You mean ... someone could steal your debit number and clear out your account? Wouldn't they need your pin #... or could they pick that up too somehow ? Seems like it would be pretty safe if you just used it at ATM's for cash withdrawals/ currency conversion?

What debit card risk are you referring to? If you lose it/ have it stolen?

Use CREDIT CARDS, never DEBIT CARDS for travel. The bank will take all
of the risk, instead of you.

Traveller's Checques are indeed passé.  It's hard to find a place to
cash them, and the hotels take like 5% for the pleasure.

ATM cards are much easier.  Travelled all over the UK last year, and
every grocery store had ATMs I could use.

It has been a while, but I use to get Traveller's Checks in Euros
