Can I use my Nedbank app overseas?

Spending Abroad Made Easy with Nedbank

Planning an international trip? Don’t let currency exchange and foreign transaction fees dampen your adventures. Nedbank offers seamless spending solutions abroad, allowing you to focus on exploring new horizons rather than worrying about your finances.

With Nedbank, you have two primary options for managing your money overseas:

1. The Nedbank Travel Card: This prepaid card offers a secure and convenient way to carry foreign currency. Load it with your chosen currency before you depart, locking in exchange rates and avoiding fluctuating fees. The Travel Card can be used just like a debit card at millions of merchants worldwide, as well as for withdrawing cash from ATMs. This option provides excellent budgeting control, as you’re limited to the pre-loaded amount, minimizing the risk of overspending.

2. Activate Your Existing Nedbank Cards: Prefer the familiarity of your everyday banking cards? You can easily activate your current Nedbank debit and credit cards for international use. This eliminates the need for carrying a separate card and simplifies managing your finances. Activation can be done quickly and conveniently through the Nedbank Money app or via Online Banking. Remember to check the associated fees for international transactions and withdrawals with your specific card type.

Preparing with the Nedbank Money App and Online Banking:

Both the Nedbank Money app and Online Banking platform provide the tools you need to prepare your finances for your trip. Activate your existing cards, order a Travel Card, and manage your accounts all in one place. These digital platforms allow you to:

• Activate international usage: Switch on international functionality for your existing debit and credit cards with a few taps.
• Order a Travel Card: Apply for and manage your Travel Card directly through the app or online.
• Monitor your spending: Track your transactions in real-time, keeping a close eye on your budget while abroad.
• Set transaction limits: Enhance security and control spending by setting daily or weekly limits for your cards.
• Access customer support: Connect with Nedbank support if you encounter any issues or have questions while travelling.

By taking advantage of these convenient features, you can enjoy a stress-free travel experience, knowing your finances are well taken care of. So, whether you choose the dedicated Travel Card or opt to activate your existing cards, Nedbank provides the tools you need for seamless spending abroad. Remember to plan ahead and activate your chosen method before your departure to ensure uninterrupted access to your funds throughout your journey.
