    Hi there. Is there a need to notify my bank if i will be travelling and usin my debit card abroad?
    Have found conflicting messages on BOI. I remember doing this online a few years ago but perhaps the system has chamged.
    Basically, is there a number i can call or is it needed at all. . .

    Do it via the ask a question option in the website. Always better to let them know. Even if it does nothing.

    not really unless your traveling to china or one of those countries 

    now if your planning to be spending big amounts i would inform them but i never had any issues with using my card on holidays 

    but i rang the number on the back of the card and informed them when i went to china

    Hi Mountain_M78

     

    Thank you for getting in touch today.

     

    We no longer ask our customers to update their travel note. Instead we ask you to make sure your contact details are up to date with ourselves. If a transaction flags as suspicious our card security team will send a text or email requesting that you confirm it as genuine. Once that is done your card will not be blocked.

     

    Many Thanks

     

    John
