Smart Tips to Avoid Unnecessary Fees

1. Opt for MuleBuy's Conversion

When prompted, choose "Pay in [Your Currency]." This locks in the total cost upfront with no hidden conversion fees from MuleBuy.

2. Beware of DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion)

If a foreign merchant offers to charge you in your home currency at their terminal, politely decline. This "DCC" service typically includes poor exchange rates and high fees.

3. Consider Multi-Currency Financial Tools

For frequent international shoppers, using a credit card or digital wallet with zero foreign transaction fees can be beneficial when paying in a seller's currency.

4. Check the Final Amount

Always review the final transaction summary before confirming. Ensure you understand the exchange rate applied and the total amount to be debited.
