Exchange rates may vary for different of credit cards and banks. Certain banks charge a service fees or other charges for overseas credit card transactional use. Therefore, you may like to do a quick check on their rates prior to its use overseas. Our center does not dictate and are we involved on the stated credit card exchange rates.
