Frequently Asked Questions

Collapse payments, how do i make a payment to a recipient overseas.

There are two main methods: sending an international wire transfer or purchasing a foreign draft. International wire transfers are typically sent out over an international communications system known as SWIFT, and settlement is arranged between individual banks. A foreign draft is like a cashiers check in local currency drawn on an account maintained by TD Bank.

What is SWIFT?

The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) is an industry-owned co-operative providing secure, standardized messaging services and interface software to over 8,000 financial institutions in 200 countries and territories. The SWIFT community includes banks, broker-dealers and investment managers.

What is the fastest method for making an international payment?

A wire transfer is more efficient than a foreign draft as funds are made available sooner. To complete a wire transfer, you must know the banking information of your recipient.

Is sending U.S. dollars the best way to send a payment to an overseas beneficiary?

Generally, it may be beneficial to send your payment in the local currency of the beneficiary (e.g., Pounds Sterling for the United Kingdom). U.S. Dollars sent to an account in a foreign currency will take longer and incur higher bank charges than if you send the local currency.

What is an IBAN?

As Europe is moving to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), the European Union (EU) – as well as Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland – have made a series of regulatory changes designed to improve straight-through processing of payments and reduce costs.

A key element of this transition is the introduction of the International Bank Account Number, or IBAN – the new domestic account number standard for all retail and commercial banking accounts in the EU. IBANs are assigned by the European banks to their corporate customers and can be found on invoices and/or settlement instructions you receive from your counterparties.

The IBAN consists of up to 34 alphanumeric characters: two characters are used to identify the country in which the counterparty's account resides; two characters are used for check digit verification; and the rest identify the account holding bank and the counterparty's account number.

Why do I need to use the IBAN?

Your wire payments can still be made without an IBAN, but you should ask your European beneficiaries for it and supply it to us with the payment details. Your beneficiaries will be familiar with the request.

Failure to provide the IBAN reduces the opportunity to process the payment straight-through (STP), which may subject you to additional repair charges, and could result in return of the payment.

Who do I contact to arrange a wire transfer in a foreign currency or get a foreign draft?

Your local TD Bank store can assist you with arranging a wire transfer in a foreign currency or obtaining a foreign draft.

What information should I provide to the originator of a foreign (non-U.S. Dollar) wire payment in order to get the money into my account at TD Bank?

Incoming Foreign Currency Wire Payment Instructions

Correspondent Bank SWIFT Code: TDOMCATTTOR
Correspondent Bank Name: The Toronto-Dominion Bank, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
For Further credit to: TD Bank, Store Address: Street, City, State, Country
In Favor of Beneficiary Account Number: Your TD Bank account number as it appears on your statement
In favor of Beneficiary Full Name and Full Address: Your name and address as it appears on your TD Bank account statement

Will TD Bank continue to offer international wires? I heard there was a new regulation and that some banks will no longer offer international wire transfer services.

TD Bank will continue to offer international wires.

About the Dodd-Frank Remittance Transfer Regulation The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has issued new rules to protect consumers who send funds electronically to foreign countries. This rule, known as Dodd-Frank Remittance Transfer is effective as of October 28, 2013, and is intended to provide customers who send international wire transfers more complete information about fees and foreign exchange rates associated with the international wire transfer, as well as disclosure of the date when funds will be made available to the receiving party. The rule also addressed customers' rights in terms of investigation of international wire transfers who may have encountered an issue in the initiation or processing of the international wire transfer. TD Bank, NA, is prepared to comply with the requirements of this new regulation.

When I deposit a check drawn on a bank outside the U.S., how is it cleared?

TD Bank can clear overseas checks in a variety of foreign currencies and U.S. Dollars using TD Bank's network of correspondent banking relationships. Some checks are eligible for immediate provisional credit – until it is finally settled by the issuing bank – while some items must be sent out on "collection" for final payment. Collection items can take some time before payment is settled.

When I travel overseas, how would I make payments for purchases?

Before you leave the country, if you are a TD Bank Customer, you may order foreign currency from your local TD Bank store. While traveling, you can also use your credit card or your TD Bank Visa ® Debit Card to make purchases or to get cash at an ATM.

Expand Global Trade Finance

What are my payment options for doing business overseas.

There are four main options: payment in advance, letter of credit, documentary collection or open account.

Payment in advance is the least risky for a seller in that you receive payment prior to shipping goods and assume no financing costs. However, many buyers won't want to pay in advance.

A letter of credit is one of the safest ways to get paid by overseas customers in that your bank is assuring payment, but, as a buyer, it is the equivalent of a loan for which you must apply.

With documentary collection, payment becomes due when your customer accepts ownership of your goods. Your bank acts as an agent for buyers and sellers, in that the bank maintains control of the title documents, but it does not contain an assurance of payment by the bank.

