Cash, Card, or Both? What Smart Travellers Actually Carry Before Crossing Borders
Planning a trip abroad? You are probably searching for forex or a currency exchange counter nearby, wondering how much cash and card to carry across the border. Separately, supply disruption has pushed oil prices up: Brent futures are trading near $108 a barrel, and Europe's physical market is higher, with dated Brent at $122 per barrel. That can raise travel and shipping costs.

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Before your next trip abroad, compare the cash and card options offered by your bank or an authorised forex dealer, and confirm the rates and charges with them directly. Also factor in higher fuel-linked travel or shipping costs while budgeting, since oil prices are currently elevated.
