Tell your card issuer about your trip before leaving so they don’t flag unfamiliar transactions. Additionally, make sure you know your card’s daily ATM withdrawal limit, expiration date, account balance and available funds. This ensures your card will work while you’re away and has sufficient funds to cover your travel expenses.
