Quick Math That’ll Change How You Travel

Budgeting is always one of the most important things to do before traveling.

Let's do some calculations that might shock you. Say you spend $7,500 on a European vacation – restaurants, shopping, hotels, excursions, the works. With a typical Canadian credit card often charging about 2.5% in foreign transaction fees, you could be paying as much as $187.50 just in fees.

That's a nice family dinner, group activity or souvenirs for everyone you could have paid for instead.

Here's what really gets me: An EQ Bank study shows 76%* of Canadians feel saving on foreign exchange fees matters to them, yet half of us still use our regular credit cards abroad. In other words, a lot of Canadians are missing out on easy savings when they travel.

The EQ Bank Card, a prepaid reloadable Mastercard built for the savvy traveller, solves this completely:

• EQ Bank does not charge additional foreign exchange fees on your transactions

• You get Mastercard's exchange rate, period

• No extra international ATM withdrawal fees from EQ Bank's end

• No hidden costs

Whether you're in Mexico, Spain, or any of the 150+ countries it's accepted in, you're spending what locals spend – not tourist prices plus fees.

Stop paying extra to enjoy your vacation. Keep more money for the experiences that actually matter.

^{*According to the findings of a study/survey conducted by EQ Bank from May 16th to 20th, 2025 among a representative sample of 1,524 online Canadians who are members of the Angus Reid Forum. The survey was conducted in English and French. For comparison purposes only, a probability sample of this size would carry a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.}
