Frequently asked questions
What is the FX fee and cross-border fee of Thai debit cards?
FX fee is the foreign exchange fee that banks charge in addition to the mid-rate, and cross-border fee is the fee that Visa/Mastercard charges for cross-border transactions. The two combined usually amount to 2.5-3.5% of the expense.
Is Thai debit card suitable for use abroad?
It's a high cost, because there's a FX fee 1.5-2.5% plus cross-border fee 1% plus the risk of DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion) 3-5%. It's always better to choose "pay in local currency" or use a special ticket with a lower FX fee.
What is DCC and how should it be avoided?
DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion) is when POS machines in foreign countries offer to pay in Thai baht instead, using a much worse rate, should always refuse and choose "Pay in local currency" so that the Thai Bank calculates the exchange rate instead.
