Currency conversion


Every UBS card uses a certain currency – for example, most UBS cards issued in Switzerland use Swiss francs. When you use your card to make a payment in a different currency, for example when you are shopping in another country, you will be asked to choose between your card’s currency or the local currency. Then the payment will be converted at the exchange rate offered at the time of payment. This exchange rate will include a surcharge.
