Frequently Asked Questions
What is a foreign transaction fee?
Many banks and credit card issuers charge a 1% to 3% foreign transaction markup fee on purchases made in currencies other than your home currency.
Should I choose local currency or home currency at foreign card readers?
Always choose to be charged in the local foreign currency! Choosing your home currency triggers Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), which often adds a 5% to 8% hidden bank markup.
