Travel Hub

Last Article Update 02.07.2025

You likely prepare for the weather where you're going. For example, by packing sun cream. Or an extra sweater. Travel Hub lets you do the same with money. Local info, currency rates and features for smooth payments abroad. George offers that, plus more, in your Travel Hub.

 

Whether work trip or well-deserved holiday, a bit of prep can make (spending) money abroad stress-free. Checking currency rates so you know what to expect. Being sure you can take out cash when you need it. Noting your PIN so you avoid any surprises. And knowing how to get help if you need it. To help do all that, plus more, George bundles everything you might need abroad in one place.

 

You'll find your Travel Hub in the George app right under your Profile – the top right icon in your overview.

Get travel notifications

Have the key facts as soon as you arrive – from currency rates, to updates about the country you're visiting. 

 

Already allowed George to send notifications? Nice. These updates should already be active in your Travel Hub.

 

If not:

 

  • From Travel Hub, tap "Activate" at the top.
  • Allow notifications from George in your phone settings.

Currency Converter & payment tips

Is 500 Icelandic Króna a lot for a croissant? Depends how tasty. Still, it’s good to know how much that is in, say, Euros.

 

To find out:

 

  • Open the Currency Converter in Travel Hub. Or straight from your profile.
  • Tap "Change" to choose currency. You can also let George find the right one based on where you are.
  • Tap the arrows to swap direction (for example, "Dollar > Euro" instead of  "Euro > Dollar")

 

You can also use it offline. To do this, tap and hold the George icon on your phone. Then choose “Currency Converter”.

George also has practical tips on travel and money. For example, how to avoid extra fees when using your card. Or where you might want to have some cash with you.

Card payments abroad, safe and easy

You can access two helpful features right out of your Travel Hub. 

Unlock your debit card for use everywhere in the world

 

GeoControl blocks debit card withdrawals in certain regions. This protects you from fraud. But of course, sometimes you need cash. For example, places where debit card payments may not be possible. That's why George lets you turn GeoControl off in Travel Hub.

 

  • Tap “Open GeoControl”.
  • Choose “Geo Control suspended”.
  • Enter a date to suspend until - ideally, the day you travel back home. You can suspend it for up to 3 months.
  • Sign using your usual method.
  • You can now take George around the world (around the world).

You can also activate GeoControl again before this date. Just tap “Open GeoControl” again and choose “GeoControl active”. In general, it's good advice to keep it active as long as you don't need to take out cash.

Access your card PIN in case you forget

 

It happens. And mostly, exactly when you need it. Luckily, George can help.

 

  • From Travel Hub, tap “Show PIN”.
  • Choose your card.
  • Sign using your usual method.
  • Tap “Show PIN” to reveal.

Discover travel-friendly offers

For example, a credit card including travel insurance. To see what's available, scroll to "Discover offers" and tap "Discover".
