Already done. Thank god, I went to my current bank to put in a travel advisory and they told me "Sorry, colombia is on a banned list, your card will not work there". I read online it will still work but pretty risky to rely on it.
I have used my Schwab ATM card all over the world for the last 5 years (including Colombia) and I have never been locked out or had any other issues.
I do always submit a travel notification on their webpage before I go.
I've never had a problem with the card in Colombia.
