Like this:



Rate from card: 31.25
Rate from bank: 31.12

Other tests I have done show the same results getting about the rate you get if you sell USD cash to your bank.
If you use a card with a 3% markup on exchange rates then this transaction would have costs around $1319 which means with RedPass you save almost $40 on this transaction. Do 2-3 of this size a month and it adds up to more than $1000 a year.
