Not in these numbers
- The load rate is "an exchange rate determined by the branch"; no margin is published, so the comparison leaves it out.
- SBI's own fee for replacing a lost card is not in the current schedule (an old user guide gave USD 5 plus courier); no declined-transaction fee is published. No insurance is published.
- Not usable in India, Nepal or Bhutan.
