Hi all,

does anybody know if there are any fees when you make an online purchase with Bangkok Bank Be1st Visa debit card?

There are no fees by Bangkok Bank unless it's a purchase from a foreign website...then the following occurs: "When making payments or withdrawing cash overseas with your Be1st Visa Debit card, the amount will be converted to Thai Baht based on Visa's normal exchange rates with a conversion charge added which will not exceed 2.5% of the exchange rate applied. Cash withdrawals will be charged a flat fee of 100Bt."

A course there is nothing preventing an online merchant from charging a fee for payment via debit/credit card...above and beyond any fee the card-issuing bank may apply...kinda like how some brick-and-mortar stores will charge an extra fee if paying by debit/credit card.

Fee info available the Bangkok Bank website regarding their debit card.

between 12 and 25 Baht if transferring to a non-Bangkok Bank account, 50 if you do it in the bank

Typically no fees as same as a credit card but there is a conversion rate of roughly 2.5% of exchange rates on the day from Thai baht to USD or else when making an online purchase. They use VISA exchange rate to calculate the rates.
