If you’re from Malaysia and often travel or shop at overseas online stores, this post is just for you. Here’s a review and referral article on BigPay.
We signed up for BigPay shortly after its launch, and we’re still very satisfied users. Here’s why…
Why Our Family Uses BigPay
We reside in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and visit my Singapore home several times a year. We also travel during the school holidays each year. We do homeschooling and after-schooling, and need a good stash of books and learning materials, some of which aren’t available locally. Therefore we may buy from overseas stores. Typically, the credit card company or PayPal charges up to 5% conversion fees.
When BigPay was launched to offer real exchange rates, we signed up almost instantly!
What we like about it:
- Real exchange rates that are lower than regular bank credit cards, so we don’t need to spend too much time queuing at the money changer with the best rate.
- Since we use BigPay overseas, we don’t need to bring excessive cash when traveling.
- Can be widely used at many merchants that accept MasterCard
What can be improved:
- (Not at the moment since we use it as a payment card and it has been a pleasant experience)
