O2 has launched a
new service called Travel Alerts, which will allow the mobile operator
to alert your credit card issuer or bank if you're smartphone is
currently roaming abroad. This will then allow you to use your cards
while away without fear of having them decline because your provider
believes it to be a fraudulent transaction. Initially, O2 will be
partnering with UK credit card issuer MBNA.
This service will save the customer some time from setting their
account to away through online banking or having to call a center to
explain the dates you will be travelling abroad. Simply head out with
your smartphone and everything will be handled automatically by O2 and
supported partners, should you opt-in for Travel Alerts. If your
provider or bank spots a transaction from a different country to where
your mobile is located, it will then flag it for review.
It's a neat new service we're sure many will appreciate if they're
with MBNA. Hopefully, we'll see O2 expand Travel Alerts to include other
providers and banks as the year progresses. Just make sure you don't
forget to take your smartphone with you before you frantically rush to
the airport.
