Discovery Bank recently launched Vitality Travel, a fully integrated travel booking service with unprecedented disc ounts and simplified trip management. The comprehensive travel offering is the world’s first shared-value travel platform which channels behavioural savings into the greatest possible savings on flights, holiday accommodation, car hire and holiday packages.
