Key Information:

  • All foreign exchange rates in the above table are updated twice daily, on any business day

  • In addition to the fees above, account transaction fees may also apply

  • When you use your Debit card to pay for something that is not in sterling, Visa will convert that payment to sterling using the exchange rate that applies on the day the transaction hits your account, which may not be the day of the transaction itself. Please note that this amount may be more or less than the amount stated at the time the transaction was initiated
