Speaking of currency conversion, this link is cool

And ePassporte Terms and Conditions

Quote:
XIII. International transactions
The exchange rate between the transaction currency and Your billing currency that is used for processing international transactions is a rate selected by Visa from a range of rates available in wholesale currency markets for the applicable central processing date, which may vary from the rate Visa itself receives on the government-mandated rate in effect for the applicable central processing date.
A one percent (1%) International Service Assessment fee may be charged by Visa on all international transactions.
Quote:
11. ATM Fees. An ATM fee of US$2 will be assessed to Your Account for each transaction whereby You obtain or try to obtain cash or a balance inquiry from Your Account. This fee will be assessed at the time of the transaction, and is in addition to the fee charged by the owner of the ATM.
So it looks like Visa charges the %1 of USD on transactions, and Visa overall determines the exchange rate, epassporte charges you a $2 fee, and then if the ATM charges fees you'll get hit with those.
