Causas Identificadas

Bank's Exchange Rate Markup

90%

Credit card companies often use their own internal exchange rates, which may include a markup or spread above the wholesale market rate to account for their costs and profit.

Timing Difference in Exchange Rates

70%

The market exchange rate you are comparing against might be from a different day or time than when your bank processed the transaction, leading to a perceived discrepancy.

Foreign Transaction Fees

60%

In addition to the exchange rate, your credit card may have charged a separate foreign transaction fee, which can add to the total cost and make the effective rate seem worse.

Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC)

50%

If you were offered the option to pay in your home currency at the point of sale, the merchant's system may have applied a less favorable exchange rate than your bank would have.
