For those of us who like to travel, we know that one of the hassles that comes along with it is changing large amounts of money to a different currency. Often times, you’d have to wait in long lines at the money changing counter and you’d have to be extra careful with all the cash you have to carry with you.

That said, this will no longer be a problem because RHB Banking Group has now launched Malaysia’s very first multi-currency debit cards which will give users access to 13 foreign currencies alongside the ringgit. So convenient!

Customers will have the flexibility to take advantage of prevailing competitive exchange rates, and earn interest on foreign currency balances. What’s even better is that there will be no conversion charges or transaction fees, reported The Star.

This newly launched service will be available through two different cards: RHB Multi Currency Visa Debit Card and RHB Premier Multi Currency Visa Debit Card, which customers will be able to use to withdraw cash from any ATM worldwide and enjoy overseas retail spending without additional conversion fees typically associated with credit cards.

“The debit card will empower our customers’ lifestyles and provide a gateway for the various financial needs without the hassle of having to open accounts in different countries.”
