1. Apply for Mobile Alerts

Sign up for free text alerts when a transaction exceeds a pre-set amount or when unusual card activities are detected, even when you're travelling abroad. Contact your card issuer for details.

2. Memorise your PIN before departing

Whether you’re using a magnetic strip or chip card, know your card PIN before travelling abroad. If you’ve forgotten your PIN, reapply for a new one.

3. Use your Visa card for extra peace of mind
