A Note to US Bank VISA Cardholders regarding foreign travel:
If you are planning travel to a foreign country, notify Jean Sukow, Program Administrator, Ext. 2255. Jean will notify US Bank of your travel plans so that charges made in a foreign country will not be denied.
When charging in a foreign country, the US Bank Fraud Department may believe your card is being used without your knowledge or permission. They will attempt to call you and verify the charge; however, if you are on travel status, it may be impossible to reach you.
*** If they are unable to reach you, they will not authorize the charge. ***
