Guys, I have been reading till 2016 posts lol...noted that public bank vs gives 1.25%...just wanna check is it worthwhile to apply another card eg: AmBank world mc, aeon card or even the Bank Rakyat if the rate is way cheaper...as I go overseas quite often...wanna save on exchange rates. And good not to carry so much cash as well.

Maybe for aeon and AmBank world 1% is not much difference.

Bank Rakyat if 0% worth considering! But is it well accepted worldwide?

Thanks for your advice!

I'm in the same boat like you and just got the Bank Rakyat Platinum mastercard for my recent overseas trip. With the 0% markup on all overseas transactions it's really worth it. It's mastercard so it's accepted worldwide.  rclxms.gif

Wow sounds like a good deal! Thanks SamD, is this the card which you’re referring to?

By the way, is it due to they’re having some kind of promotion now?

Thank you notworthy.gif

Yes, it's the Platinum Mastercard you referred to from RinggitPlus link. However, I applied directly to the branch.

The 0% markup on all overseas transactions is not a promotion, but it's one of the card features according to Bank Rakyat's website.
