Foreign transaction fees are additional charges that credit card companies add when you use your card to make purchases in a currency other than your own or from a store located outside your home country. For example, if you are in the UAE and use your card to buy something in US dollars or from an online store based in Europe, your card issuer might charge you extra for processing that transaction. These fees usually consist of two main parts: a fee for converting the foreign currency into your local currency (like AED) and a separate fee for handling the international transaction. Together, these costs can make your purchases more expensive than you might expect.
This is charged when you are converting the transaction amount from the foreign currency to AED (or your card’s billing currency).
This is levied for processing payments outside the UAE.
Together, these fees can add up to 3% or more of the transaction amount. For example, if you spend AED 10,000 abroad, you could end up paying an extra AED 300 in fees.
