Strategies to Avoid Unnecessary Transaction Fees
While some fees are inherent to international finance, you can avoid extra charges with these tips:
| Fee Type | What It Is | How to Avoid It |
|---|---|---|
| Third-Party Bank Fees | Charges from your card issuer for foreign transactions. | Use a payment method with low or no foreign transaction fees, such as a local currency account or a specific international-friendly card. |
| Poor Exchange Margins | Hidden costs in unfavorable exchange rates. | Always choose to pay in the seller's currency |
| Multiple Conversions | Converting money back and forth between currencies. | If you frequently sell and buy, consider maintaining a balance in a major currency (like USD or EUR) to reduce repeated conversion needs. |
