Called up Maybank to inform my travel plan to avoid disappointment when try to use oversea. Before CS ended the call, the she told me

VISA admin fee is 1%

But based on previous usage on VISA, is above 2%...

Have few transactions where the posting and transaction date is the same. The effective rate almost same but in MBB internet banking we do not have the details down to hour and minute. Else we can have more accurate effective rate when using MBB 2 Amex
