Ask a question
Do the Credit Union charge overseas transaction fees on either the credit or debit card?
Hi Marianne,
The People’s Choice Credit Union Visa Credit Card has a currency conversion fee of 3%.
I tried searching their website for the PDS related to their debit card but it’s not currently available on their site, so I can’t confirm the fee on their debit card. However as a guide, most Visa debit cards have a fee of 3%.
If you’d like to find a card that doesn’t charge overseas transaction or foreign exchange fees, you can search some credit card options here and debit card options here.
Hope this helps!
