When withdrawing cash or making a card payment abroad (also online), you can use the Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) service offered by selected merchants and ATMs. This service allows you to pay using the currency of your country instead of the local currency (for Citi Handlowy cards the currency of your country is PLN).
This means that upon maing the payment you are informed of the transaction amount in PLN and of the local currency exchange rate. Please note that using the DCC service may be unfavorable to a Citi Handlowy client (debit card holder) in the event when as part of the DCC service the transaction will be made using the PLN card linked to your foreign currency account (the so called double currency conversion). The transaction amount will be first converted to PLN using the settling agent’s (DCC) foreign currency exchange rate and then it will be converted from PLN to the currency of the account to which your debit card was linked upon making the transaction (using the exchange rate stated in the latest Citi Handlowy Table of Foreign Currency Exchange Rates as of the day of clearing the transaction).
DCC is not offered by Citi Handlowy and is optional.
Important! The amount of authorized transaction may differ from the amount of transaction and from the amount posted on your account.
