Some fees apply when you use your credit card overseas. Please refer to the Rates and Fees associated with your credit card for a complete list of fees for overseas transactions.

The Contactless payment feature on your card cannot be disabled, however you don’t have to use this feature. Just continue to insert the card into the EFTPOS terminal and use your PIN.

Any transactions above that amount will require you to enter your PIN. Please note when using your card overseas a different threshold amount may apply to Contactless payments and you may be asked to enter your PIN or sign for your transactions.
