtual card to use for immediate transactions and a physical forex debit card to use overseas. Both cards automatically select the correct account based on the purchase currency (EUR, GBP or USD).

Take your money places with our new-generation forex accounts. Open a forex account in seconds for easier, more convenient international travel.
