If a dispute arises about a transaction for which you used your VISA card, you must first attempt to settle it directly with the merchant or business concerned. You are also responsible for returning defective merchandise and ensuring proper credit is received.

Transaction Date and Posting Date

The date columns shown opposite an item on your statement reflect the respective dates on which the transaction occurred and was posted to your Company’s account. If the transaction date is not available, the posting date will appear in both columns.

Transactions in a Foreign Currency

Transactions in a foreign currency are converted to Canadian or US dollars at the exchange rate in effect as determined by VISA International on the date the item was received and is debited or credited to your Company's account. The rate may be different from the rate in effect on the date the transaction was made. For information purposes, the exchange rate includes an amount equal to 2.50% of the converted amount, which is applied to both debit and credit transactions.