Open account is the same as in domestic trade in that a seller agrees to grant a buyer "credit" and the buyer agrees to make payment once the conditions of the sale are met. It has the highest risk of non-payment for a seller.

Deciding on which option to use can be complex and involve many different factors. Please contact a TD Bank Global Trade Finance representative at 800-937-8226 to find out which option is best for you.

How do I obtain a letter of credit (import/standby) from TD Bank?

Import and standby letters of credit are an extension of credit, like a loan. The bank must make a decision to grant you credit, just as they would for any commercial loan. For small businesses, you need to begin the process by talking to the banking and business development officer at your local TD Bank store; larger corporations should speak with a commercial lending officer. The seller normally provides the specific details of the letter of credit, and you would use that information to complete our commercial letter of credit application or standby letter of credit application . The completed application is processed by the TD Bank Global Trade Finance department once the lending authority at the bank has approved the extension of credit to you.

Can the importer complete the import letter of credit application online?

Yes. Customers who regularly require letters of credit may utilize our online trade services system, TD Bank Trade. View our TD Bank Trade information online and/or call TD Bank Global Trade Finance at 800-937-8226 for more details.

Can the exporter receive the advice of the letter of credit online?

TD Bank Customers may receive the advice of a letter of credit online when they use our online trade services system, TD Bank Trade. Call TD Bank Global Trade Finance at 800-937-8226 for more details.

Can the importer request the letter of credit be issued in the seller's local currency?

Yes. While many countries, such as China, Taiwan and South Korea prefer U.S. currency, others prefer local currency. TD Bank can easily issue a letter of credit in either the local currency or U.S. Dollars.

Can the exporter's letter of credit be made out to be in the local currency of the buyer?

Yes. This is a good way for the seller to remain competitive and to maintain control of the export sale.

What is a standby letter of credit and how is it used?

A standby letter of credit is an obligation of the issuing bank to make payment to the designated beneficiary, contingent on whether the bank's customer fails to perform as called for under the terms of a contract.

The standby letter of credit is issued based on the creditworthiness of the borrower, with an evaluation of credit similar to that for a commercial loan. They are issued by banks for a variety of purposes, including standing behind monetary obligations, insuring the refund of advance payment, supporting performance and bid obligations and insuring the completion of a contract.

Can I use my TD Bank Visa Debit Card at a bank overseas to obtain local currency?

How to protect your money when you travel

Keep the contents of your travel wallet to a minimum.

Never travel out of country without having a travel medical policy in place.

Things to do before you take off

Get your cards ready for travel

Beware of your surroundings, the final word.

Yet when something goes wrong, it can also be a nerve-racking experience. When we travel it's easy to let our guards down, making tourists an easy target for thieves and pickpockets. There's no worse feeling than having your finances compromised when you're away from home.

Follow these tips, and your money will be better protected wherever you travel.

Things to do before you take off 

Beware of deals: Some travel scams happen before you even depart. Be cautious of any calls or websites offering free or deeply discounted travel deals. It's recommended to only book with reputable sites or through a professional travel agent. Remember, if a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Empty your wallet : When travelling, it's best to keep the contents of your wallet to a minimum. I suggest just one credit card, your debit card, a single piece of ID, and a little bit of cash. There's no need to carry non-essential cards, or items such as your Social Insurance Number or birth certificate.

Get travel insurance: The cost of medical attention outside Canada can be expensive, so never travel out of country without having a travel medical policy in place. Fortunately many employers and credit card providers offer a comprehensive package as a standard benefit , but you'll want to read the details of the policy. If you're not covered, you can purchase your own policy which is usually reasonably priced.

Make copies of your documents: You'll want to write down or take photos of all your important documents, including your passport, travel itinerary, insurance policies and the contact numbers for your debit and credit card providers. Email this information to someone you trust and yourself so you have everything available in case of an emergency. 

Inform your debit and credit card providers: Thanks to increased security measures with debit and credit cards, the major banks no longer require you to alert them of your travel plans. However, if your credit card is issued by a different provider, it's still a good idea to let them know that you'll be away so your cards don't get blocked.

Bring an extra credit card: It's always a smart move to bring another credit card just in case your main one gets lost or stolen. Keep that secondary card somewhere secure, such as in your hotel safe. Never carry both of your credit cards in your wallet at the same time.

When to use it: While travelling, your credit card's built-in benefits, such as extended warranty and purchase protection, can offer additional peace of mind.  

Watch out for suspicious ABMs: Check with your bank about any partner ABM networks that you can use while travelling. You can also check with VISA and Mastercard for their partner ABMs. You'll want to avoid individual machines, which may not be as secure or may charge you a higher exchange rate. Don't forget to always cover the keypad when entering your PIN. 

