Many banks charge a hefty premium for overseas purchases, and they tend to charge per purchase.

  TfL settles every 24 hours, so you'll only have a single purchase per 24H regardless of how many journeys you've taken. I'd also argue that in this case the fault is on the cardholder for being with a shit bank when better options exist in the vast majority of countries.

    I think that's an absurd requirement to levy on tourists and oyster cards are a perfectly reasonable solution.

    That would be most American banks.
