Who should look elsewhere

Fees and currency costs
There is a monthly fee of THB 0 on SCB PLANET, so keeping the card open between trips costs nothing. The currency conversion fee is 0%, which means paying in a local currency while abroad adds nothing on top of the rate you get. Together these two figures make it one of the cheapest cards here to hold. The one cost that stands out is the ATM: free withdrawals come to THB 0.
Where it sits among rivals
SCB PLANET ranks 1 of 419 brands on monthly fee, at THB 0. On currency conversion fee it sits 1 of 259, with 0%. Free ATM withdrawals tell the other story: 41 of 115, because the allowance is THB 0. The card is prepaid.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the monthly fee on SCB PLANET?+
The monthly fee is THB 0, so the card can stay open for the year without a charge. That puts SCB PLANET at 1 of 419 brands on this measure. It suits anyone who wants a travel card ready before a trip rather than one opened for a single holiday.
What does it cost to spend in another currency?+
The currency conversion fee is 0%, so converting between the currencies on the card adds no separate charge. That places SCB PLANET at 1 of 259 brands on currency conversion fee. The card holds 13 currencies, which is what makes the fee irrelevant in practice.
Can I withdraw cash abroad without paying?+
Free ATM withdrawals come to THB 0 on this card, so taking cash out is a cost rather than a free allowance. It ranks 41 of 115 brands on this measure. Paying in the local currency with the card is the cheaper route abroad.
Who issues the card?+
The card is issued by Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited, a Thai bank, and the card itself is prepaid rather than a debit card. Because it is prepaid, the balance has to be loaded before spending, which suits people who want a set spending pot for a trip.
How many currencies can I hold on the card?+
The card holds 13 currencies, and multi-currency and travel use are both stated features. Holding a balance in each currency means you can pay locally in several places on the same trip. The currency conversion fee of 0% applies when you move between them.
What network does the card run on?+
SCB PLANET runs on the Visa network, with card type prepaid. Visa acceptance abroad is the reason a multi-currency prepaid card like this can be used across a whole trip. You pay with the balance already on the card.
Is there any reward for spending on the card?+
The stated features are multi-currency and travel, with no rewards scheme named. The card keeps its cost low with a monthly fee of THB 0 and a currency conversion fee of 0% instead. It is a utility card for currency handling rather than a rewards card.
