Do you use a UK credit card for USD transactions?
I am being charged 2.75% comission on every purchase in a foreign currency...

This is the standard fee for all Mastercards.
Anybody know any UK banks / credit card issuers that can do business credit cards in USD?

Surfer?

I dunno man, what with the weakness of the dollar, purchases in the US are pretty damn cheap anyway.

Barclays, Lloyds, HSBC all have bank issued credit cards that can be used for business purchases in the US and from what i recall their rates were slightly lower than what you have now although, that was about 4 years ago.

Regards,
