I've been all over the world over the past 15 or so years with credit/debit cards from various Norwegian and Swedish banks. Not once I have ever notified my bank about anything (in fact it was only a few of years ago that I even knew that that was a thing), and not once has there been any problems. I wonder why there are such different standards?

I assume it's much more common to use Swedish cards abroad than it's to use US cards abroad.
