    Do you have your bank lock your cards so you give them an itinerary when you travel so they can't be used outside your travel path? I did that right after my son got ID theft in Canada on a snowboarding trip once....works great but you have to let them know where you'll be and for how long.

    I always call and let them know my travel plans, so I don't get a fraud alert.

    I have an HSBC card I use for travel ATMs, not connected to my main accounts. I get better rates on withdrawls and reimbursment of fees on there.

    I don't get the best exchange rates through the bank but don't care..I'm not changing money on the street with a taxi driver to get better rates..it's like tipping after a meal. It's so cheap there that I always come home with more than I thought I would.

    Looking to open another savings account to park some money in. Any suggestions?

    Rather have something more tech focused, I do most banking online. Transfer between accounts, scheduled deposits from other accounts.

    Was thinking of:

    1. Marcus by Goldman Sachs
    2. SoFi

    Marcus doesn't have a card you can only wire money in and out.

    Anything else anyone have experience with?
