Do I need to notify my bank when I travel?

How do banks know you are traveling?
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.
