Using your Electrocard abroad

Updated over a year ago

If your Electrocard (RFID) is linked to a debit or credit card, please check if foreign currency transaction fees apply. Your bank will charge this fee if you use your Electrocard abroad - similar to when you use certain bank cards to pay for food, drinks, boat trips to see Octopuses (etc.) when on holiday abroad.

For UK customers with a payment card linked to their Electroverse account: any charging session outside the UK will be billed in the local currency. The conversion rate will be at the discretion of your banking provider, so we recommend checking before starting a charge.

For customers who have linked their Octopus Energy and Electroverse accounts: the conversion rate will be automatically converted for you and applied to your monthly bill. The rate will also be applied for the time/date of your charging session and be visible on your monthly breakdown and session receipts.
