Before you go
If you’re intent on travelling with just one form of payment, such as a Visa Credit Card, there are some checks you should make before you arrive at the airport.
- Let Greater Bank know of your travel plans. This way, we’re aware that it’s you buying a round of drinks in Thailand, not suspect activity to be concerned about.
- If you haven’t in a while, update your contact details with us. This will ensure we can communicate with you easily if you experience issues with your credit card.
- Know your PIN. Signatures are accepted in less and less places abroad, and not everywhere will offer Visa payWave yet. Contact us about your PIN if you need a gentle reminder. ;-)
- Make sure your card expiry date isn’t set to pass while you’ll be away.
