Lost your Visa credit card during a business trip? Request an Emergency Card or Emergency Cash

It can happen to anyone. You are abroad on a business trip and your business credit card gets lost or stolen. What should you do?

Keep your credit card safe

It is important to keep your credit card safe when travelling on business. This means storing it in a safe place, checking regularly that you still have it and making sure you receive your own Card back after making a payment. Even so, your credit card could still get lost or stolen while you're abroad. Visa offers the Emergency Card and Emergency Cash services for situations like these.
