I've seen an additional charge on my bank statement labeled as 'Intl service fee'. I'm wondering what this fee is for and why it has been applied to my account. Could it be related to international transactions or something else?

Merchants should also take note of this fee, as it can impact their bottom line if they accept payments from international customers using cards issued outside of the U.S.

The ISA fee is not unique to any particular payment network or card issuer but is a standard charge imposed by many financial institutions to offset the additional costs associated with international transactions.
