True. It feels like banks at least in the States have improved their systems around this in recent years. I remember having to call them and tell them I was going overseas and where to about a decade ago. Nowadays they have more sophisticated systems that rarely if ever block me. Usually the problem is on the receiving end of the payment now if anything. Most recent annoyance was trying to book LATAM in Peru a couple of years ago in soles and getting blocked from doing that by LATAM themselves after triggering some weird anti fraud system
- ghaff 3y agoNo one even seems to want you (or provides a mechanism to) file international travel plans any longer. Been quite a few years since I've had an issue but I used to have some random declines for things like a $15 western US truck stop or a modest grocery purchase.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoSo true! I remember calling Chase one day on the way to the airport a few years ago to tell them where I was going and hearing “yeah we are actually good enough now you don’t need to tell us”. Banking lumbers along but this is definitely something I’ve seen an improvement on in the last decade
