What happens if I buy at a website that quotes prices in a different currency?
First of all, determine whether the merchant will deliver the merchandise to customers residing in other countries. If this is the case, making a purchase in another currency does not pose a problem. Visa will automatically convert the purchase amount to the currency of your monthly statement, using competitive exchange rates. To estimate the exchange rate, see the Finance section in your local newspaper or get the information from an online resource. Bear in mind this is only an estimate, and the actual exchange rate you receive may be different, since currency exchange rates may fluctuate on a daily basis.
