Are there any foreign transaction fees when using American Express cards in Australia?

Asked 2 years ago
American Express Australia typically does not impose foreign transaction fees on most of its cards when transactions are made in a foreign currency. This means that cardholders may enjoy the benefit of using their Amex card internationally without incurring additional fees for currency conversion. However, it is essential for customers to review the specific terms and conditions associated with their individual card, as there may be exceptions based on the card type or account agreement. Additionally, American Express may apply a currency conversion rate to transactions made in foreign currencies, so cardholders should be aware that the exchange rate used may differ from the official market rate. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding fees, terms, and conditions, individuals are encouraged to visit the American Express Australia website, where they can find detailed information related to their specific cardholder agreements.
