You can use your card anywhere Mastercard is accepted. If you’re planning a trip, you don’t need to notify Neo that you’re travelling. However, there are a few countries where your transactions won’t go through.
Travel notice for your card
You don’t need to tell us if you’re planning to use your card outside of Canada. Your card will work anywhere that Mastercard is accepted, with the exception of a few countries where transactions are blocked.
If there’s suspicious activity on your card, we’ll send you an email and you can unfreeze your card.
