A survey finds rising living costs and uncertainty are forcing many people in Ireland to cut or forgo holidays, with one in five saying they cannot afford a trip this year.
This gives Wise a chance to talk about affordable, transparent cross-border payments and budgeting for travel in Ireland and the UK, as customers rethink holiday spending amid cost pressures.
