I use visa debit card.

I used to have a visa pay as you go credit card when I first started buying it as I was unsure of how safe it was. You just buy it and top it up with however much your meds cost (plus the currency exchange fees) then use it like you would any other card. It means theres no money or credit sitting that could be lost by fraud. I used to put my order in, see how much it came to then transfer the amount I needed on a separate window then switch back to finish off the transaction. might be worth looking into as an option if you dont want a new bank acount

Google it, there are several different ones, just make sure you get one you can use overseas. Mine was a virgin one, but I think they sold off their banking services recently

They still take Visa, and some have international bank accounts so you can do a direct transfer.

It depends upon which online pharmacy you are using?

One of them will tell you to order as normal and then will email you how to pay them (trusted pharmacy)

I have just ordered some Westhroid Pure from America and my mastercard went through no problem. My order has been shipped 6 days ago (checked with usps), but has yet, no money has been taken from my credit card, nor has the card company contacted me to say there is a problem.

I ordered Armour from America using MasterCard.....no problem. 10 day delivery arrived at post office today.
