As much as we LOVE travelling overseas, the reality of preparing for our holiday isn’t as romantic, though travel conventions like MATTA Fair do help. ? From applying for visas to changing our money, it’s necessary so that our holiday goes smooth as butter lah, even if it’s so mafan to keep an eye on the foreign currency rate. ?
Fortunately, we discovered an app that actually makes money changing SUPER senang AND at the best competitive rates possible!
Behold, Merchantrade Money is an award-winning app & card-based digital wallet featuring a wide array of digital financial services, including on-the-go currency exchange, multi-currency e-wallet & so many more!
Here are a few reasons why we think Merchantrade Money is a must-have for every Malaysian traveller!
1. So much easier to track rates now & get the best value!
With Merchantrade Money, no need to go out of your way to check the foreign exchange rates ever again! With up to 20 currencies available on the app and its “rate alert feature”, you can receive notifications and monitor rates wherever you are – super convenient for you to decide when to buy, keep and sell your currencies on the app at the best competitive rates. ?
When you feel that the money exchange rate is ? just right, you can buy ahead of your holiday to lock in the rates and get the best bang out of your Ringgit! No longer have to worry about rate fluctuations in the future and get the most out of your shopping? Yasss, kweeeen~ ?
2. Enjoy even more savings & peace of mind with just one card
Unlike other e-wallets, you can pair the Merchantrade Money app with a Visa prepaid card (which you get upon registration), so that you can reload it for even more seamless payments around the world! This pairing unlocks even more potential for this globe-trotting e-wallet, including features like:
