Is this something posted to all accounts?
(I have never used the card at an ATM or for cash advance, nor have I ever been to Jamaica, Vietnam, or the Dominican Republic!)

And what kind of security reason permits a financial institution to restrict people's access to their own money at an ATM?!
It sounds like the restriction for ATM or cash advances only applies to use in Jamaica, Vietnam, and the Dominican Republic. If you don't visit any of those countries, then you won't be affected.
