More Travel Tips

• Plan multiple payment options. You'll have more reliable access to funds if you plan several methods of payment, including Visa Check Card (debit), credit cards, travelers checks, and foreign currency.


• Order Foreign Currency from SESLOC. Allow 14 business days (minimum) before your departure. Only Euros and British pounds are available for conversion.  Minimum amount: $100.00 in U.S. currency. Some funds are kept on hand. Call the Accounting department for availability
  
  
• Use a Visa Check Card (debit) for ATM withdrawals outside the U.S.
  ATM cards will only work within the U.S.
  
  
• Activate a new ATM or Visa Check Card (debit) before you travel by performing a PIN-based transaction. Cards cannot be activated from outside the U.S.
  
  
• VISA Check Cards and Credit Cards may be used for cash withdrawals or cash advances from ATMs, as well as purchases.
  
  
• VISA Credit Card cash advances require your VISA PIN. This is different from your ATM or Visa Check Card PIN. A cash advance fee and a foreign currency exchange fee apply. Look for an ATM with the Visa logo.
  
  
• Our security system monitors your account for atypical transactions and our Fraud Monitoring Service may try to contact you to verify activity. Providing your current cell phone number can assist us in reaching you if you're traveling.
  
  
• Foreign Country Transaction Blocks are in place for some foreign countries due to fraud alerts. Complete our Member Travel Notification form before you leave, so we can provide more flexibility as you access your account from outside the state or the country.
   
  
• Take along the Lost/Stolen reporting phone numbers for your credit and debit cards. These are listed under Contact Us.
