Strategies to Minimize Conversion Fees
While currency conversion involves some costs, you can take proactive steps to reduce fees.
1. Pay in Your Card's Native Currency
If your credit/debit card is in USD, EUR, or CNY, try to pay in that same currency on LoongBuy. This often avoids Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC)
2. Use a Multi-Currency Bank Account or Card
Consider using a financial product designed for international spending. Some banks and fintech services offer accounts that hold multiple currencies with low-cost conversions.
3. Review Final Checkout Summary
Always check the final breakdown of charges before confirming your order. Ensure you understand the total amount to be deducted in your home currency, including any disclosed conversion fees.
4. Bundle Your Purchases
Consolidate items into a single order rather than making multiple small transactions. This minimizes the potential impact of any fixed per-transaction fees.
