Assumptions, sources and dates

Each figure except JetSet’s own fee is an assumption you can change. The label says what kind of figure it is; the sources say where it comes from and when it was last checked.

Sources

  1. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Regulation Z commentary (comment 4(a)-4.ii.B) (opens in a new tab). An example of a 1 percent network charge and a 2 percent issuer charge, “for a total of a 3 percentage point foreign transaction fee”. last checked 20 Sept 2026.
