Did Visa/MC Increase Foreign Currency Conversion Fee?

I checked with my credit card banks today to see what the fee is for foreign currency conversion. Was told by both Chase and Citibank that both MC and VISA charge a 2% fee, and the bank also charges 1%. I could have swore that this used to be 1% by Visa/MC and 1% (or 0%) by the bank. Was this changed recently, or were the service reps misinformed?
