What are NAB Travel Tools?
They’re a suite of helpful tools featured in the NAB app that include an easy-to-use foreign exchange calculator and some handy travel tips.
They help you stay in control when you head overseas and keep on top of your spending.
Here are some of the features and tools that you can use in the NAB app:
- Our foreign currency calculator for on-the-spot currency conversions on your phone.
- Overseas travel notifications so we can help protect your cards while you’re away.
- Temporarily block, unblock or reorder cards with a single tap.
- Stay safe with travel tips and advice for intrepid Aussie travellers wherever you are.
- Update your personal details before you leave or while you’re overseas.
How to set up NAB Travel Tools
- Login to the NAB app.
- Go to the Menu (or More on iOS).
- Tap Travel.
- Tap Travel Mode.
NAB Travel Tools will now appear on the home screen when the app detects that you're out of Australia. To use Travel Tools, just tap Travel on the home screen.
Locations services need to be enabled on your device for NAB Travel Tools to work.
The foreign exchange calculator requires the latest version of the NAB app, check if yours is up-to-date.
How to use the foreign exchange calculator
Ever been shopping overseas and seen something you really want to buy, only you don't know how much it'll cost?
Our foreign exchange calculator gives you a better indication of how much something costs you in Australian Dollars on your NAB Visa card.
The foreign exchange calculator gives you the official Visa currency daily rates for 37 different currencies, including all the big ones:
- US Dollars
- Euros
- Japanese Yen
- Indonesian Rupiah
- British Pounds
- New Zealand Dollars
The exact conversion rate on your statement may differ to foreign exchange calculator's rate because of the time it can take the merchant to process your payment.
How to update rates
To update the exchange rates in NAB Travel Tools, you'll need to connect to the internet. We suggest you do this regularly for the latest daily rate.
But don't stress - the foreign exchange calculator still works even if you're offline. It'll use the most recently updated conversion rates stored on your device.
