   4. Certain Merchants may charge an additional fee if the Card is used to purchase goods and/or services. The fee is determined and charged by the Merchant by including it in the Transaction amount and is not retained by us.
   5. Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) is a process whereby the amount of a transaction is converted by a merchant or ATM to the currency other than the country’s local currency. In this case, the merchant or ATM operator is applying a foreign exchange margin to the applicable conversion rate that would apply to convert the transaction currency into another currency. This may result in an increased cost to your transaction.
      
      For instance, you withdraw cash from an ATM that dispenses a currency other than that of the country where the ATM is located, the merchant or ATM operator may convert the cash being withdrawn into the domestic (local) currency before converting it back to the cash being dispensed. It might occur even though the cash being dispended is the same as that of one of your available Currency Wallets. Thus, amount debited or reflecting in your account statement may be higher than the amount which is dispensed by the ATM. Not every ATM operator informs of the exact amount to be debited to your Account before you withdraw cash from their ATM.
