      For your security, the Bank disables the overseas card usage function for all new, existing, replacement and renewed ATM, credit and debit cards by default and the following functions may be affected:

      • Overseas ATM cash withdrawal
      • Overseas credit/debit card magnetic stripe transactions

      Please take note of the following:

      • Exceptions include if you had previously enabled the overseas ATM cash withdrawal function on your card (this also applies to overseas card usage on renewed/replacement cards with same card number) and if you were notified that your existing card(s) will remain enabled for overseas usage
      • EMV chip transactions are excluded from the overseas card usage function. This means that your card can still be used overseas at EMV chip-enabled POS terminals and/or ATMs despite the overseas card usage function being disabled.

      *Note: “POS” stands for Point-of-Sale and “EMV” stands for Europay, Mastercard and Visa.

      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.
