Uber is set to implement a 1.5% fee for Preferred Currency Pricing, impacting users in the US, Canada, UK, and Europe starting February 27. This fee applies to payments made with debit or credit cards when users opt to pay in their home currency while traveling abroad. Users can avoid this fee by disabling the setting in the app and opting to pay in the local currency instead. The change may specifically affect those who do not incur foreign transaction fees on their credit cards.
