Travel tips for every stage of your journey
Travel tips for every stage of your journey
Check in with your issuing bank
Contact your Visa card issuer ahead of time so you are aware of any possible daily cash withdrawal restrictions.
Know your PIN, card numbers, and phone numbers
Make a record of your Visa card account and telephone numbers for reporting lost or stolen cards (including international Visa Global Customer Assistance Services numbers) and keep it in a safe place away from your wallet or handbag.
Review your statements
It is recommended that you review your statements when you return. Go through your statements carefully and contact your issuing bank immediately if you see any suspicious or incorrect charges.
Paying in local currency could save you money when traveling
Foreign merchants may offer to convert your bill to Canadian dollars. Although it is convenient to see the bill in your home countries currency, the conversion usually includes a markup. To avoid the markup, decline the conversion and choose to pay in local currency. If you chose to pay in local currency, but the transaction was charged by the merchant in different currency, contact your bank to contest the charge.
