Here\u2019s the Answer & Complete Tips"},"content":{"rendered":"

When you travel to Malaysia for a vacation, work, study, or temporary stay, one important thing to prepare is access to cash. Although cashless payments are becoming more popular, in reality many daily needs such as buying food, local transportation, or emergencies still require cash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before using your BCA card abroad, make sure you have activated the international transaction feature via myBCA or BCA Mobile.

In terms of fees, cash withdrawals using a BCA card abroad are usually charged around IDR 25,000 to IDR 50,000 per transaction, depending on the network used. In addition, some ATMs offer the option to charge in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). It is recommended to decline this option, as it uses DCC (Dynamic Currency Conversion), which usually offers a less favorable exchange rate compared to BCA\u2019s own rate.<\/span><\/p>\n
