How does the exchange rate work when using the Alpian card for purchases in foreign currencies?
When you use your Alpian Visa debit card to pay in a currency other than CHF, EUR, USD, or GBP, here's how it works:
Check balance: Alpian first checks if you have sufficient funds in the transaction currency.
Automatic exchange: If the funds are insufficient, the exchange will automatically be made from the currency with the highest balance in your account.
Visa Rate: The exchange rate applied to these transactions is the Visa rate, which is published on the Visa website and may vary daily.
Low fees: Alpian applies a minimal FX mark-up of 0.20% during business days and 0.50% over weekends.
This ensures transparency and cost-effectiveness, allowing you to pay in local currencies without hidden fees.
