I primarily use a Credit Union Visa card for my purchases here as they charge only a 1% fee vs 3% charged for my bank issued cards. They recently replaced the card with a new type of card and it has a new account number. I used the old one here without need to advise them I was in Thailand. I have used the new one here twice with no problems, again without having to notify them.Gaybutton wrote: ↑Mon Jul 31, 2023 4:03 amMaybe UK and American banks work differently when it comes to dealing with fraud, but if it were me, I would let them know anyway. Can't hurt and if something does happen, they can't say you didn't inform them.KeithAmbrose wrote: ↑Mon Jul 31, 2023 1:09 am Interesting. I have been told, officially, by my Bank, Lloyd's, that they do not need to know when I am going abroad.
About 3 weeks ago, I thought I might use one of my bank issued cards, so I went online to notify them that I would be traveling in Thailand. They now have a notice that such notification is no longer needed as they would notify me of any suspicious activity. So far, I still have not used that card here, so I don't know if or what kind of activity would encounter a problem.
