Before leaving for Bali last Oct. I phoned Westpac & asked about security for my Visa card, they were very helpful taking down lots of details, ie where I was going & what dates. Then they gave me an Access code, a reverse charge number & security number. I said I would only use my card in emergencies & for duty free purchases on my return date & they recorded all that information, I assume that if my card was somehow copied or used in contrary to my information the bank would freeze it immediately. Thought that was pretty good.
