Use your Visa debit card while you’re abroad – on holiday or on business – just as you do at home. Whether you’re paying for a hotel or a table at a restaurant, or buying petrol from a garage or a supermarket,* you’ll enjoy the same security and peace of mind. There’s no need to carry large amounts of cash and you’ll get an automatic record of the transaction. And when you pay by Visa debit card you’re protected against fraud for any unauthorised spending.
In some countries you may need to use your PIN (personal identification number), so make sure you memorise it before you leave home.
If you need more cash while you’re abroad, you can use your debit card to withdraw money at a cashpoint or over the counter at any bank displaying the Visa symbol. You can withdraw money up to your limit in sterling as long as you have cleared available funds in your account. You’ll need to know your PIN and have some ID (a valid passport will do) when you withdraw money from a bank.
