Travel Booking: Dream, plan and travel
At CommBank, we know our customers value travel experiences.
Cost of living pressures have meant that people are cutting back on spending in various aspects of everyday life. Surprisingly, the CommBank Cost of Living Insights report from May 2024 found there was a 4% increase in travel expenditure. Travel is also the most popular type of savings goal customers set in the CommBank app.1
What remains important, though, is that travel experiences be cost-effective, budget-friendly, and still be memorable.
