    Hey I've recently ordered some stuff on Online, which I do quite a lot. But this time I've noticed POS chg usd showing up in my account around five times. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be getting these fees as I'm on a student account. Any idea why I got them?

    If you're ordering online in US Dollars that's the reason for the charge. It's a currency conversation fee.

    Hi Cormaccrook,

    Thanks for getting in touch. 

    As Edups has correctly mentioned, this is the cross border handling charge for making a non-euro purchase using your Visa Debit card. 

    For a full list of charges please see page 13 of our fees and charges brochure here

    Thanks,

    Sharon
