Fort Worth BoA international card fees: schedule + waiver paths

By Pablo Diaz · I left BoA after years as a customer. Read the full story →

BoA publishes most fees. The CFPB has documented how some of them have been applied historically. Both inform the decision a Fort Worth customer makes about whether to stay or move. Sources cited at the source.

International card fees

Bank of America business debit cards typically carry a ~3% foreign transaction fee on international purchases. For a TX business with international vendors, software subscriptions billed from outside the US, or international travel, this fee compounds quickly. Mercury and RHO debit cards have lower or zero foreign transaction fee structures depending on tier. Verify the specific card terms on BoA's published schedule before relying on the percentage above.
