International transactions

Updated yesterday

Atlas now supports international transactions — but the feature is rolling out gradually.

How to enable international transactions

  1. Check Availability
    Go to Settings > Security Center > International Transactions

    • If you see it: you’re eligible

    • If not: it’s coming soon!

  2. Turn It On
    Choose how many days to enable international transactions.

  3. Enable Location Sharing
    Location sharing must be turned on — otherwise, your transaction will be declined.

  4. Make your international transaction
    Use your Atlas physical, metal, or virtual card to make a purchase.

What to expect

  • Your first attempt may be declined by our fraud monitoring system—this is part of keeping your account safe.

  • You’ll get a prompt in the app to review the charge.

  • Once you confirm it was you, try again—and it should go through!
