Hi,may I ask if using SCB card for Paypal (paying in USD) have any cross border fee charged or not?

Even if no cross border fee,there is a mark up fee of 1%?

Thanks

based on post #1, it's very likely you will be charged cross border fee.
what is that 'mark up fee' of 1%? are you referring to the cross border fee?

I did a online chat with a SC person.
He mention cross border and mark up is 2 different thing.
Mark up fee is charge as long the merchant is registered oversea.
I have doubt with his explanation,thus seeking help here.

Thanks

Every bank will charge transaction fee for credit card payment in foreign currency.. but u won’t be able to c as they converted directly in MYR, so u can only assume their FX Rate is higher.. generally it is 1-2% higher

For cross border fee, u can see the difference. Eg, u make online txn in MYR with oversea merchant, ur OTP shown RM10, but ur bank will charge RM10.10, the 10cents is 1% cross border fee.

So conclusion Paypal (oversea merchant) transaction using USD (foreign currency) have cross border fee charged by SCB or not?

Cross border fee occur only when local currency transact in foreign gateway.

Which in ur case, only have charge the conversion fee by visa/ master.

U not spending in local myr. No border charge.
