The Synovus Connections debit Visa can be used abroad. Since the card is part of the Visa network, you can use it wherever Visa payments are accepted. As long as you have adequate funds available, you can use your card to make transactions almost anywhere in the world. With this in mind, you should know that the Synovus Connections Prepaid card is not ideal for traveling abroad. You will be charged a foreign transaction fee, you will incur a fee any time you use a foreign ATM to make withdrawals, and the currency conversion rates will not be in your favor. It’s best to use a no foreign transaction credit card when traveling abroad.
