GST. No GST on currency conversion. Purchases are taxed in the country where they are made.
The GrabPay Card is a Mastercard linked to the Grab wallet that many Singaporeans already use day to day. It can be used overseas, with foreign transactions converted by Mastercard. It earns GrabRewards points, but it is built around the Grab ecosystem rather than designed specifically to minimise FX costs.
Pros & cons
What’s good
- Convenient if you already keep money in the Grab app.
- Earns GrabRewards points on spending.
- No annual fee and easy to top up from local banks.
Worth noting
- FX handling is less favourable than dedicated multi-currency cards.
- Built around the Grab ecosystem rather than travel specifically.
- Prepaid — you must keep the wallet topped up.
Our verdict
GrabPay is convenient if you already live in the Grab app, but for genuinely cheap overseas spending a purpose-built card like YouTrip or Revolut will usually cost you less in FX.
