Just call the customer service number on your card and ask them. usually , it will. They do like to know when you are traveling outside the country, so they don't think the card was stolen.

Visa Debit is a major debit card issued by Visa in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Prior to October 2004 the debit card was known as Visa Delta. As of June 2009, all of the major banks in the UK are either issuing Visa Debit or will be in due course - Barclays, Abbey, Halifax/Bank of Scotland and Lloyds TSB already issued the card, with HSBC having started migrating to it in early 2009 and RBS and NatWest due to adopt it in the latter part of the year. The scheme is also used by many smaller banks and building societies (some of whom had also previously been Switch issuers) including the Co-operative Bank, First Trust Bank, Alliance & Leicester, Northern Rock, Reliance Bank, Nationwide and Coventry Building Society. A debit card (also known as a bank card or check card) is a plastic card which provides an alternative payment method to cash when making purchases. Functionally, it can be called an electronic check, as the funds are withdrawn directly from either the bank account, or from the remaining balance on the card. In some cases, the cards are designed exclusively for use on the Internet, and so there is no physical card. The use of debit cards has become widespread in many countries and has overtaken the check, and in some instances cash transactions by volume. Like credit cards, debit cards are used widely for telephone and Internet purchases, and unlike credit cards the funds are transferred from the bearer's bank account instead of having the bearer to pay back on a later date. Debit cards can also allow for instant withdrawal of cash, acting as the ATM card for withdrawing cash and as a cheque guarantee card. Merchants can also offer "cashback"/"cashout" facilities to customers, where a customer can withdraw cash along with their purchase.

it should work! You'll just have to let the Visa company know that you are planning to use your visa in a foreign place..it should be fine other wise!

They should. But you will be charged not only a atm fee but an international fee when you withdraw money. Make sure you call your credit card company and let them know when you will be there and for how long. That way they will not put a hold on your card because they think it is stolen.

Someone asks this question about once a week. Yes your card will work in Israel. Call your bank and the credit card company to let them know of your plans first that way when they see charges in a foreign country they will not put a freeze on your card.
