| - | ====== Cards with No Overseas Transaction Fees ====== | + | ====== Debit & Credit Cards with No International Fees ====== |
| - | There are very few cards on the market that have no overseas transaction fees. | + | This wiki breaks down all the credit and debit cards available in Australia that don't charge you international fees. |
| - | Most charge ~2-4% for any overseas transaction (even in AUD with overseas merchants), plus an additional $3-$6 per overseas ATM withdrawal. | + | |
| - | Who wants their hard earned money lost on such old fashioned fees? | + | |
| - | To keep up-to-date with these products go to [[http://www.canstar.com.au|Canstar.com.au]] | + | This wiki is contributed by the public, therefore its accuracy cannot be guaranteed. You need to perform your own checks on the specific banks websites by reading their up to date terms and conditions. |
| - | On the credit card search you will need to select their filter that shows cards with 0% currency conversion fee. | + | ====== Ethical Banking ====== |
| - | On the debit card search you will need to click the 'More Info' tab and sort cards that have a 0% currency conversion fee. | + | |
| - | ===== Banks that offer both Credit Cards and Debit Cards with no international fees ===== | + | See if the bank you choose invests its money in fossil fuels: |
| - | For those of you that are after having all your banking under the one roof, the following banks are the only ones that offer both debit cards and credit cards with no international fee's. | + | https://www.marketforces.org.au/info/compare-bank-table/ |
| - | You can read in more detail in the breakdowns below. | + | ====== VISA & Mastercard ====== |
| + | VISA and Mastercard are the payment networks which allows banks to process credit and debit cards transactions. So even though your bank will issue you the card itself (which is linked to a local bank account), Visa and Mastercard allow them to use their networks for the payments to happen. | ||
| - | ==== Commonwealth Bank ==== | + | Mastercard is more popular in Australia due to it's discounts, specials and rewards, however VISA is the largest payment network globally. |
| - | * [[https://www.commbank.com.au/banking/world-debit-mastercard.html|Commbank World Debit Card]] | + | It's advisable when travelling overseas that you have both a VISA and Mastercard issued credit or debit card on you, just incase a merchant doesn't accept either VISA or Mastercard. |
| - | * [[https://www.commbank.com.au/credit-cards/low-fee-gold.html?ei=lowfee_lfg_tellmemore|Commbank Low Fee Gold Mastercard]] | + | ===== Mastercard ===== |
| + | If you transact in a foreign currency that is not USD, Mastercard will first convert the amount to USD and then back into AUD. | ||
| - | For those of you that have shares, Commbank also has Commsec to manage your share portfolio. | + | Mastercard Exchange Rate: |
| + | https://www.mastercard.us/en-us/personal/get-support/convert-currency.html | ||
| + | ===== VISA ===== | ||
| + | VISA's exchange rates in USD generally match Mastercard's rate. However on other currency they generally have a very slight advantage as they don't convert to USD and then to AUD like Mastercard does. | ||
| - | ==== ING Direct ==== | + | VISA Exchange Rate: |
| + | https://www.visa.com.au/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html | ||
| - | * [[https://www.ing.com.au/everyday-banking.html|ING Orange Everyday Debit Card]] | + | ====== Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) ====== |
| - | * [[https://www.ing.com.au/credit-cards/orange-one.html|ING Orange One Mastercard]] | + | |
| - | * [[https://www.ing.com.au/credit-cards/orange-one-platinum.html|ING Orange One Platinum Mastercard]] | + | |
| - | ==== Macquarie Bank ==== | + | If you have a card with no international transaction fee's, it's advisable to avoid using DCC if it's offered to you. |
| - | * [[https://www.macquarie.com/au/personal/bank-accounts/transaction|Macquarie Debit Card]] | + | DCC is sold as a service for travelers because you don’t need to understand the exchange rate to know what a transaction is costing you. However, it comes with the risk of hidden fees and a poor exchange rate. |
| - | * [[https://www.macquarie.com/au/personal/bank-accounts/transaction/platinum|Macquarie Platinum Debit Card]] | + | |
| - | * [[https://www.macquarie.com/au/personal/credit-cards/compare-credit-cards|Macquarie Rate Saver Visa]] | + | |
| - | * [[https://www.macquarie.com/au/personal/credit-cards/compare-credit-cards|Macquarie Platinum Visa]] | + | |
| - | * [[https://www.macquarie.com/au/personal/credit-cards/compare-credit-cards|Macquarie Black Visa]] | + | |
| - | For those of you that have shares, Macquarie also has Macquarie Online Trading to manage your share portfolio. | + | DCC occurs when you’re prompted if you like to be charged in the local currency or Australian Dollars (AUD). |
| + | The three places you will likely see DCC being used is via PayPal, foreign ATM's and foreign merchant terminals. However, you may find this prompt in other places while travelling overseas. | ||
| - | ===== Debit Cards (Alphabetical Order) ===== | + | If you have a card with no international transaction fee's, you will likely always be ahead if you select 'pay in local currency' which will process the payment via VISA or Mastercard's exchange rate. This is typically better than the rate an overseas ATM or merchant will give you via their DCC offering. |
| - | ==== Citibank Plus ==== | + | ====== Credit Cards - difference between joint accounts vs additional card holders ====== |
| - | The [[http://citibank.com.au/aus/banking/everyday_banking/citibank_plus.htm|Citibank Plus Debit Card]] has the following features: | + | A joint credit card is different to a credit card that has a nominated additional cardholder (or cardholders). |
| - | * No International Fees | + | A joint credit card is one that’s held in the name of two people. Both of these people will need to apply and be approved for it, and they will be jointly responsible for paying off any debts incurred. Each person will receive a credit card with a unique number. |
| - | * No currency conversion fees | + | |
| - | * No monthly fee's | + | |
| - | * No Overseas ATM fees. Customers may be charged by the third party provider | + | |
| - | * Apple Pay and Samsung Pay | + | |
| - | ==== Commonwealth Bank World Debit ==== | + | Additional cardholders also receive a physical credit card and are able to use it with few or no restrictions, but they do not carry any liability for the debt of the card. The primary cardholder is responsible for paying the debt (including any spending made by the additional cardholder). |
