Bank fees

[PLUSH]

Do all banks charge currency conversion fees? I've been charged $60 this last month.

Yes, and they vary depending on the bank. Some cards get double dinged, meaning Visa charges a fee for conversion as well as the bank that supports the card. (I.E. Visa charges 3% and Chase charges 2%. This is just an example, don't know exact numbers off the top of my head). Used to work for AMEX and had to answer this question all of the time.

Capital One does not charge currency conversion fees on their credit cards.

I used to travel internationally a lot. (I've visited 26 countries.) Amex always provided the best conversion rates, though that may have changed in the last 10 years.

They all charge something. Even the ones that don't charge a stated percentage take their fees in the currency conversion. Unfortunately, they don't work for free.
