Visa Debit card overview

Your Visa Debit card will provide you with a convenient way to access local currencies overseas.

A Visa Debit card can be used for purchases and ATM withdrawals while overseas. Best of all, it only uses money from your own account and because it is a Visa card, you can use it anywhere Visa is accepted worldwide.

When overseas and making a purchase or withdrawing cash at an ATM select the ‘Credit’ option and you may also need your PIN to approve transactions.

Using your Visa card when you travel can be safer than carrying large amounts of cash. Plus, you can shop with your Visa Debit card with total confidence and peace of mind, knowing you will be protected against unauthorised use with Visa’s Zero Liability Policy35.

No matter where you are in the world, Visa’s Global Customer Assistance Services can provide assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, if you need to report your Visa card as lost or stolen.
