Money-Exchange

• 100 R$ received from HSBC machine

60.22 USD billed to credit card at an exchange rate of 1.67

100.57 == 60.22 * 1.67

Cost = 100.57 - 100 = 57 Brazilian cents!

Seems the best method so far !

Notes

• as per call to Chase - They charge 3% or 10 dollars whichever is greater - this is not the good deal I thought it was.
