Paul Fees using your debit card abroad Your transaction is converted into sterling at the exchange rate based on market or government-set rates. For card transactions, this will be the rate on the date the amount is debited to your account. A 2.75% charge for Barclays handling costs and any VISA processing fees are included in the sterling conversion on your statement. There is an additional 1.5% fee (min £1.50 max £4.50) if you use your Barclays debit cards in the UK to obtain cash, currency or travellers cheques anywhere other than a cash machine or Barclays branch. This fee is also payable on all foreign transactions via a cash machine or in a bank except Barclays cash machines or those within the Global Alliance. (i.e. Westpac in Oz) If you use a cash machine outside the Global Alliance, you may also incur an additional service charge on top.
