Thanks for the info. Meaning for this year GXBank will be a better option for overseas spending ya? Since the 1.2% is waived till 31/12 as per some posts here.

Also I read that it's better to ask the overseas merchant to charge in their foreign currency instead of converted one ya? Since their conversion rate will always be higher?

Thanks

Yea, based on my experience, like TNG visa card offer 0% foreign currency charges, it is better to charge foreign currency directly, as their merchant conversion rate is always higher than your card.

I see, meaning that TnG visa is also 0% on forex now? so both TnG visa and gxbank will have the same rate?

Ya 0% mark up. TNG is using visa rate while GXbank is using mastercard rate.
