Currency Conversion and International Transactions: When you use your Visa Travel Card at a merchant that settles in currency other than US dollars, the charge will be converted into the US dollar amount.  Visa USA charges us a .8% International Service Assessment (ISA Fee) on all international transactions, regardless of whether there is a currency conversion. If there is a currency conversion, the ISA is 1%.  In either case, we pass this ISA fee on to you.  An International Transaction is a transaction where the country of the merchant is outside the USA.

Due to security reasons transactions on the Visa Travel Card are not allowed in Belarus, Burma, Congo, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, Zimbabwe, Cote D’Ivoire and Western Balkans.
