Important information about different transactions
A foreign exchange margin applies to the transaction amount if the Card is used for withdrawals in any currency other than a currency available on the Card. The applicable margin applied to the converted currency transaction amount is 5.95%.
Example of foreign exchange margin for a Card loaded with AU$ only
Suppose you make a withdrawal from an ATM outside Australia (in Brazil) for Brazilian Real BRL50.00 and the prevailing exchange rate, set by MasterCard, is BRL1.00 = AU$1.34. Before the foreign exchange margin applies, this would equate to AU$67.00 (BRL50.00 x 1.34). After the foreign exchange margin of AU$3.99 is applied (AU$67.00 x 5.95%), this would equate to AU$70.99 (AU$67.00 + AU$3.99).
Where you do not have a balance in the currency of the transaction, your Card Fund will be debited according to the default order of priority, which is as follows: AU$, US$, EU€, GB£, NZ$, CA$ HK$, JPY SG$. In addition, we will debit the balance of each Currency in this order until the relevant transaction amount has been satisfied.
