    • When withdrawing currency from ATMs abroad, in many places you can choose with your PostFinance Card whether to have the withdrawal charged in the relevant local currency or in Swiss Francs. We advise you to always have the withdrawal charged in the local currency. When conversions are made abroad, it is often not apparent which rate is being applied and which fees are being charged. You have greater transparency when the conversion is made on your account statement.
