If you are a Bank of America customer in Phoenix, AZ trying to figure out what you are actually paying every month, this page lays out BoA's published fee schedule, the realistic waiver paths, and the public regulator record on BoA fee practices. Cited at the source — verify before you act.

International card fees

Bank of America business debit cards typically carry a ~3% foreign transaction fee on international purchases. For a AZ 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.
