Zyxlsy: that's be cause unionpay issuers in HK forgo foreign currency translation fee (it's 1.95% for v/MC and 2% for ae). Add them back and you'll see unionpay wholesale rate is worse off
OK, now I understand~

That's why my CSP does a much better job because the fee is 0%.

Do HK banks issue real "no FTF" cards?
