How do I control spending on my debit card abroad with the Barclays app?
When you’re outside the UK, you can use your debit card anywhere you see the Visa sign.
You can switch off in-store international spending to prevent your card being used in shops, restaurants and bars abroad. This won’t stop it being used for withdrawing cash, or any online or recurring payments. You can block and unblock payments to shops, bars and restaurants abroad in your app1 – just follow these steps:
- On your home page, select ‘Your cards’
- Choose your debit card
- Select ‘Card limits and controls’
- Scroll down to ‘In-store international spending’ and switch this category off. You can switch it back on again at any time.
