My Thoughts on the VOYAGE Exchange Concierge - OCBC VOYAGE Card

When I wrote about the OCBC VOYAGE Card last month, I mentioned that cardholders will have access to a dedicated concierge that can assist you in making restaurant reservations, travel itinerary planning and also provide to you a range of other services (so long it is legal!) that cardholders like myself can enjoy.

Information is still not available readily on their website so I wanted to share as much as I know here. One of the major advantages of this new credit card is the 1.5% transaction fee waiver (usually associated with all foreign currency purchases on the Visa Infinite).
