Examples
Scenario 1
Customer A uses their KuCard for a purchase priced at 100 USD, which is billed in euros.
Assuming the Visa exchange rate is 1 EUR ≈ 1.095275 USD, the transaction is converted as:
Transaction Amount: 100 USD ÷ 1.095275 = 91.31 EUR
Foreign Exchange Fee: 91.31 EUR × 2% ≈ 1.826 EUR
Total Transaction Amount: 91.31 EUR + 1.826 EUR ≈ 93.136 EUR
In this case, 93.136 EUR or the equivalent in crypto assets will be debited from Customer A’s Funding Account.
Note that the authorized amount during payment may be slightly higher than the actual transaction amount. Rest assured, only the exact transaction amount will be deducted, and any surplus is returned to your Funding Account.
Scenario 2
Customer B makes a 100 EUR transaction but only holds USDT in their Funding Account.
Assuming KuCoin's sell rate is 1 USDT ≈ 0.93167 EUR, the total amount of cryptocurrency used for payment is calculated as:
Transaction Amount: 100 EUR ÷ 0.93167 = 107.33 USDT
Total Transaction Amount: 107.33 USDT
In this case, 107.33 USDT will be debited from Customer B's Funding Account.
