We’re here with some fantastic news for all our globetrotting friends and those who frequently make international transactions. The Fidelity 2% Card just got a major upgrade – They’ve abolished the foreign transaction fee.
Yes, you’ve heard it right. Previously, the card had a 1% foreign transaction fee.
But starting September 1, 2023, any new transaction made using an eligible Fidelity® Visa Signature® Card account will no longer be charged these fees for international purchases. Isn’t that awesome?
Now, you can shop in Paris or Rome, or pay for your business expenses on an international trip, without the burden of that extra 1% fee sneaking onto your credit card statement.
This transformation is truly revolutionary, granting you greater freedom, flexibility, and savings.
