At the same time, the Bank of China Great Wall Zhuojun Study Abroad Series credit cards are EMV standard chip cards, making overseas payments more secure.

Different card organizations have different coverage of merchants in different regions, so it is recommended to carry cards from two different card organizations when traveling abroad. It is recommended to bring a UnionPay brand card and a card from a foreign card organization (such as Visa , Mastercard, etc.).

Due to the different standards of overseas POS acceptance terminals, overseas card use operations will be different, which are mainly divided into those that do not support passwords, those that support six-digit passwords, and those that support four-digit passwords. If the wrong password is entered six times in a row, the card will be locked and you need to call the Bank of China credit card customer service hotline 4006695566 to unlock it. In order to avoid temporarily having no card available overseas, it is recommended to have an extra backup card.
