Hi Barry, Basically it's a simple as this. For domestic transactions, they charge you 3.4%, they charge you 3.9% of the transaction value. For most International charges, they charge you 3.9% of the transaction value. As for Exchange Rates between say Dollars are Pounds, this is a moveable feats, and depends on the exchange rate on the day of the transaction. No bank, however large or small, will give you a fixed rate for any unspecified transaction. Best you can do is work to the tourist exchange rate on the day. It will be a close as you can get.
