What Are Foreign Transaction Fees

Use this information to understand when fees apply and how they appear on your billing.

Emburse Cards has no fees for purchases made in the currency listed in your Emburse Cards account. Transaction fees are charged by our processor, Stripe, on foreign currency transactions. Your organization is billed one lump-sum fee for all foreign transactions during the billing period.

Within your foreign transaction report, you may see two fee types:

  • XB Fee: The cross-border fee applied when a transaction is processed with a merchant located in a different country than the original country of your card.

  • FX Fee: The foreign transaction fee applied when a transaction is conducted in a currency that differs from your card's original currency.

One transaction can include both an FX fee and an XB fee.

For additional details, see International Card Use.
