The Joys of Travel, or How The Midland Bank Helps The Innocents Abroad

We believe it was a British Foreign Secretary who once said that he looked forward to the time when the ordinary citizen could walk into a railway station, buy a ticket to anywhere he pleased and set right off on his travels. We share the hope but, alas, the time is not yet.
C'est la guerre, no doubt. But the fact remains that, for most of us, foreign travel still appears to be so hedged about by regulations and what not, that the ordinary citizen may well be forgiven if he thinks it would be a lot less trouble to stay in his native land.
Things aren't as bad as they seem, however. Regulations lose a good deal of their bite when they're understood - as we understand them at the Midland Bank. And, since a willingness to share our knowledge has always been one of our more engaging characteristics, it follows that anyone planning a journey overseas could do much worse than consult us.
But let's be clear on one point. We are not running a travel agency. There are in existence a number of highly experienced organisations who are much better qualified to help you decide where to go and how to get there. In addition, most countries who wish to encourage tourist traffic have official bureaux in London (some of them are listed on page 15) from whom much useful information can be obtained. We come into the picture in connection with the financial side of your journey.
