If your Maestro card is not working abroad, it may be because the geo-blocking function has been activated for the zone where you currently are.
Crédit Agricole next bank has developed a system which prevents the use of Maestro cards in countries that lack sufficient safeguards for withdrawals and purchases to be made securely. This helps to reduce the risk of fraudulent transactions.
See geo-blocking zones
There are three ways to activate or deactivate geo-blocking:
online: you can change the settings manually in your e-banking account in the ‘Cards’ section.
by telephone: you can contact your local branch to have zones activated/deactivated either permanently or for a limited period (during holidays, business trips, etc.).
in a branch: by visiting your local branch and/or when you have an appointment with your advisor.
If, even after geo-blocking has been deactivated, your card is still not working, please contact our helpline.
