OneCard forex markup and the International Pass: what we can confirm

OneCard charges a 1% forex markup at every issuing bank. The app also has an International Pass, which cardholders describe as giving that 1% back in reward points. We can confirm the markup and where the Pass sits in the app. We cannot confirm what the Pass gives: no issuing bank's terms and no OneCard page describes it. Here is what is solid, what is not, and what to check before you travel.


A correction

Earlier versions of this page said the Pass makes OneCard's forex markup 0%, credits the points instantly and lasts for a set period. We could not trace any of that to a bank's terms or to OneCard. When we looked for a source, the only description of the Pass online was our own earlier page, repeated by other sites. We have removed those claims.

Where this lives after the May 2026 app update

OneCard rebuilt its app around four tabs: Store, Offers, Spends and Manage. In practice most of what you need surfaces on the dashboard rather than inside those tabs. You will find the International Pass on the dashboard, under Check Pass. Older guides, including earlier versions of this page, said Rewards → Passes. That menu is gone.

Checked in the app in August 2026. If it moves again, tell us.

Quick answer
OneCard's forex markup is 1% of the transaction amount, also on rupee payments to merchants or payment gateways based outside India, at every issuing bank, plus GST. The International Pass is on the app dashboard under Check Pass; read what it offers there before you rely on it. Separately, switch on international usage in the app's card controls, or foreign transactions are declined.

What is certain: the 1% markup

Every OneCard issuing bank's terms set the same markup: 1% of the transaction amount, also on rupee payments to merchants or payment gateways based outside India. The banks add GST to their fees, so the markup costs a little more than 1% in practice. Here is how it compares with the other cards we cover, on a ₹10,000 foreign spend:

Forex markup on a ₹10,000 foreign spend, before GST
Scapia (0%)₹0
OneCard (1%)₹100
Jupiter Edge and super.money superCard (3.5%)₹350

See forex markup on every card, with each issuer's exact wording.

The International Pass: what we know, and what we do not

What we know. The Pass is on the app dashboard, under Check Pass, since OneCard rebuilt its app in May 2026.

What no document tells us.Whether the Pass gives back the 1% markup, and in what form. How long it lasts once switched on. Whether it covers the GST on the markup. And if it pays in points, what they are worth: OneCard's own example puts a point at ₹0.10, so "1% in points" is not necessarily 1% in rupees. See how OneCard rewards work.

How to find out for your own card

Open Check Pass and read the Pass's own terms in the app. After your first foreign transaction, compare the markup on your statement with any points credited for it. That tells you more than any guide can.

Before you travel

Switch on international usage in the app's card controls. The banks' terms list it as a control; without it, foreign transactions are declined.
Open Check Pass on the dashboard and read what the International Pass currently offers.
Check your available credit limit before you leave.
Expect the 1% markup plus GST on every foreign transaction, and on rupee payments to merchants based outside India.
