Ok ok sorry missed that.

I wanted to compare, which one is more worth it for spending when travelling to overseas. Was using the GBP as an example.

For the Wise, I was trying to see how much MYR I need to pay in order to have GBP100 in the GBP account.

For the Mastercard, I was trying to see how much I need to pay in MYR if I swipe GBP100 with the GX card

Thanks in advance.

p/s - the screenshots were taken on last Sunday, so today's rate will be different.

I see, ok will try to compare again during office hours.

But I guess this is only for Wise if I want to transfer fund to the foreign currency account right? For GX it will still based on the transaction date.

BTW talking about this, does it also means if paying using CC or DC when at overseas, the rates during weekdays will be more favourable than during weekends? If given a choice, is it better to pay in foreign currency using CC during weekdays?

Thanks

Paying with credit card will incur extra 2-3% charge by the banks.

that means GXbank collected USD105m = RM493 million
in 90 days from both Malaysia and Singapore?

Recent campaign RM1000 million 12days sudah penuh?

wah betukah ni GXB,

90days from Singapore+Malaysia baru dapat RM493million

12days from Malaysia alone sudah dapat RM1 billion??

i suspect belum penuh GXB cakap quota habis....

Very useful to use when traveling. Really good exchange rate (very very close to Sunway Pyramid money changer rate)

Just be careful to note that for higher amount, use PIN for authorization. Otherwise touch is ok.

Overseas transaction also got 1% money back

If go through Mydebit (PIN, Wave), instant settlement, so you get CB next day.
If go through Mastercard (Online, PIN, wave) need 1 day or more days to get "posted" then get CB.

all payment cards are susceptible to unauthorized txn coming thru. it's a never ending battle.

if the gxcard is with you at all times, better to freeze it if not using and unfreeze if using it. yes tedious, but better safe than sorry/worry later to get $$ back from dispute, etc.


since your card already 'responded' by accepting unauthorized txn, that means your card number already 'flagged' to be 'valid'.

better to trigger a new card replacement.
