Bob,

Evidently Fintrax got in on a good thing and took a piece of the pie. But it was Fexco (based in Kilorglin) who came up with the whole scheme: http://www.fexcoms.com/products/dynamic-currency-conversiondcc/ furious Looks like there are multiple villains.

FEXCO is ALSO the company that reviews and processes all applications for the Certificate of Irish Heritage. Sounds like they have their hands in everything.

I love how they state that the "local Acquiring bank and the local merchant benefit from the currency exchange fee" -- no mention of the customer who is often subjected to DCC without realizing they are being provided the "service."
