QUOTE(Ginny88 @ Jun 11 2020, 05:18 PM) XE Rates are interbank rates. They are not available to retail customers. The proper comparison is local banks' over the counter rates. Yes, in fact, there’s a disclaimer on their mobile app, stating exactly what you mentioned. |

QUOTE(NGV22 @ Jun 11 2020, 01:42 PM) Long story short, I purchased something online from US website using Maybank credit card so much higher? it's less than 3%?Now the payment finally shown in Maybank portal. The rate used is 1 USD = MYR 4.3773. Currently the rate should be 1 USD = MYR 4.26 question: is it normal to have bank conversion rate so much higher than the normal conversion rate (difference of 0.11!) Thanks yes, that's how banks make money and is the 4.26 rate you checked from maybank and at the time of transaction? https://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries...,-20657,00.html |
