The website tells you - it's the Mastercard rate, see https://www.mastercard.com/us/personal/en/cardholderservices/currencyconversion/index.htmlAs an example, the current cash buy rate with Travelex is 1.552 today. What rate, for instance, would I get for a Passport Globe purchase today? And what do thay base this rate on?0 -

Hmm, that's interesting.
According to that, the MC rate is 1.6002, so even with a 1.49% fee for a transaction, that would take it down to 1.576, so that makes it 2.5 cents over the currency rate.
Might be worth going for this after all.0
