0.8% border fees still lower than the currency exchange right?

sorry, abit confuse. Do you mean:

if buy in other currency - got charge cross border fees 0.8%+ 2.5% currency exchange?

thanks tifosi for the clarification

For other currency there's no cross border fees. It only apply when the gateway is in a foreign country while the transaction is in RM.
