1. When the balance of current account is not sufficient to debit the returned cheque charge, unauthorized overdraft/ temporary overdraft O/D interest will be levied.

2. The Bank reserves the rights to impose other fees for deposit in respect of all or any part of the balance in the Account(s) on a case by case basis. For the avoidance of doubt, such other fees are (a) separate from the above monthly fee, (b) not limited to the currencies mentioned in the above table and (c) applicable irrespective of the threshold of the average monthly balance in the Account(s) set out in the above table.

3. Surcharges of overseas local banks may be levied (if applicable).

4. The foreign currency transaction amount will be converted into Hong Kong dollars by the exchange rate imposed by JETCO on the transaction date and deducted from your Hong Kong dollar accounts.

5. Please take notice that any withdrawal of one of the major currencies through ATMs will be debited from your respective MTC account, given you have sufficient foreign currency and activate Foreign Currencies Direct Debit Setting. If you do not have sufficient foreign currency to complete the withdrawal or have not activated Foreign Currencies Direct Debit Setting, we will convert the entire foreign currency transaction amount into Hong Kong dollars and deducted from your Hong Kong dollar accounts according to our prevailing exchange rates. Major currencies include HKD, USD, CNY, GBP, JPY, AUD, NZD, CAD, EUR, CHF, SGD and THB.

6. If you withdraw non-major currencies through ATMs, we will convert the entire foreign currency transaction amount into Hong Kong dollars and deducted from your Hong Kong dollar accounts according to a rate determined by us with reference to the exchange rate adopted by MasterCard on the date of conversion.

7. Foreign currency transaction fee is incurred when a transaction is effected in currencies other than Hong Kong dollars. This fee is waived for BOC Mastercard® Debit Card.

8. If an ATM cash withdrawal outside Hong Kong is converted to Hong Kong dollars via Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC, which is a service provided by some ATM operators which allow customers to convert a transaction denominated in a foreign currency to Hong Kong dollars at an exchange rate determined by the relevant ATM operator or DCC service provider), the cash withdrawal amount will be converted to Hong Kong dollars using the prevailing exchange rate as determined by MasterCard or the relevant network and deducted from your Hong Kong dollar accounts.

9. You may sometimes be offered the option to settle foreign currency transactions in Hong Kong dollars at the point of sale outside Hong Kong. Such option is a direct arrangement offered by the overseas merchants and not the card issuer. In such cases, you are reminded to ask the merchants for the foreign currency exchange rates and the percentage of handling fees to be applied before the transactions are entered into since settling foreign currency transaction in Hong Kong dollars may involve a cost higher than the foreign currency transaction handling fee.

10. For transaction conducted via the “JETCO” network, if the transaction currency is Renminbi, the transaction amount is converted at the exchange rates set by the “JETCO” member bank which is displayed on the ATM screen at the time of the transaction.

11. For transaction conducted via the “CUP” network, if the transaction currency is Hong Kong dollars or Renminbi, the transaction amount is converted at the exchange rates set by BOCHK at the time of the transaction (exchange rate can be enquired via the website of BOCHK). If the transaction currency involves currency other than Hong Kong dollars or Renminbi, the transaction amount is converted directly at the daily exchange rates set by China UnionPay at the time of the transaction (Exchange rate can be enquired via the website of China UnionPay).

12. For transaction conducted via the “VISA/PLUS” network through bank account, the transaction amount withdrawn is converted into Hong Kong dollars at the daily exchange rates set by VISA at the time of the transaction plus 1.95% conversion charge (Exchange rate can be enquired via the website of VISA).

13. For transaction conducted via the “MasterCard/Cirrus” network through bank account, the transaction amount is first converted to US dollars, and then to Hong Kong dollars, at the daily exchange rates set by MasterCard at the time of the transaction plus 1% conversion charge (Exchange rate can be enquired via the website of MasterCard).

14. If Beneficiary Bank Charges are requested to be borne by remitter, the Bank is entitled to collect the charges plus extra handling charges of the Bank in advance. The chargeable amount is determined by the Bank with reference to the collection records of the related beneficiary bank without notice, and the collected amount is not refundable. But, if the actual claims exceeded the collected amount, the Bank is entitled to collect the shortfall.
