The risk of unauthorised transactions being effected on your debit and credit cards is higher when you activate your cards for overseas use. This is because the data encoded on the cards’ magnetic stripe may be easily read and replicated. Sign up for SMS alerts for your card transactions to safeguard against this risk. Report any unauthorised transactions immediately by calling our 24-hour Phone Banking team at 1800 747 7000.
