When Matt Cooper lost his wallet while vacationing in Croatia, his first move was to notify his credit card issuers. But finding the right phone numbers took a couple of calls home and valuable time. In response, he created a website, www.cancelthatcard.com, that lists phone numbers in 59 countries for Visa, Discover and MasterCard. ``It's one-stop shopping for all of your cards,'' he said. ``It saves you lots of time.''

Cooper acknowledged that the individual card websites also list contact numbers for various countries, but his site, which launched recently, ``is very simple and bare-bones,'' making it easier to load onto a mobile device. ``You don't have to scroll through nine pages to get to the information,'' he said.

The 26-year-old said he plans to add numbers for other cards, including American Express, in coming weeks.
