When making card payments in another currency, it is important to understand how the currency conversion process works to avoid any confusion later. Here's the process:

If the transaction is in USD, EUR or MDL, the bank uses its own exchange rate(the exchange rate for card transactions). The amount is blocked at the exchange rate on the day of the transaction. After receiving the debit confirmation from the international payment systems, the account is debited at the bank's exchange rate but at the amount set on the debit day (the difference between these two transactions can take up to 30 days).

For a transaction in another currency, the amount is initially converted to USD at the Mastercard or Visa exchange rate at the time of the transaction. This allows the USD amount to be blocked temporarily on your card account. Once the payment has been confirmed by the international payment systems (between 1 and 30 days from the date of purchase), the payment process is completed. The previously blocked amount is then recalculated in USD at the Mastercard or Visa exchange rate on the day of withdrawal from the account. Afterwards, the final exchange rate will be converted into the currency of your account at the bank's commercial rate(exchange rate for card transactions) if the account currency is not USD.

It is important to consider that the amount available in your account may vary. This variation may occur due to the time it takes for the merchant to process the information. Thus, the available balance in your account may be exceeded due to currency exchange.
