From my "Visa(r) account agreement:" If you discover or suspect that the Card or any unused checks are lost or stolen, or that there may be an unauthorized transaction on your account, you will notify us promptly by telephoning x. You will phone, even though you may notify us in writing, so we can act fast [sic - it bothers me that the lawyers who write this can't speak English] to limit losses and liability. Your liability for unauthorized use occurring before you notify us is limited to $50. I was under the impression that this was required by law, and that this law also applies to ATM cards.
