can I use my apple card when I travel abroad?

Is there a requirement to notify apple card services when I intend on traveling abroad and using the card overseas?

It’s not required, but some cardholders have reported it useful. When I travel abroad I generally make several small purchases before a large purchase.


If a purchase is declined, I get a text almost immediately and it’s Apple Card, asking if it was me and to attempt again. It’s all pretty seamless if you’ve got texting/data setup for international use.


Safe travels!

Thank you...that helps. not required.

Yes, even here in the states, I've gotten the text you mentioned asking me to confirm a purchase.

I anticipate getting that when I travel abroad. I'll just need to insure my iPhone is wifi accessible at that moment so I can reply promptly.
