# Card Fee Quote

> Calculate fees before create, fund, or withdraw

Calculate a single fee amount for a given operation (`issuance`, `funding`, `withdrawal`, etc.) before debiting your wallet.

## How it works

1. **Choose `fee_type`** for the operation you are about to perform.
2. **Include `amount_usd`** when required (e.g. `funding`, `cross_border`).
3. **Receive the quoted fee** to show your user or validate wallet balance.

## Fee types

| `fee_type`     | `amount_usd` required |
| -------------- | --------------------- |
| `issuance`     | No                    |
| `funding`      | Yes                   |
| `withdrawal`   | No                    |
| `spend`        | No                    |
| `maintenance`  | No                    |
| `cross_border` | Yes                   |
