The higher the transaction value, the higher the percentage-based cross-border fee will typically be. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benpay.com\/card\/home\">BenPay Sigma Card<\/a><\/strong> uses a fixed cross-border fee model. For non-USD transactions, it does not charge a percentage-based cross-border fee based on transaction value. Instead, it charges a fixed <strong>$0.50 cross-border fee per transaction<\/strong>, making it more suitable for users who frequently make payments in China and other Asian markets or who regularly make higher-value cross-border transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sigma Card currently offers the following key features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>No additional percentage-based cross-border fee calculated from transaction value<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No fixed lifetime cumulative spending cap<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support for Alipay and WeChat Pay<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support for payment scenarios including ChatGPT, Claude, Amazon, X, and Facebook<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the fixed cross-border fee, other charges such as spending fees, top-up fees, monthly fees, and refund fees may still apply. See the fee table below for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide explains the Sigma Card\u2019s fixed cross-border fee structure, suitable use cases, key fees, how to choose between BenPay cards, and how to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Percentage-Based Cross-Border Fee: A Fixed $0.50 per Non-USD Transaction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Sigma Card currently shows a <strong>0% percentage-based cross-border fee<\/strong>, meaning that no additional cross-border fee is charged as a percentage of the transaction amount. <strong>USD transactions do not incur an additional cross-border fee<\/strong>, while <strong>non-USD transactions<\/strong> are charged a fixed <strong>$0.50 cross-border fee per transaction<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The examples below compare only the cross-border fee:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Equivalent Transaction Value<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Sigma Fixed Cross-Border Fee<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Cross-Border Fee at an Assumed 1.5% Rate<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">$100<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">$0.50<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">$1.50<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">$500<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">$0.50<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">$7.50<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">$1,000<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">$0.50<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">$15.00<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, for a non-USD transaction with an equivalent value of <strong>$1,000<\/strong>, the Sigma Card\u2019s fixed cross-border fee remains <strong>$0.50<\/strong>. If the cross-border fee were calculated at 1.5% of the transaction amount, the fee would be <strong>$15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, when looking only at the cross-border fee, <strong>the higher the value of an individual non-USD transaction, the more noticeable the advantage of a fixed fee over a percentage-based fee will generally be<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The examples above compare only the cross-border fee and do not represent the total cost of using the Sigma Card. Each successful transaction is also subject to a 0.5% spending fee, with a minimum fee of $0.50. Top-up fees, monthly fees, and refund fees may also apply.
