What is a Foreign Transaction Fee or International Transaction Fee?

If you see an extra charge on you credit card statement called a Foreign Transaction Fee or International Transaction Fee, it refers to a fee that is charged by your credit card issuing bank, based on the terms in your credit card agreement. This fee is not charged by SilkStart and we cannot refund it.

The most common reason international transaction fees are charged is because you are transacting with a vendor located outside of your country. However, some credit cards issuers also charge the fee for transactions in a foreign currency.

For more information about international transaction fees and how they apply to you, please review your credit card terms or talk to your credit card-issuing bank.
