There is a 2.5% fee for any foreign currency amount charged to your account and converted into Canadian dollars. Here’s how it’s calculated:
Consult the Visa currency converter - External link. This link will open in a new window..
The resulting exchange rate will include the conversion fee. Do the opposite calculation to find out how many Canadian dollars you paid for a purchase in a foreign currency.
To get the exchange rate without the conversion fees, enter 0 in the Enter Bank Fee field.
The 2.5% conversion fee also applies to cash advances. Interest charges are calculated from the transaction date until the cash advance is fully repaid.
Use the Visa ATM Locator.
