Whether you're traveling across the country or taking a weekend getaway, use these simple best practices to keep your wallet safe, secure, and travel-ready.
Best Travel Practices for Your Wallet: Stay Safe and Smart
Planning a trip? Your credit card can be one of your most useful travel tools. From fraud protection to travel rewards, here’s how to use your card wisely before and during your vacation.
- Check your balances beforehand and throughout your trip.
Make sure you start your trip knowing exactly what’s in your accounts. This includes recent charges and upcoming bills or subscriptions, so nothing comes as a surprise while you’re enjoying your travels. Staying in the know also helps you to notice any charges that shouldn’t be there as soon as they occur. - Heading out of town? Let us know.
When you let us know, you’ll be traveling, we can better recognize your purchases—even if they’re outside your normal spending area. This helps prevent unnecessary card declines and keeps your account protected while you’re away. You can let us know in-person at a branch in your neighborhood or in Digital Banking. - Keep your cards safe while traveling – travel locks, belt bag, no back pockets!
We talk about security online and around personal information but being out and about means that physical security is crucial! Make sure to always store your valuables in a secure place. - Lost or stolen card? Don’t panic – shut it off with Card Control.
Our Card Control feature in Digital Banking makes it easy to turn off your card and prevent unwanted charges. Even if you’re sure you lost it in your luggage, switching off and on is just as easy for peace of mind as it is for safety. - More you can do with Card Control.
- Easily turn your cards off and on
- Send and receive money
