Travelling makes you more vulnerable to card fraud
Every day, it is estimated that £1.2 million is lost through card fraud in the UK. Phoning your provider in a cold sweat after discovering your account wiped out or payments you’ve not made is something many of us have experienced at some point. Fortunately, card companies have a legal obligation to reimburse you – including interest or charges incurred – but it is not a nice feeling and sorting it out can be highly inconvenient.
