Customers will be advised of the rate used for the conversion prior to completing the transaction and informed that the bank may earn revenue on the conversion. The currency in which the fees are charged will be the same as the currency of the account from which the money is transferred. Regular account transaction fees may also apply. While recipients will not incur any charges for receiving funds through Visa Direct, they should check with their own financial institutions for any costs associated with the use of their Visa cards. Some recipients may have Visa cards where there is one currency for international transactions and another for domestic transactions. Funds in this case are received in the international currency and then converted by the card issuing bank into the currency of the recipient’s card based on the applicable exchange rate.
