Just going to jump in on this.
I remember previously needing to notify bank of travel plans via the helpdesk on 365.

I am heading to US for a few days later this week, do I need to notify the bank? It seems I don't from what I've ready, just to keep an eye on SMS that may be received.

Can you confirm my card will work when in US?

It's nice to hear from you again Squall Leonhart. We no longer ask customers to notify us of their travel plans. Our card security team may issue a text or email to you if any transactions trigger a security check. Once you reply to any of their messages, the card will not be restricted.

Your debit card can be used at ATMs and point of sale showing the Visa symbol. I've attached a link here to information on cross border handling charges that are applied when you use your card for non-Euro transactions.

Hope you have a great trip and if you need help with anything while abroad, we're on Twitter 24/7 at @TalktoBOI.
