| Credit card refusals in the UK and Europe |
 |
| Some New Zealand credit cardholders have had their credit card refused overseas because |
 |
 |
the credit card has a magnetic strip, and/or |
|
 |
the credit card is verified by signature |
|
 |
| Your credit card should not be refused for either of these reasons. |
 |
| The UK and Europe use new ‘chip and PIN’ credit cards, however |
|
 |
 |
internationally-issued credit cards using a PIN and/or signature should still be accepted |
|
 |
the standard credit card payment process still apply |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
ask the merchant to call their local Visa or MasterCard® or American Express® office |
|
 |
 |
call us on +64 9 914 8026 to advise us of the incident and provide merchant location details (international toll charges apply) |
