This comparison

  • Moreta

    1.5% fee · 9,789.92 THB

    Moreta converts at its live rate and charges one 1.5% fee on the payment. No card fees, no ATM fees, no cash to change.

  • Your bank's card

    3% fee · 1% off the rate · 9,544.42 THB

    Most big US banks charge up to 3% on foreign card transactions (Chase and Bank of America's standard cards do), and the card network's own conversion adds about 1% on top.

  • ATM cash withdrawal

    3% fee · 1% off the rate · 5.00 USD bank fee · 250 THB at the ATM over 1 withdrawal · 9,135.35 THB

    A typical 5 USD out-of-network fee from your own bank, the card's 3% foreign transaction fee and about 1% network spread, plus the local operator's fee on every withdrawal the machine's limit forces (250 THB per 25,000 THB in Thailand, for example).

  • Card billed in USD

    3% fee · 6% off the rate · 9,062.38 THB

    Choosing to pay in your home currency on the terminal (dynamic currency conversion) lets the merchant's bank set the rate. Consumer studies put that markup at 5% to 7% on average, on top of your card's own fee.

  • Airport exchange counter

    10% off the rate · 8,945.10 THB

    Airport bureaux typically quote 8% to 10% or more off the market rate, and some add a flat commission on top.
