Credit cards with no foreign transaction fee

Full comparison

Most Canadian cards add a 2.5% fee to every purchase in a foreign currency. These 6 don’t.

Fees from each issuer’s published terms. Always confirm with the issuer before applying.

No black boxes. Every comparison shows its work.

We compare products on fees, rates, rewards and the fine print, and our methodology is public so you can check our math.

    Cash back, travel, building credit or growing savings: the right product depends on you.

  2. EXPERIMENT

    Measure every product

    We record each product’s fees and terms from the issuer’s own disclosures, then compare like with like.

  3. RESULT

    Show the work

    Every comparison shows the numbers behind it, and we update them when an issuer changes its terms.
