Know about DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion)
There may be costs/charges associated with currency conversion levied by the third party on the Dynamic Currency Conversion (‘DCC’) transaction. DCC is permitted in all acceptance environments where the customer can make a currency choice for their payment e.g. Point of Sale (POS), online and ATM. Please apprise yourself and ascertain such costs/charges before providing confirmation for a DCC transaction. ICICI Bank declares that it does not derive any direct or indirect benefit (save and except for charges for currency conversion from billing currency to active wallet currency). As DCC transaction request is initiated by the customer post customer’s confirmation, ICICI Bank disclaims any liability for the refund of any DCC transaction related charges.
Here's how you can make a smart choice and avoid the extra charges:
How to Avoid Extra Charges
At the payment counter, the executive will offer you two choices to pay:
To pay in local currency
To pay in home/billing currency.
To save on your DCC charges, choose ‘To pay in local currency’.
If you choose to withdraw cash from an ATM through your Forex Prepaid Card, you will come across these options:
Case 1:
Accept without currency conversion
Accept with currency conversion.
To save on your DCC charges, choose 'Accept without currency conversion’.
Conversion to home/billing currency
Case 2:
Yes
No
To save on your DCC charges, choose 'No'
While both means serve your purpose, you might want to avoid the long ATM queues on your trip. So, swipe directly at merchant outlets and save on the go.
