World Card
The following charges apply when you use your World Card:
1. If you hold a currency account that is supported by WorldFirst (supported currency) in your World Account, the funds will be debited from this account to process the card payment – and no fee will be charged for the card transaction.
2. For card payments made in a supported currency that you do not hold in your World Account, your default currency account (your AUD account) will be debited and WorldFirst will handle the currency conversion (at the agreed foreign exchange rate).
3. For card payments made in a currency that is not supported by WorldFirst, the currency conversion will be handled by Mastercard by converting the available funds in your default currency account to the transaction currency using an exchange rate determined by Mastercard. WorldFirst will apply an additional margin of up to 1.5% of the Mastercard rate used for the conversion.
For an estimate or indication of applicable Mastercard exchange rates please refer to Mastercard Currency Converter Calculator.
