Debit MasterCard
®Accepted at over 35 million locations worldwide, a Debit MasterCard is an easy way to pay with your own money, without carrying a wallet full of cash.

A great feature of your Everyday Account that allows you to access additional funds up to an approved limit. Apply before you leave to have a financial safety net whilst you travel.
No matter where you’re going, you’ll need easy, secure access to your money.
Travel Checklist
Money
❏ Take a mixed wallet with a Travel
Money Card, Foreign Cash, Debit MasterCard or Keycard and Credit Cards – various payment options for all situations.
❏ If you have a Keycard, make sure
that the Everyday Account you want
to access is linked as the primary savings account.
❏ Check international fees and
charges on transactions on your
accounts so there are no surprises when you return.
❏ Consider a Travel Loan if you need
some help financing your travels.
❏ Apply for a Personal Overdraft
before you go to give you access to extra funds should any unexpected costs arise.
Security
❏ Notify us before you go to avoid
a temporary hold being placed on your card(s). You can do this through NetBank via the ‘Managing your Accounts’ tab or drop in at a Branch.
❏ Lock, block and limit your credit
card in the CommBank app or NetBank for greater control of your card
when traveling.
❏ Register for NetBank and download
the CommBank app so you can manage your accounts with ease while you’re overseas.
❏ Increase security by setting a PIN
on your Travel Money Card, Debit MasterCard or Keycard and Credit Cards. Make sure you memorise the PIN numbers before you go.
❏ If you’re not taking your mobile, it’s a great idea to register for a
NetCode token so you can still
transfer money online.
Other tips
❏ Plan ahead to make sure your passport,
visas and other essential documents
are ready. Make photocopies and
leave with a family member or keep separately in case anything goes missing.
❏ Organise Travel Insurance to
protect you if the unexpected occurs. Certain CommBank credit cards offer complimentary international travel insurance.
❏ If you’re taking your mobile, check with your phone company about the fees and charges you could pay for global
roaming. Global roaming means that
you can receive NetCode SMS while you’re overseas.
