Frequently Asked Questions

What is the currency conversion fee for using my card overseas?

When you spend on your Heritage Visa Debit or Credit Card overseas, or online, in a currency that is not Australian Dollars (AUD), your purchase will need to be converted into AUD. To enable this conversion, you will pay an overseas currency conversion fee which is a percentage of your transaction.

If you withdraw money overseas you will also pay an overseas ATM or counter withdrawal fee. Some ATM operators may also charge their own fees. You should check the prompts on the ATM screen that will indicate if a fee is going to be charged.

The currency exchange rate you receive will be calculated at the time of your purchase or cash advance. You can use the Visa exchange rate calculator for an estimate of the rate you may receive.
