ㅣ5. Honest review
1️⃣ The cashback benefits of the existing Toss Bank Card have been reduced.
Toss Bank Card, which provides unconditional 3% cashback when traveling abroad

The existing Toss Bank card offered 2% cashback when making payments at overseas stores.
Even considering the 1% MasterCard fee and $0.5 foreign service fee, cashback was more advantageous for purchases of $60 or more.
However, if you link it to Toss Bank’s foreign currency account, the cashback disappears and only the fee is waived.
I liked it because it had a distinct charm compared to the ‘Travel Wallet Woori Card’, but I personally found it disappointing.
2️⃣ It feels like real-time exchange rates are not applied like investing. (cf. Kiwoom Securities)

Kiwoom Securities Global (overseas stocks) applies real-time published exchange rates.
It provides a lower preferential exchange rate (95%) than Toss Bank’s foreign currency account, but there are times when it is a loss because the real-time exchange rate is not reflected.
If you take advantage of that and trade, you can save on commissions and make more profits.
