Travel notices for Ramp cards

Overview

Ramp cards do not require a travel notice. Your card works in most countries without any advance notification to Ramp.

Ramp does not have a travel notification feature and none is needed. You can use your Ramp card internationally without contacting Ramp or changing any settings before you travel.

How international transactions work

Ramp uses real-time fraud monitoring instead of travel notices. If a transaction is flagged as potentially fraudulent, Ramp temporarily locks the card and sends an SMS to the phone number linked to your account. You can clear the fraud flag by replying "Yes" to the SMS or by signing in to your Ramp account and manually unlocking your card. Once unlocked, retry the purchase.

Some international transactions may still be declined because the transaction country is restricted by the card network or issuer. If that happens, you may see a decline reason such as Blocked country or Transaction country not supported, or an SMS that says the transaction took place in a flagged country. A travel notice cannot override those restrictions.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if my card is declined while traveling?

If the decline was caused by a fraud flag, you can clear it by replying "Yes" to the SMS from Ramp or by signing in to your Ramp account and manually unlocking your card. Once unlocked, retry the transaction. If the decline was for a different reason, see Transaction declines for troubleshooting steps.

Will I be charged fees for international transactions?

International transactions that clear in a currency other than USD may be subject to a currency conversion markup. See Foreign transaction fees for details.
