NatWest - Internet Banking overseas card use feature

I thought I'd post this as I never realised it before. It's possibly new?

When logged into internet banking, you can now update NatWest where/when you'll be overseas. There's a link to the right once you've logged in.

Hopefully this prevents the fraud system from blocking the card, as NatWest have nearly always blocked my card when abroad.

(I know other banks have had this feature for a while). ;)

    If they are seeing fraud in that country. Even if they know you are there. Then they will still block the card.
