Additional Charges for Transactions in a Foreign Currency and “Cross-Border” Transactions Clause Samples

Additional Charges for Transactions in a Foreign Currency and “Cross-Border” Transactions. Currency Conversion Fee: If you effect or authorize a transaction with your access device in a currency other than US Dollars, VISA® will convert the charge into a US Dollar amount. The VISA® currency conversion procedure includes use of either a government mandated exchange rate, or a wholesale exchange rate selected by VISA® as applicable. The exchange rate VISA® uses will be a rate in effect on the day the transaction is processed. This rate may differ from the rate in effect on the date of the purchase or the date the transaction was posted to your account. A Currency Conversion Fee of up to 1% will be applied to transactions that are converted from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars. Cross-Border Transaction Fee: In addition, VISA® charges us a Cross-Border Assessment up to 1% on each transaction on all cross border transactions regardless of whether there is a currency conversion. For purposes of this Section, “cross- border transaction” shall include both (a) transactions initiated in a foreign country which are subsequently settled in the United States, and (b) transactions initiated in the United States but which are ultimately settled in a country outside of the United States. The Credit Union will assess these fees to you to reimburse it for the fee it is required to pay for each of your transactions subject to these terms. The Cross-Border transaction fee will be shown separately on your periodic billing statement. The Currency Conversion Fee, if it applies to the transaction, will be included in the transaction amount posted on your statement.

  • Transactions Made in Foreign Currencies If a transaction is made in a foreign currency, we and Mastercard International or VISA International, depending on which card is used, will convert the transaction into a U.S. dollar amount. Mastercard and VISA will act in accordance with their operating regulations or conversion procedures in effect at the time the transaction is processed. Currently, their regulations and procedures provide that the currency conversion rate they use, to determine the transaction amount in U.S. dollar, is either (a) a wholesale market rate, or (b) a government-mandated rate in effect one day prior to the processing date. Mastercard and VISA increase this conversion rate by one percent (1%) and keep this increase as compensation for performing the currency conversion service. We will charge you two percent (2%) of the U.S. dollar amount of the transaction converted from a foreign currency.
