My bank, Westpac, calls me up every time I make an online payment with my VISA card or when my card is used at point of sale or at an ATM in a country I haven't notified them that I'm visiting.

My bank will let through thousands of dollars in ATM withdrawals in a country I've never been too. Then lock my card up when I'm trying to buy $12 of groceries in my hometown and force me to call and wait on hold to get it unlocked.

similar here - from US, had a few trips to russia and china over a few years. never told the bank. went over there, used my cards, no issues, ever.
came back home. no issues.
bought $12 from a merchant in sweden - a merchant I'd purchased the exact service from multiple times before - entire account locked for 'fraudulent activity'. Checks bounced, payments blocked, etc. Annoying as shit. Took a couple days to sort out (happened on a friday afternoon, of course). They refunded all charges, but... damn. I think things are better now (this was... 2014 IIRC).
