Hey as The International Acquirer Fee is separate from Visa’s international service assessment, but both fees apply under the same circumstances

Fees


International Acquirer Fee (IAF) of 0.45%

International Service Assessment of 0.40%

Visa implemented an international service assessment (ISA) fee of 40 basis points (0.40%) in April of 2008.

This fee applies to all transactions involving a U.S. based business and a credit or debit card issued outside of the U.S.

The ISA is also separate from interchange rates and from Visa’s standard assessment fee, which is currently 11 basis points (0.11%).

The ISA is one of two fees Visa currently charges for international card usage, the other is the International Acquirer Fee, a separate 45 basis point fee (0.45%), which applies under the exact same circumstances as the ISA. Visa began charging the IAF in October 2009.
The total fees Visa charges for a transaction involving an international card processed in the U.S. is the sum of the ISA fee (0.40%),
The Visa standard assessment (0.11%), and the International Acquirer Fee (0.45%), which comes to almost a full percent above interchange, 96 basis points (0.96%).
