More analysis. I don't see a significant difference between the XE.com and Commerce Bank/Capital One charges. The variance may be due to when the charge was processed as the XE.com historical chart only shows at 12 PM (not sure of time zone).

Date RMB Charge (US$) Exhange Rate XE.com Rate Variation XE Charge Deviation % Type
