Frequently Asked Question

Do I need to set a travel notice for my card?

Traveling soon? You don’t have to set a travel notice, but it’s a good idea—especially if you’re traveling internationally or using your credit or debit card somewhere new.

A travel notice lets us know when and where you’ll be traveling, which can help reduce the chance of your legitimate purchases or ATM withdrawals being declined.

Set a travel notice

You can set, update, or remove a travel notice in Online & Mobile Banking:

  • Online banking: More Links → Travel Notice
  • Mobile app: Menu → More → Travel Notice
  • Card Services: Travel Notices

Enter your travel dates, destination, and the card(s) you’ll be using. You can make changes at any time—even while you’re already traveling.

Before you travel

While you’re traveling

You can typically access your accounts while traveling, including internationally, but keep a few things in mind:

  • A travel notice helps reduce declines, but it doesn’t guarantee every transaction will be approved
  • We continue to monitor activity to help protect your account and you may still be contacted if something looks unusual

To avoid issues while accessing your account:

  • Make sure you can log in before you leave
  • Set up an authenticator app to receive verification codes if needed
  • Avoid using VPNs, which may block access
  • Be prepared to verify your identity if prompted

If your card is declined

  • Make sure your card is active and not locked
  • Check that your travel notice is set correctly
  • If the issue continues, call the number on the back of your card
