Foreign Transaction Fees for UnionPay Credit Cards

When traveling to Mainland China or overseas, many people prefer using UnionPay cards for spending.

While Visa and Mastercard typically charge a 1.95% foreign transaction fee, most UnionPay cards do not charge any foreign currency transaction fees, except those issued by Hang Seng Bank and HSBC, which may still impose such charges.

UnionPay Exchange Rate

UnionPay’s exchange rate is usually lower than Visa’s but higher than Mastercard’s. However, since UnionPay payments are exempt from foreign transaction fees, you should check your credit card’s handling fee and any foreign spending offers before making a payment to decide which card gives you better value.
