No, that's not what I meant. I meant the fee or commission. Since I was talking about the Dutch card, the
Wisselkoers commissie.
For instance, looking back to a time I used the card overseas, on a AU$798 charge I see a €13,08 commission charge from Amex NL. Normally i use another Amex that doesn't have this fee, but on that occasion I didn't have it in my pocket.