Look up common scams: In many places around the world, there are some common scams you should look out for. Broken taxi meters, “free" religious items or bracelets, and spills on your clothing are just a few ways scammers try to get at your money. Always research local scams before you depart.

Keep an eye on your valuables: Pickpockets lurk in many major cities, so don't make yourself an easy target. Never leave your bag unattended, not even for a second. Whenever you're on public transportation or in a crowded space, keep your valuables close. 

No matter how prepared you are, there's still a chance that you may become a victim. Just prepare as best you can and don't let thieves ruin your travels.

Travelling can be a thrilling experience — whether you're venturing abroad or into your own backyard, there's nothing more exciting than exploring someplace new.

Do i need to notify a credit card company when traveling.

If you have planned travel coming up, alerting your credit card issuers about your vacation plans can help to ensure that your charges aren't declined when you arrive. Here's how you can prepare yourself and your credit card for your next trip.

What is a credit card travel notice?

A travel notice is an alert to your credit card issuer that you'll be going on a trip to a different location. By giving this notice in advance, you're letting your credit card company know that you may be making charges from a different state or country.

Why should you notify your credit card company of travel?

Credit card companies check cardholders' accounts for any unusual or suspicious activity when a transaction occurs. If your company sees a charge from a location away from home, your issuer may think this is suspicious activity and decline the charge. If you're visiting a country or location where fraudulent charges occur more often, the chances of your credit card getting declined are higher when you don't alert your credit card issuer about your travel.

Do you need to notify your credit card company?

You're not required to notify your credit card company when you're going away on vacation, but it is highly recommended. By letting your credit card company know where you're going and for how long, your company will know that any card transactions from that location were likely authorized by you. Check with your credit card issuer to see if they have travel notification capabilities.

Traveling outside your city

If you're traveling to an area not far from home, it's unlikely that any credit card charges will be declined, so setting a travel notification may not be a necessity.

Traveling outside your state

As you travel further from home, the chance of charges being declined is higher. If you're visiting another state, you can notify your credit card company that you're going away to avoid any hassles as you travel.

Traveling outside your country

You should definitely consider filing a travel notice for every trip outside your country. If you don't file a travel alert with your card issuer, your credit card may get declined and you might need to contact your credit card company to approve your transactions. If you're in a different country you may have trouble with making an international call, an inconvenience that can prevent you from authorizing your charge and enjoying your trip.

Which credit cards require a travel notice?

Not all credit card companies recommend that you set a travel notice before you go away, including those with EMV chips that may provide added security when you travel. If your credit card doesn't have an EMV chip, you should contact your bank before you leave to make sure your trip goes smoothly.

Multiple credit cards

If you own multiple credit cards, you should set travel notifications for each of the cards you plan to use on vacation. Even if you plan to use one of the cards only in case of emergency, set a travel alert for it just in case.

Risks of not filing a credit card travel notice

If you don't give your credit card issuer a travel notice, the company won't know that you'll be making purchases in a new location. If the company starts to see charges on your credit card from a different state or country, it may flag these transactions as fraud. The credit card issuer may then put your account on hold and prevent you from making any purchases until you can authorize the charges.

Once a credit card is declined, the cardholder has to call the issuer or provide an app verification in order to prove that the purchase made was authorized. You may have difficulties contacting your bank for various reasons, such as if your vacation spot has bad cell service or if you didn't set up international calling for your phone plan. Notifying your credit card company before you leave on vacation will help you avoid this hassle.

How to notify your credit card company of travel

You can notify your credit card issuer about your vacation over the phone, online, through a mobile app or in person. You can also contact your credit card issuer to get a better understanding of how to set a travel notice.

Setting your travel notice online or through a mobile app

Setting your travel notification online or through an app can be easier than speaking with customer service, depending on your preferences. Log into your account on your credit card company's website or app and search for “travel notice" options. If you're unable to find where to set your travel notice, get in contact with your credit card issuer.

Setting your travel notice over the phone or in-person

To set a travel alert for your credit card over the phone, call the number on the back of your card to get in touch with your bank. The customer service line will either let you speak to a representative on the phone or work with an automated system. If you have any questions or concerns about your travel notice, calling your credit card company is a good method to set the notification.

If you want to set your travel notice in person, go to your nearest branch to meet with a representative. Meeting face-to-face gives you the chance to ask any questions you might have.

How to Set a Travel Notice for Your Credit Cards

She's been writing about personal finance for six years, and was previously the senior writer at The Penny Hoarder and a staff writer at Student Loan Hero. Her personal finance writing has also appeared in publications like MarketWatch and Lifehacker.

