Are there any fees associated with using my debit card abroad?

Asked a year ago
Yes, there may be fees associated with using your debit card abroad. When you use your debit card for purchases or withdrawals in a foreign country, your bank may charge you an international transaction fee. This fee is typically a percentage of the total transaction amount. Additionally, some foreign ATMs may charge you a surcharge fee for using their machines. It is recommended to check with your bank or financial institution prior to traveling to understand the specific fees and charges that may apply. Real People Finance aims to provide transparent information and encourage you to be aware of any applicable fees to effectively manage your finances while traveling abroad.
