Do I need a PIN for my credit card in Europe?
Check with your card issuer about foreign transaction fees and currency exchange fees. Unlike the U.S., European credit card machines usually require a PIN. You can get this from your card issuer before you leave home.
Do I need to put a travel alert on my debit card?
Notify your bank before using a credit or debit card when traveling. Banks do whatever they can to protect you from identity theft. But if you're not careful, your bank's eagerness could backfire when you travel.
How do I notify my bank of overseas travel?
If you already use online banking, there's likely an online travel notice where you can enter your destination and the length of your trip. If you've got multiple countries on your itinerary, you can specify that as well. If you don't have online banking, call your bank to set up a travel alert on your account.
