Don't bother bringing cash from Indonesia when you travel overseas for the holidays. With a Bank Jago account, you can easily make payments when buying what you want abroad.
Using the Jago Debit Card with the Visa Logo, Conveniently and Easily Make Your Payments Abroad
To use a Jago Visa Debit Card abroad, you need to have a Bank Jago account. Simply download the Jago application and complete the registration process, if you haven’t created an account with Bank Jago.
Once your account is created, you can order a Jago Visa Debit Card directly from the Jago application. After your card is delivered, activate the international payment option to enable its use overseas.
Using your Jago Visa Debit Card for international transactions eliminates the need for currency exchange. Payments made with the card will be automatically converted to rupiah, providing a seamless and convenient travel experience.
Separate your travel or holiday budget in a different Pocket
With the Jago application, you can create separate Pockets for different needs. For your travel, create a designated Spending Pocket with your travel budget. This ensures that you only use the allocated funds for your trip and not for other expenses.
Link your debit card to a Spending Pocket for travels or vacations to make payments overseas
Ensure your Jago Visa Debit Card is linked to the correct Spending Pocket in the Jago application while traveling abroad. Avoid linking it to Pockets designated for transportation, bills, or other purposes.
Manage your spending while traveling overseas by setting a daily transaction limit on your Jago Visa Debit Card
In addition to linking your Spending Pocket for vacations, you can also set daily limits for each transaction type to avoid overspending. For instance, if your budget for shopping and buying meals during a week-long vacation is Rp3,500,000, you can set a daily spending limit of Rp500,000. This allows you to enjoy buying what you want every day without the risk of depleting your budget in the first few days or being tempted to use funds allocated for other needs.

Main advantages of the Jago Foreign Currency Pockets (USD, EUR, SGD, JPY, AUD) during vacation
1. Lock in competitive exchange rates
- You no longer need to rush to exchange money at airport money changers.
- You can monitor and exchange Rupiah to Foreign Currency (such as USD, EUR, SGD, JPY or AUD) when the rate is competitive and favorable. This rate is immediately visible in your Foreign Currency Pocket.
2. International transactions without Rupiah conversion
- When making transactions abroad using your Jago debit card linked to the Foreign Currency Pocket, funds will be withdrawn directly from the respective Pocket (for example, from the EUR Pocket when in Italy, or the SGD Pocket when in Singapore).
- This eliminates the conversion process to Rupiah.
3. Flexibility of popular currencies
- USD is very important for international hotel booking, paying for global online services, or as a transit currency in many countries.
- EUR is key for travel in the 20 Eurozone member countries.
- SGD offers instant convenience when traveling to Singapore, one of the closest destinations to Indonesia.
- JPY is the perfect companion for exploring Japan. Shop in Tokyo or enjoy Osaka’s food scene without ever needing to find a currency exchange.
- AUD provides seamless transactions for those traveling to Australia, be it for vacation, family visits, or studies in its vibrant cities.
