Statement Narrative / Visa Debit Foreign Transactions

    Something I've been noticing on the BOI statements, for any Visa Debit transactions abroad, say the US for example, the merchant or transaction detail never appears on statements.

    Makes it impossible to track useage if I can't identify valid transactions and try spot anything untoward.

    For example, if I book a hotel in the US on BoI Visa Debit, the following narrative appears;
    POS3009US 87.00 @ 1.22431

    That's it, no description, nothing!

    Do this four or five times in quick succession and you quickly lose track of what's what. It could be weeks or months by the time somebody realises they've been defrauded, surely it wouldn't be hard for BOI to add some basic or even abbreviated narrative?

    Hi Savman,

    The details on Visa Debit transactions come through to a customer's account in the same way as Laser transactions. The details update when the retailer processes the transaction. This is why some transactions appear more quickly than others.

    When details come from a retailer we will update a customers account, we have no control over which details a retailer will send us.

    I hope this answers your question.
    Thanks

    I don't think you're quite grasping me here Linda, the information never shows at all. I'm going back 3-4 months and going through eStatements that have been issued, no detail for any foreign transactions.
