Do u all mean in-app or physical card? I thought GPMC was pretty much released to everyone on the grab app already. Sorry if I may be wrong :)

I don’t have the inapp virtual card

I'm also not invited 😂 shall wait for them to offer to all 😊

"Grabpay Virtual Mastercard is expected to roll out to the public in the last quarter of 2019. "

According to this link

Anyone having problem using GPMC overseas to pay merchants?

Meaning in Malaysia, scan QR code. Can't pay as the amount in SGD. Now I don't see overseas currency too.

I'm having some issues topping up with UOB Amex, like can top up >$2k at one instance, then fail at $50 the next (nothing to do with limit, since I can do 3x $20 top ups).

If the issue is in place, I usually find that $20 and enter card manually works. But bank will usually detect this as highly fraudulent activity and card will get block the card. Need to call bank to unblock.

Sometimes intermittent, in one day, $2k one shot can, next moment $50 also cannot.

Grab help mentioned this to me.

"In regards to your inquiry, please be informed, you unable to see the local currency because your GrabPay Mastercard is activate.

When you activated your GrabPay Mastercard, you unable to use other GrabPay wallet other than SGD.

Thus, to perform any MYR or THB transaction, you need to use the GrabPay Card which would be pre-loaded with the SGD balance in your SG wallet. There will be some currency conversion (Foreign Exchange) charges applied on the transaction when the rides taken in other country.

Hope above clarifies."

When we travel overseas, will we still be able to access the GPMC interface (e.g. to see card details, top up SG wallet / GPMC)? Or we should top up the SG wallet first before leaving SG?

I was able to access when i was in Europe 2 months ago. Still able to get card details, top up etc. But i have heard some people were not able to do so. Not sure why, so to be safe, just top up before leaving.

Some features might not be available while overseas, the app will take your GPS location to determine that. I had to spoof my GPS back to sg to get it to work (ie top up etc).
