What is the best way to convert MYR to USD and save in FD? I see alot of discussions here are on saving SGD in SG bank.

don't believe the rate mentioned there. I've compare hlb and alliance. also shock when see the rate that hlb is lower.
however after conversion, realise that rate is not 4.7730 but add-on hidden fees. alliance is transparent. if 4.8415 , then it is same after convert.
beware of hidden rate and those bank did not tell upfront but showed lower rate
