-====== Banks That Offer Both Debit and Credit Cards with No International Transaction Fees ====== +https://www.marketforces.org.au/info/compare-bank-table/
-**For those people that like to have all their banking under the one roof see the banks listed belowYou can reference the tables above for more information**+
  
-====Commonwealth Bank==== +====== VISA & Mastercard ====== 
-Please note that Commonwealth Bank will waive the annual fees on most (not all) of their credit cards if you have a mortgage with them under one of their 'Wealth Package' mortgagesThey are also waived if you meet the minimum spend requirements through the card each month/year. Commbank also have share trading available through Commsecso for those of you that also want to manage your investments through the same bank this is something to consider.+VISA and Mastercard are the payment networks which allows banks to process credit and debit cards transactionsSo 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.
  
-^ Credit/Debit ^ Product Name ^ Notes ^ +Mastercard is more popular in Australia due to it's discountsspecials and rewardshowever VISA is the largest payment network globally.
-| Debit Card | World Debit Card | **PRODUCT BEING TRIALED, INVITE ONLY** | +

-| Credit Card | Ultimate Awards Mastercard | $0 if you spend $2500 per statement periodotherwise $35 monthly |+
  
-====HSBC==== +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. 
-HSBC Everyday Global has 2% cash back on payments under $100To get this you need to deposit $2000 per month.+===== 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.

 +===== VISA ===== 
 +VISA's exchange rates in USD generally match Mastercard's rate.

 + 
 +====== Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) ====== 
 + 
 +If you have a card with no international transaction fee's, it's advisable to avoid using DCC if it's offered to you. 
 + 
 +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. 
 + 
 +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. 
 + 
 +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.
