Actually you can change the overseas flag from the ATM itself already, new service smile.gif

Overseas trxn is either via Mastercard Cirrus/ Mastercard Maestro/ Visa Plus/ Visa Interlink. All is charged RM10/trxn.

Impossible you can find MEPS outside Malaysia. MEPS is local.

Actually, whether its RM1 or RM10, the charge came from the switch ie MEPS or Cirrus/Maestro, not the bank.

While overseas, you can use your Credit Card and ATM card to withdraw cash. Try not to use CC because there is a blanket cash advance fee of 1% whereas there are none for ATM card.

I do no think so. Here are my reasoning.

1. If they are all from CIRRUS/PLUS etc, the charges should be the same. But AFAIK, different bank charge different amount. Some zero. Some RM5. Some RM10 and others RM12.

2. CIRRUS/PLUS makes their money from the foreign exchange conversion. If you withdraw Japanese Yen, C/P will convert Yen to USD and from USD to RM. They make their money there.

I have to reconfirm on the charges. Thanks for your clarification. Now im in doubt laugh.gif
