I remembered OCBC TMC didn’t have a good final rate for foreign currency transaction. And based on the image attached, it says no markup for OCBC 365 only. Are you certain OCBC TMC now has no markup fee too ?

I asked the OCBC credit card employee that was handling my credit card application regarding this markup fee and she confirmed that this is applicable to OCBC TMC too.

I just checked my last OCBC credit card statement and it suggests that the OCBC Titanium MasterCard also has an administration fee of 1.25% for payment made in foreign currency.

hmm.gif that's odd... quite contradictory to the TnC
