How to avoid foreign-transaction fees in Haitian gourde
- Use a no-FX-fee card. Many bank cards add ~3% on every overseas purchase — on $2,000 of spending that’s $60 lost.
- Always pay in HTG, never “pay in your home currency” at the terminal — that’s dynamic currency conversion, a hidden markup of 3–8%.
- Avoid airport bureaux de change and withdraw from bank ATMs in larger amounts to cut per-withdrawal fees.
- Carry a little cash for markets and transport; check local card acceptance before relying on tap-to-pay.
