foreign currency surcharge

A fee that credit card companies charge to convert foreign currency into that of the homeland of the cardholder when purchases occur in another country. Typically, the surcharge is a set percentage of the purchase. Confusion sometimes occurs when this fee applies to purchases made on a cruise ship in foreign waters, even though the transactions occurred in the currency of cardholder's own country.
