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
- Make sure you can log in to Online & Mobile Banking before you leave. If you’re not enrolled, here’s how to sign up
- Check your contact information so we can reach you if needed
- Turn on account alerts to track transactions in real time
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
