MET Finance Director Advises on Safe Travel Practices

In an interview with WalletHub.com, Associate Professor Irena Vodenska offered her insight into how travelers can protect their finances and credit cards while abroad. “The biggest mistake is to give your card to someone (e.g. in a shop or a restaurant), and for the credit card to be out of your sight for a prolonged period of time. The credit card number, expiration date and the security code can be copied and later used without your knowledge. This will then create a situation in which your credit card will be blocked and canceled by the credit card company and you will be without a credit card for the rest of your trip,” said Dr. Vodenska, who is director of finance at MET, which offers the Master of Science in Financial Management.
