Travelling overseas

Two people on beach with snorkels and gogglesTravel with greater peace of mind, knowing you can manage your credit card while you are overseas.

When travelling with your credit card, you don't need to carry traveller's cheques or large amounts of cash as your credit card opens the door to convenient spending wherever Visa or MasterCard are accepted. Your Visa® or MasterCard® credit card is accepted worldwide and gives you access to many ATMs if you need cash.

To avoid any unexpected fees and charges, you should factor cash advance fees and International MasterCard or Visa transaction fees into your travelling budget. Find out more on how to minimise these and other fees.

Here are some tips on preparing your BankSA credit card before you leave:
