  • EUR to Thai Baht? - Thailand

Hi! Does anyone know how Bunq works in Thailand?
If I use the card to pay with an EUR account do I pay exchange fees? What about withdrawals from ATMs in local currency?

    @AleLoCoco#267088 Hi! If you're paying somewhere abroad in a different currency or you're using an ATM, you can often choose between:

    • A) Letting your bank (bunq) do the conversion
    • B) Let the terminal/ATM do the conversion

    Choose option A: bunq only asks a 0.5% fee on converting currencies, where other banks often ask ±3%.

    If you're in a country that has as different currency than your bunq accounts, you can choose between showing your money in Euro's, or showing it in the currency of the country you're in. You can find a toggle in the settings for this ("Show local currency").

      @thijsoost#267089 That's great! Thank you. I'll try to choose the first option when possible 😅 also I toggled "show local currency". I guess it's based on my GPS, right?

        @AleLoCoco#267091 Correct! It checks the location of your phone to determine what currency to show.