When I worked at a ski rental shop in Breckenridge, Colorado, I witnessed many international (and some out-of-state) customers’ credit cards get declined.

Not because their credit limits were too low or because they were purchasing too much — but because they failed to set up travel notifications with their card issuers.

So now, any time I travel to a foreign country, I always set up a travel notice on my credit card beforehand.

Since I travel with the Chase Sapphire Reserve® (Review), I create a Chase travel notice, but you can take this step with most major credit or debit cards. Here’s how.

What Is a Credit Card Travel Notice?

As a way to prevent fraud , your credit card issuer monitors your spending activity. If it notices a suspicious purchase — in an unusually large amount, or from a new location — it may decline the transaction. This could be more likely in countries where fraud is a bigger problem.

Which is why the answer to the question “Should I notify my credit card company when traveling?” is usually yes.

Although you can often get away with shopping in another state without triggering a red flag, international travel is another story.

By notifying your credit card of your travel plans, you’ll reduce the chances of getting your transaction declined in the checkout line — which, trust me, is never fun — and having to call your card issuer to verify your purchases. It’s still possible to have your purchases declined after setting a travel notice, but it’s much less likely.

How to Set Up Travel Notices for 8 Major Credit Card Issuers

Ready to create your first travel alert? While you could call your card issuer, it’s easier to do it online.

Here’s how to set up travel notices with eight different credit card issuers.

Chase travel notice

Because of the company’s abundant travel perks and partnership with the Visa network — which is widely accepted worldwide — Chase cards are a favorite among globetrotters.

You can create Chase travel notifications up to a year in advance for credit cards, and up to 14 days for debit cards. Your travel dates can span an entire year — if you’re away for longer, you’ll simply have to adjust your dates once you’re on the road. Chase will have your request on file within 24 hours from the time you submit.

To set up Chase travel notifications, you’ll need to log in to your account and click on the credit card you plan to use. Under the “Things you can do” dropdown menu on the right, you’ll see the “Travel notification” option. That will take you to your “Profile & Settings” page, where you’ll be able to create a travel alert.

Insider tip

Depending on the type of Chase account you have, the process may be slightly different for you. In any case, just look for your “Profile & Settings” page, and then look for a button to set a travel notice.

Alternatively, if you’re already outside the country, you can call Chase collect at 1-302-594-8200 to alert the issuer of your travel plans.

Setting up a travel notice with the Chase bank app

After logging in to the Chase mobile app, tap the profile icon (this should appear as the outline of a person) and select “My settings.” Choose “Travel” within the settings menu and tap “Update” near any credit or debit card products you’ll be taking.

This will allow you to enter the details for your upcoming trip, which can be edited at a later time. Saving this information will successfully set up a travel notice.

Our favorite Chase travel card: While many Chase credit cards are adventure-ready, we’d recommend the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card for new travelers. Not only does it earn 2X Chase Ultimate Rewards points per dollar on travel, but you’ll also get a great introductory bonus: 60,000 bonus points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first 3 months. You’ll also earn 5X Ultimate Rewards points per dollar on Lyft rides and travel purchased through Chase Ultimate Rewards. You can transfer the points you earn to a variety of airline and hotel loyalty programs. The Sapphire Preferred has a $95 annual fee.

American Express travel notice

Surprise! You actually can’t create an Amex travel notice.

On its site, the issuer says it uses “industry-leading fraud detection capabilities” that help it recognize when you’re on the road, thereby eliminating the need to create an American Express travel notification.

The issuer does recommend you update your contact information, so it can reach you in case of any complications, and download the Amex app, so you can manage your account on the go.

Note that Amex credit cards aren’t as widely accepted across the globe. If you’re a frequent international traveler, we’d recommend looking for a card with a Visa or Mastercard logo instead because they’re accepted by most merchants.

Our favorite American Express travel card: For its $695 Rates & Fees annual fee, The Platinum Card® from American Express offers a slew of travel perks. They include extensive airport lounge access; 5X Membership Rewards points per dollar on eligible flights and hotels (starting 1/1/21, on up to $500,000 spent per calendar year); and up to $200 in Uber credits per year. Its introductory bonus is Earn 100,000 Membership Rewards® points after you spend $6,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. Apply and select your preferred metal Card design: classic Platinum Card®, Platinum x Kehinde Wiley, or Platinum x Julie Mehretu..

Capital One travel notice

As with Amex, there’s no need to set a travel notice for Capital One credit cards.

If you log in and click “Set Travel Notification,” you’ll be greeted by this window:

The issuer, long popular with international travelers for its lack of foreign transaction fees, says: “With the added security of your Capital One chip card, travel notifications are no longer needed on your credit card.”

