You can start to check the currency rate, buy it when you think is good rate.
Can set rate alert in the app.

Anyone used this card and how are the rates compared to BigPay?
*
different way of converting. for bigpay, u only convert when purchase, & will only know the conversion rate at that time. for merchantrade, u can convert earlier to foreign currency. so u can choose to convert when the rate is low. u can check the rate on the apps before converting.

been using this card on my recent trip to uk. it's so convenient having loaded it with pound. over there u can even buy ticket bus with it. u can immediately see what u have spent. just a small issue since it records in malaysia time.

bare in mind that the paywave is limited to RM250 so means about 50 pound or less, which can be a little hassle after u reach your limit where u need to use it old fashion way (slot & sign)

For me it's another debit/prepaid card which I think is very common.
Since top-up via credit card is not allow, it's probably very similar to other debit card in the current market.

Multi-currency feature is unique, let's see if anyone can share experience using this. I got mine and activated the card, but no time yet to activate this at their nearest branch.

yeah.. multi-currency feature is very convenient. got 3 currencies on my card currently. pound for my last visit to uk, AUD for my next visit to australia, & RM of course smile.gif

Mr. Ajay ! Is it possible to withdraw GBP from any ATM machine in UK using Merchantrade Money Visa? Or only certain ATM ?  Is there any charges for withdrawal? Tq.
*
yes possible. any ATM with visa sign should be accepted, but i have not tried it myself, & there will be extra charge incurred as well. for me, beter to stick to visawave or normal CC slot in payment.

Hi all. From what I understand from reading this is that you only have money in the card/app. If you want to go somewhere that only accepts cash, you need to use the card to withdraw money from an ATM. Then there will be an extra charge. Is this correct?
*
correct. when you travel, you gotta have both with you. some cash & some money in ewallet maybe 50:50 ratio. that way you should be covered.

Hi there

Can I withdraw the foreign currency like USD or SGD in hard cash from any of the merchantrade outlet in Malaysia?
*
i dont think you can do that. you can always buy back RM with your extra foreign currency & use the card in malaysia
