Mastercard charges a 1% fee if you withdraw in a non USD currency some banks or card issuers may add on an additional 2-3% or more which RedPass do not do.

Since I see Payoneer in a RedPass/Paxum thread thread I will bring up this thread: https://gfy.com/showthread.php?t=1048440 Where both Paxum and Payoneer claims that MC charges up to 3% in currency conversion fees.
MC charges 1%, look it up, research it and realize thats the way it is.

I did a withdrawal in THB on my RedPass card.

I got 31 THB/USD which were as good as the rate for $100 bills at Bangkok Bank

I did the same transaction at one of our competitors and got:

Which is an exchange rate that is 3% worse.

So for someone withdrawing in non-us currency and making $2.000 a month they would make more than $700 a year using RedPass compared to our competitors.