It notes Capital One will cover you with its $0 fraud liability policy, and will also be on the lookout for any suspicious activity.

Our favorite Capital One travel card: The Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card is a fantastic, easy-to-use travel rewards card, offering 2X Venture miles per dollar on everything. The introductory bonus is 60,000 bonus miles for spending $3,000 in the first 3 months. It comes with a $95 annual fee.

Bank of America travel notice

Ready to travel with your Bank of America card? Log in to your account, and in the menu at the top right, you’ll see “Help & Support.”

Hover over those words, and a drop-down menu will appear. Click on “Set Travel Notice” — and voila! You’ll be able to add your travel dates and destinations, as well as extra details about your trip, like any planned layovers.

Setting a travel notice with Bank of America.

Bank of America cards allow you to set travel notices up to 60 days in advance, and they can last for up to 90 days. If you’ll be traveling longer than that you’ll need to adjust your travel notice later on.

Our favorite Bank of America travel credit card: If you don’t want to pay an annual fee, the Bank of America® Travel Rewards Credit Card might work for you. You’ll earn 3X points per dollar at the Bank of America travel center and 1.5X points on everything else. After you make $1,000 in purchases in the first 90 days, you’ll earn 25,000 points — enough for a $250 statement credit toward travel purchases.

Citi travel notice

If you have a Citi credit card, the first step is to log in to your account.

Then you should hover over the “Services” button in the menu, and then select “Travel Services.” Next you can select “Manage Travel Notices,” before selecting the card for which you want to set a notice. Unlike some other issuers, you’ll need to set a separate notice for each card you plan to travel with.

Citi advises making sure your contact information is up to date before traveling, and also to download the Citi Mobile App to more easily monitor your account.

Here’s what setting a Citi travel notice looks like:

Setting a travel notice with Citi.

Then, once you fill out your destination and dates and verify your info, you’ll be good to go!

Our favorite Citi travel credit card: The offers a generous 3X ThankYou points per dollar on air travel and at gas stations, restaurants, supermarkets, and hotels. You can earn None. There’s a None annual fee to pay for this card.

Discover travel notice

Although Discover credit cards aren’t the best for traveling internationally, as they aren’t accepted as widely as Visa or Mastercard, you should still set up a travel notice if you bring your Discover card overseas.

You can do this from your online account by selecting “Manage” at the top of your screen, then clicking “Manage Cards” and then “Register Travel.”

Setting a travel notice with Discover.

Our favorite Discover travel card: For a card with no annual fee, the Discover it® Miles isn’t a bad choice. You’ll get 1.5X miles per dollar spent on everything, with double your miles at the end of your first cardholder year.

PNC travel notice

If you have a PNC credit or debit card, the bank recommends you set up a travel notice, explaining: “You typically use your card at local merchants and online, but suddenly you’re buying tapas in Madrid or sushi in Tokyo. This unexpected activity is what triggers the alert. Although less likely, this kind of predicament also can happen when traveling domestically.”

To notify PNC, you can either call the financial institution at 1-888-PNC-BANK or set up an alert online. After logging in to your account, you’ll select: “Customer Service” –> “Account Services” –> “Debit/ATM Card Services” –> “Edit/View Preferences.”

Then, in the bottom right corner of your screen, you’ll see an option to “Notify PNC of Foreign Travel.” After filling it out with your dates, destinations, and phone number, you’ll be ready to go.

Recommended PNC travel credit card: Like the BofA card, the PNC Premier Traveler® Visa Signature® isn’t the best option out there — but it’s fine for PNC loyalists. It offers a 30,000-mile introductory bonus when you spend $3,000 in the first three billing cycles, and 2X miles per dollar spent on everything. Its $85 annual fee is waived the first year.

Wells Fargo travel notice

If you’d like to tell Wells Fargo of your travel plans, you can either call the number on the back of your card, use the bank’s mobile app, or log in to your online account.

If you choose the latter method, you’ll hover over the “Accounts” dropdown menu, then click on “Manage Cards” –> “Manage Travel Plans.” As with the other issuers, you’ll enter your dates and destinations before submitting.

Recommended Wells Fargo travel credit card: There aren’t any Wells Fargo travel cards at the moment.

If you’d prefer a Visa card from Wells Fargo for traveling, consider the Wells Fargo Active Cash℠ Card . It offers 2% cash back on everything you buy, with a solid introductory bonus, but it also has a foreign transaction fee.

