Hi,

I purchased 2 items from Amazon (seperate sellers) so 2 line items on my bank statement. I used a BofI debit card. However, on my statement, in addition to the euro converted amount for the items purchased , there are 2 other charges:
POS Chg GBP 7 = Eur0.46
POS Chg GBP 8 = Eur0.46

Does anyone know are these BofI charges or Amazon charges? I have never seen them before. I could call my bank, but if I call my local branch I am redirected to some main number & it takes ages to get through. Are the bank charging 46c anytime your card is used to purchase an item for foreign currency? - I have never heard of that.
