Bullshit la nothing to do with foreign bank. HSBC and CITIBANK not foreign bank? I never got charged when spending with this two banks.

IMO it’s the bank itself, nothing to do with foreign or local. That’s why apple happily refund the unnecessary 1% charge, coz they will deal with the bank back end to waive it off…

how do you guys seek a refund of the 1% charges from apple?

i got charged 1% too for my purchase of apple watch using CIMB card

Edit: Called apple store toll free number. Speak to the customer service about the 1% charges. They told because the item was not shipped from Malaysia so "some bank" will charge 1% then ask me to email them the credit card statement showing the extra 1% charges then they will revert back the 1%.

call your bank to request waiver, if they refuse to then only go to Apple CS.

can refer to earlier posts here and here

Lesson learnt. Don't use CIMB for Apple Store Malaysia purchases. Too much hassle.

Think not only CIMB, someone shared standard chartered as well..

I contacted Apple Support and they agreed to refund the 1%, although the email stated it was a one off refund.

Time to switch to other banks.  laugh.gif

the one off refund is just a template they use, if you buy again they will waive it again biggrin.gif but to skip all the trouble, better just use other card..
