What exchange rates will apply when I make card payments in a foreign currency?

When you make card payments in a foreign currency, Mastercard's exchange rate will apply. 

Mastercard sets their own, daily exchange rate, which may differ from the European Central Bank’s.

You can use Mastercard’s Currency Conversion Calculator to work out the daily rate for a transaction. This rate is applied at the moment the payment clears, so it may differ from what you see before you authorise the transaction. 

To view the final exchange rate in the app, go to ‘Payments’ > ‘Transactions’ > ‘View more’ and select the transaction.
