I have taken quite a number of Uber rides in Singapore, but found that my local bank charges me a foreign currency conversion fee for my fares.

I searched the Uber Singapore website but found nothing on this practice. I checked with my bank and was told that a foreign entity was charging my credit card in Singapore dollars.

Why is Uber processing my local payment overseas? Shouldn't it have a local bank account or local processing centre if it's operating legally in Singapore?
