anyone has experience with refund in foreign currency?

does it follows the rate that was charged previously (as if reversing the transaction) OR it follows the rate of the date of refund (possible gain or loss due to fluctuation of  exchange rate)?  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif

Normally it follow rate on refund date

I advise you use PBB instead. CIMB rate quite high, my oversea transaction always 2% while PBB always below 2%. 1.x only. Ambank also quite low rate if you have it also.

UOB YOLO also quite expensive

Just sharing,

Transaction date: 14 Nov 2018
Card used: Hong Leong Visa Debit Card - purchase online using debit card
Payment as confirmed by HLB charged to card (in SGD) : SGD 221.00
Amount charged as in back statement (MYR): RM 946.54

If direct convert, this is very high..
Anyone can enlighten me if otherwise?

U sure they only charge u SGD221? The rate is incredibly high, seem like USD rate instead of SGD

anyone heard of Flywire? Wonder it will have any cross border transaction fee even the payment currency is in MYR. Also, can the payment treated as Online transaction?
