If purchasing in foreign currency, Bank of China Shop card is the best deal for rebates. Better than SCB Singpost.

Yes. SCB fx fee 3.5%. Highest in the market. Nett rebate 3.5%. BOC fx fee 1.5%. Nett rebate 4.5% if in the 6% rebate band.

Local spend: SCB wins!

1.5%? visa slap on 1%? BOC slap on 0.5%? most banks are 2.5% in total.

BOC is total 2.5% FX fee, your information is wrong...

My information is from BOC website. Under fees for foreign currency transactions.

Credit Cards Charges | Bank of China @ Singapore

It did not state to have additional 1% fee imposed by Visa/MC.

So is their website info wrong? You have another source of info? I know that somebody will attack me for this so I looked on the website before posting (***trying to duck arrows***)
