Let your card issuer know about your trip before you leave 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.
Because Visa is accepted in millions of places

During your trip

Foreign merchants may offer to convert your bill to your country currency. Although it is convenient to see the bill in your 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 to your country currency, contact your bank to contest the charge.

Get cash at over 2 million ATMs worldwide. Look for ATMs with the Visa brand to withdraw local currency with ease. Visa cards can be used for cash withdrawals at ATMs worldwide.
