Just curious. When they say 0 markups on FX rates, do they compare that against mid-market rates quoted by XE.com and those used in wholesale corporate banking rates? That means you are getting rates exactly the same as those reported in international FX markets?

If they compare against say, Mastercard's rate, you still lose some 30-50 basis points right (benchmarked against the international FX market)?

TOS it is still correct. Mastercard marked up their rates, GX will give you mastercard rates without additional fee

So, Mastercard's FX markup is 30-50 basis points? I just made up that figure in my previous post lol

crossposting this from GX bank thread. Mastercard rates itself is roughly 0.5%, but the 1% cashback should cover it

91.50 to get 4% effective.

if you want to put more, then park elsewhere better cause more than 91.50 it's just 2%

10 pockets + 1 in the main account so, you will have RM1006.50 earning 0.11 sen daily, in order to max it out

You help us check what is the lowest effective rate for the loans yea tongue.gif

If it's below most other bank's FD rate for a comparable tenure, we can run GX bank down! laugh.gif

Haha joking. I don't think the lowest effective rate will be below FD rates. Banks make money by pay less interests on deposits and earn more interests on loans.

The problem with digital banks however, is that they don't have a huge customer base like conventional banks, e.g. RHB, Maybank, CIMB, Public, Hong Leong etc.

Also, they don't offer diversified loans like car loans, housing loans etc. None of the digital banks' loans are collateralized too, so unsecured loan rates should be high....
