Holiday season means travel season! If you prepare properly, you can go a long way towards ensuring that card payments remain secure even when abroad.
21.07.2026 –Whether it’s a city break, a beach holiday or an adventure trip – many of us are travelling abroad at the moment. Card payments are particularly popular and convenient at this time. It’s worth carrying out a quick safety check before setting off:
Check the settings for your debit and credit cards, paying particular attention to the geographical areas where they can be used. Geoblocking allows card usage to be restricted to specific areas. This reduces the risk of fraudulent transactions originating from abroad.
The change can be made quickly in the card app and provides peace of mind when you’re on the go.
