After a prolonged period of time being restricted in our homes, many of us have started yearning for a vacation away from the everyday hustle and bustle. Whether it is to relax and unwind, or to go on an adrenaline-packed adventure, more people are now travelling both domestically and internationally, with vacation plans already booked throughout the year.
As the act of travelling has returned to our lives and cemented itself as a part of our plans this year, we must be prepared financially before going on our respective holidays. That is why if you’re looking to go on a trip in the near future, the EnrichMoney digital money app and Visa Prepaid Card would make a great travel essential for your overseas travels!
EnrichMoney, by Enrich, the award-winning travel and lifestyle programme by Malaysia Airlines, is a digital money app and Visa Prepaid Card that combines to function as a cashless travel wallet that allows you to enjoy the convenience of cashless payments with the best currency rates on your travels. The travel wallet app and the card aim to provide added value for Enrich members within the Enrich Travel and Lifestyle Loyalty programme ecosystem and to enhance their experience of member rewards and privileges.
