These new debit cards work just like any other debit card in Malaysia, but with zero conversion charge or transaction fees for the 13 supported currencies, which are: US Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, Swiss Franc, Hong Kong Dollar, Saudi Riyal, South African Rand, Singapore Dollar, and Thai Baht.
Customers who wish to get the RHB Multi Currency Visa Debit Card would need to open an RHB Multi Currency Account, with a minimum initial deposit of US$1,000 (about RM4,080) or its equivalent. Balances in foreign currencies also earn interest.
