Using your nbkc debit card while traveling

Before traveling, especially internationally, nbkc recommends adding a travel alert to your debit card. Sharing your travel plans helps ensure your card works smoothly in foreign countries, reduces potential transaction blocks, and minimizes security flags related to unusual international activity.

How to request a travel alert

nbkc recommends taking these steps before international travel:

• Contact nbkc customer support to set up a travel notice on your debit card
• Inform the bank of your destination and travel dates
• Verify that your card will be active during your international travel and will work in the countries you are visiting
• Ensure you have the bank's customer support contact information for emergencies

When you reach out, provide the following information:

• Your travel dates
• Your destination countries or locations

What nbkc does with your travel details

When you provide your travel locations and travel dates, nbkc uses this information while reviewing unusual transactions. Sharing your destinations and travel period helps verify activity and reduces the chance of legitimate transactions being flagged or blocked due to unusual international or out-of-area usage.

Using card controls and settings while traveling

nbkc provides options to manage debit card usage through transaction, location, and merchant controls. Location controls and international-related transaction settings can affect how your card works abroad. Before and during international travel, review these controls to help ensure your card usage aligns with where you will be traveling.