4 Things to Consider When Choosing a Travel Credit Card

If you’re looking for another piece of plastic to add to your wallet, here are four things to consider when choosing the best travel rewards credit card:

Foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge a 3% fee for making purchases in a foreign currency. If you plan to travel abroad, make sure your chosen card has no foreign transaction fees.
Annual fees: Many of the top-tier travel rewards credit cards have hefty annual fees. But before getting scared off, see if the card offers any credits or benifits that offset it. For example, while the Chase Sapphire Reserve® has a $550 annual fee, it also offers a $300 annual travel credit that applies toward flights, car rentals, and even Lyft rides.
Rewards and perks: One of the most compelling reasons to get a travel credit card is the opportunity to earn points and miles that you can exchange for free travel. So take a look at your potential card’s introductory bonus and earning ability. You should also read the fine print to learn all about its travel perks, which might include airport lounge access or travel insurance.
Loyalty programs: The majority of hotel chains and airlines have co-branded cards that earn additional rewards when you spend money with them. So if you are loyal to a particular brand, it’s wise to consider the co-branded options. For hotel cards, examples include the IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card, Marriott Bonvoy Boundless™ Credit Card, and The World of Hyatt Credit Card. For airline cards, you can choose from options like the United℠ Explorer Card or Southwest Rapid Rewards® Plus Credit Card.

Whichever card you choose, be sure to set a travel notice before you board your next train or cruise or flight — and then enjoy your vacation free of worries!

You don’t have to stick to “travel credit cards” just because you want to, you know, travel with your credit card. As long as you set up a travel notification when you go, you can use any card you’d like. So, in case they’re a better fit, here are links to the best cash back, balance transfer, and 0% intro APR credit cards.

Travel notifications

Travel notifications may prevent you from encountering issues while using your Fidelity ® Debit Card during your travels. Letting us know your travel plans, whether domestic or international, helps reduce the likelihood of authorized debit card transactions being declined when traveling. We monitor your activity 24/7 and decline transactions that do not appear to belong to you.

What we'll cover

Placing a travel notification Advanced notice Multiple travel destinations Edit/delete a travel notification

Placing a travel notification

You can place a travel notification in three different ways:

Select the Add travel notification button at the top of this page and follow the instructions.

Use the Fidelity mobile app to add a travel notification. Select your account, click the utility menu (three dots) and click the Manage debit card link.

Call the Fidelity Debit Card Services number on the back of your card.

A debit card security alert is sent to confirm the addition of a travel notification. If you did not add the travel notification, please contact Fidelity Debit Card Services.

Advanced notice

Notifications will immediately be noted to your account. You can notify us of any travel plans you have up to 90 days in advance.

Multiple travel destinations

Each destination should be added as a unique travel notification. If you'll be in two locations on the same day, your end date should be based on the destination in which you’ll spend the majority of that day.

Edit/delete a travel notification

Should your travel plans change, you can easily edit or delete your travel notification. You can access the travel notification page the same way you set up your notification and simply use the Edit or Delete link next to the notification you want to modify.

The credit limit on this card is also equal to the amount you have saved in your Credit Builder Account. Learn more : Is the Self – Credit Builder Account with Secured Visa Credit Card worth it?

This card reports to all three credit bureaus, helping you to achieve any credit-building goals.
Since no hard credit inquiry is required for application, your credit score won't be impacted.

Start with a Credit Builder Account* that reports to all 3 credit bureaus. Each on-time monthly payment builds credit history and savings. Choose the plan that works for you.

Compare Bankrate's top prepaid cards

On This Page

Prepaid debit cards are similar to debit cards, except prepaid cards aren’t connected to banking or checking accounts. Instead, funds are loaded onto the card — either online, in person at specific locations, by depositing checks or reloading with cash — then reloaded when those funds run out.

Think of them as a cross between gift cards and debit cards — they have a card number, CVV code and expiration date like debit and credit cards. They also don't usually impact your credit score, as prepaid card issuers typically don’t check your credit when you apply, and they won’t check your banking history (though this isn’t always the case).

However, you should keep in mind that most prepaid cards have fees associated with them, such as:

Reload fees
Monthly fees
ATM withdrawal fees
Inactivity fees
Transaction fees

Pros and cons of prepaid cards

While one of the benefits of a prepaid card is its accessibility, make sure to read the fine print before you apply. Some cards have activation fees and monthly maintenance charges, which can eat into your spending.

No credit check needed: People with low or no credit can practice responsible credit habits without taking a hit to their credit scores.

Budgeting tool: Because you’re limited to spending your deposit amount, prepaid cards make it easier to stay within your budget and cut back on monthly spending.

More fees than debit cards: Debit cards typically charge overdraft, monthly and sometimes ATM fees. Unfortunately, prepaid cards charge those fees on top of transaction fees, reload fees, inactivity fees and more.

Can’t build credit: Prepaid card issuers don’t report to credit bureaus, meaning users won’t improve their credit scores over time with this card type. Secured credit cards are a better option for people with no credit or low credit to increase their scores.

