Making purchases in a foreign currency

When you use your card to make a purchase in a foreign currency or withdraw cash using a foreign cash machine, the transaction amount will be changed to pounds sterling on the date we take it out of your account. This may not be the same date as the transaction is carried out. We will select the appropriate exchange rate which will always be reasonable one, then include a conversion fee of 2.75% of the total amount of the transaction. We also deduct a service charge of £1.50 out of your account immediately for each transaction.
