*Visa's Zero Liability policy covers Australian and New Zealand-issued cards and does not apply to ATM transactions, transactions not processed by Visa or certain commercial card transactions. Cardholders should notify their Issuer promptly of any unauthorised Visa use. Please consult your Issuer for additional details.