Prepaid cards are an excellent option for anyone with difficulty accessing traditional banking services, but features vary among cards. Here are some things you should keep in mind while shopping for a prepaid card.

Take a look at the fees. One of the reasons many people have a difficult time accessing traditional banking services is because of the costs. If your prepaid card charges a litany of fees, such as ATM fees, monthly service fees or reload fees, you should consider if the card is worth it.
Know your loading options . How difficult or easy will it be to reload your prepaid card? Are fees attached? Some prepaid cards will allow you to reload your card with ACH transfers, but you’ll often reload manually at an ATM. It’s important that you have access to several ATMs in your area.
Make sure the card offers mobile access. Mobile banking is becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. It’s convenient, safe and can give you peace of mind. The best prepaid cards will offer you the option to use the cards online and have access to a mobile app.
Consider if you’re banked or underbanked . While prepaid cards function similarly, there are significant differences between prepaid cards and debit cards , specifically where funds are stored, which can be a significant factor for those who are unbanked or underbanked. Prepaid cards provide several benefits to people who don’t have access to traditional bank accounts (unbanked people) or whose access to banking services is inconvenient or too expensive ( underbanked people). If you’ve struggled to gain access to traditional banking services because of upfront costs (such as deposit minimums or initiation fees), a prepaid card might be the answer.

You can use Bankrate's Compare Credit Cards tool to help shop for the best prepaid card with as few fees as possible.

Rates of unbanked people are particularly high for those in low-income households. While the U.S. average for being unbanked is around 4.5 percent , those who have an income of under $25,000 and are underbanked are 17 percent . The main reasons cited are lack of proper funds and lack of trust . Prepaid cards can be a great alternative for people facing these hurdles.

To make the most of your prepaid card and ensure a seamless financial experience, follow these expert tips.

How to choose a prepaid card

Decide on a payment network.

Payment networks like PayPal, Visa, Mastercard and Netspend all have prepaid debit cards available. Some networks are accepted at more merchants than others so make sure to pick one that’s accepted at stores you regularly shop at.

Check fees and limitations

Prepaid cards come with a multitude of fees. If you don’t factor these into your spending, you might have less than you originally thought.

Review spending habits

Prepaid cards only have what you load onto them, so make sure to load a proper amount to avoid the reload fee that could possibly be attached to the card.

Pick up & load the card

You can receive your prepaid card from many places, both in-person and online, and may even be able to get it the same day. Once you activate and load your card, you should be able to start using it immediately.

How to maximize a prepaid card

When it comes to managing your spending and avoiding debt, a prepaid card can be valuable. With the right features and responsible usage, you can maximize the benefits of a prepaid card while staying in control of your finances.

Prepaid debit cards let you use plastic when shopping online or in stores without a traditional checking account . It’s great for scenarios like a parent or guardian giving a teenager a card to make purchases with a monthly budget or if you need to cut back on spending and want to set hard limits. Understand what you’re using a prepaid card for and how it can ultimately help you reach your financial goals.

Research and compare cards

Each prepaid card may come with its own set of features, fees and limitations. You can find a card that aligns with your specific needs by conducting thorough research. Look for cards with low or no activation fees, reasonable transaction fees and useful benefits tailored to your requirements.

Set a budget

One of the key advantages of using a prepaid card is that it allows you to set a budget and stick to it. By loading only the amount you plan to spend onto the card, you can avoid overspending and accumulating debt, so it's essential to do so with a strategic approach.

Strategize your reloads

Consider your spending patterns and avoid reloading large sums unnecessarily, as it might tie up your funds or expose you to additional fees. Plan your reloads effectively. Strike a balance between having enough funds and not maintaining an excessive balance on the card.

Be aware of drawbacks

Prepaid cards may not offer the same consumer protections as credit or debit cards in case of fraud or unauthorized transactions. It's crucial to review the terms and conditions the card issuer provides regarding liability protection and dispute resolution processes. As a precaution, make sure to set some money aside for an emergency or rainy day fund .

When evaluating the best prepaid cards, we take into account several factors, including how cards score in our proprietary card rating system and whether they offer features that fit the priorities of a diverse group of cardholders, from low fees to wide acceptance to earning rewards.

We analyzed the most popular prepaid card options and scored each card based on its fee structure, rewards rate and earnings, perks and more to determine whether it belonged in this month’s roundup.

Here are some of the key factors that we considered:

Reasonable fees

To start, all cards on this list charge either a variable monthly fee, fixed monthly fee or a one-time account fee. As many prepaid cards have monthly fees, we identified those with limited additional costs and hidden fees.

