I got charged 1% when i purchased air ticket from singapore airline. The bank claimed its administrative fee, but administrative fee only applicable for debit card or am i wrong?

When search online, there is a 1% charges when there is conversion involved. When i paid for my ticket it shows in ringgit and I received the sms stating that i paid the exact amount. However when i view it in the statement it is 1% higher than the amount shown in the sms i received.

Not all banks charge 1% Cross Border Fee.
Which bank card you used? Hong Leong Bank, CIMB, Standard Chartered, Bigpay?
