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.

Foreign merchants may offer to convert your bill. Although it is convenient to see the bill in your home currency, the conversion usually includes a markup. To avoid the markup, decline the conversion and choose to pay in the local currency. If you chose to pay in the local currency, but the transaction was charged by the merchant in a different currency, contact your bank to contest the charge.

No need to get cash before you go. ATMs are available at over 2 million locations around the world so you can get cash when you need it. Getting cash at an ATM abroad can actually be more cost effective.
