When making a transaction abroad with a bank card on a real or a virtual POS device in a currency different from the card one, the sum of the transaction is converted to a sum of the settlement in the exchange rate, defined by the International card organisations, applied on the settlement day.
UniCredit Bulbank books the transaction to the customer’s account according to the official FX rate that the bank applies on the transaction accounting (it may be different from the day of the payment sending). The settlement currency is EUR.
UniCredit Bulbank doesn’t apply any additional commissions at the currency conversion on the transactions with bank cards.

How contactless payment works
If the terminal is marked with the typical symbol you can use your card to make contactless payments as follows:
- You see the amount on the display of the POS terminal.
- Place the card close to the POS terminal symbol.
- The terminal gives an audible and light signal, notifying that the transaction is completed.
For contactless payments abroad, the payment value below which no PIN is required varies and is determined by the bank servicing the terminal and the international card organisations (ICOs).
In Europe, for example, the average limit for a payment without entering a PIN is €50.
