What are the fees and charges for international transactions with Commonwealth Bank?
Commonwealth Bank has a range of fees and charges that may apply to international transactions. Generally, when making an international transaction, customers should be aware that fees may include a foreign transaction fee, which is typically a percentage of the transaction amount. This fee is applied when purchasing goods or services in a foreign currency or converting currency while using the CommBank debit or credit card.
In addition to the foreign transaction fee, there may also be currency conversion charges. These charges are associated with converting the transaction amount into Australian dollars when it is processed. The exchange rate that applies may be different from the mid-market rate and can include additional margins.
There are specific fees for using ATMs overseas, as well. When withdrawing cash from an international ATM, customers can expect an additional fee for the withdrawal, as well as the aforementioned currency conversion charges.
It is essential for customers to review the terms and conditions applicable to their specific accounts or cards. For comprehensive information on fees and charges regarding international transactions, customers may wish to visit the current page of the Commonwealth Bank's official website for the most accurate and up-to-date details.