More important to these cards’ scores and their inclusion in our list is how their fees influence their overall value. We consider card fees in two ways — how it ranks relative to the fees you’ll find on other cards in the category and how it impacts a card’s overall value.

Cards with high fees will always be at a slight disadvantage in our scoring system since fees inherently cut into any rewards value the card may offer. However, if a card offers terrific value in other ways, such as perks or convenience it can earn a spot in our list even if it carries high fees.

Flexibility and perks

Along with cost and rewards value, we consider other factors that could give cards great long-term usefulness.

We considered how widely a card is accepted, and we sought options that are likely to be accepted anywhere you spend. Our team considered the size of each card’s network, the trustworthiness of each financial institution and the accessibility of reload options.

Due to the nature of prepaid and debit cards, additional perks such credit-building tools can be difficult to come by. If a card offers a path to improving your credit score, we’ve factored that into our scoring.

For rewards-earning cards, we consider any restrictions they impose on earning and redeeming rewards when deciding on a card’s inclusion in our list.

These restrictions could include only allowing users to earn a high rewards rate on a small amount of spending or requiring users to meet a certain earning threshold before they can redeem rewards. We also examine whether points are worth less when you opt for some redemption options over others and whether a card gives you the flexibility to transfer rewards to airline and hotel partners.

We also evaluate each card’s perks based on their value and uniqueness. For prepaid cards, flexibility and convenience can play a significant role in a card’s overall usefulness.

Rewards value

Since many cardholders looking for a prepaid card are eager to earn rewards, a key criteria for a card’s inclusion in our list is its rewards value. Rewards value factors in a card’s average rewards rate, estimated annual rewards earnings, sign-up bonus value and reward redemption value.

To estimate a card’s average annual rewards earnings, we calculate its average rewards rate based on how much it earns in different bonus categories, as well as how closely those categories match the average person’s spending habits. In other words: Does the card earn rewards at a high rate in the most popular spending categories?

We use consumer spending data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to get a reliable third-party measure of people’s spending habits. The most recent BLS data estimates average total spending in 2021 was $66,928 per consumer. We then narrow our focus to which purchases are likely to be put on a credit card and earn rewards, subtracting expenditures like housing, vehicle purchases and education. This gives us a total “chargeable” annual spend of around $22,500.

This includes the following spending by category:

Groceries: $5,200
Dining out: $3,000
Entertainment: $2,500
Gas: $2,100
Apparel and services: $1,700

Using this data, we assign a weighting to each of a card’s bonus categories. For example, a card’s grocery rewards rate receives a 23 percent weighting based on how much of the average person’s budget is spent on groceries. We also estimate the redemption value of points or miles from various issuer, airline and hotel rewards programs.

This weighting and rewards valuation allows us to estimate a card’s average annual rewards earnings — how many points or miles you’d earn with a given card if your spending was about average and you used the card for all of your purchases — as well as what those points are worth. We also use point valuations to determine a card’s sign-up bonus value

With these calculations complete, we assign each card a score based on how its average rewards earnings, sign-up bonus value, rewards rate and redemption value stack up against other cards in its primary category.

The better these values, the higher its score will be, making it more worthy of inclusion in our list and increasing its potential ranking.

Frequently asked questions about prepaid cards

How do i get a prepaid card.

You can get a prepaid card in a number of ways, including:

Online : You can go online and purchase a prepaid card using your credit or debit card information, which will be charged at the time of purchase.
In-store : You can go to any store and purchase a prepaid card with cash.
At a bank branch : You can go to a bank branch, provide your personal information and purchase a prepaid card with cash or by using your checking account number and routing number (which is typically on checks).

How do you reload a prepaid card?

You can reload a prepaid card much like you would receive money in a checking account linked to a debit card. Here are some ways you could reload a prepaid debit card, depending on the issuer:

In person at the financial institution that issued the card
In person at participating retail locations
Online transfer from a checking or savings account
Mobile deposit, if available
Direct deposit, if available

What are alternatives to prepaid cards?

If you'd rather not use a prepaid card, there are other options that may suit your needs better:

Fintech banking apps: These apps, like SoFi , work like any other bank app, but they don't require a traditional bank account. Some of these apps are free, but some charge monthly fees for certain features.
Alternative spending accounts: An alternative spending account, like Chime , is typically a checking account without overdraft fees, monthly fees or service fees. They're designed for people who want a simple place to keep their money but don't want all of the features of a traditional checking account.
Second-chance checking accounts: These second-chance accounts allow people who have been denied access to traditional checking accounts due to low credit scores or unpaid debts access to basic banking services.
Secured credit cards: These allow people who have bad or no credit histories to make a deposit for access to a limited credit line. If you can afford to make a security deposit upfront, you can use a secured credit card for minor expenses and build your credit score at the same time.
