Bank says, "VISA fee of 0.8% on foreign single currency transactions"
Just received my checking account statement, and a notice from my bank saying:
VISA has instituted a new fee when you use your VISA card for international single currency transactions. This is an international transaction in which there is no currency conversion. Beginning June 1, 2008 this fee of .8% will be passed to cardholders and will be disclosed on your statements.
