ExpressVPN charges Australians in USD
Your bank converts each payment on the day you're charged, so the cost rises when the Australian dollar falls. The Basic 2-year plan's US$92.09 first payment is about $132.12 today.
Many Australian cards add a foreign transaction fee (often around 3%); a card without international fees avoids it. Rate: A$1 = US$0.6970 (Reserve Bank of Australia, 7 Oct 2026).
Today ≈ $132.12
