Probably you need to be a money changer or a bank operator b4 u can deal direct wth Bank Negara...

juz wanna ask if use Credit card in other countries...How it was calculated? The rate of the bank or what?

exchange rate of the bank.. no other charges..

recently korean won and singapore dollar increase many .. scary me ...

the singapore dollar whats the rate now.......?.....and whats the lowest rate......?
might be going to singapore this december and need to know th rates........

the rate is determined by via/master network not of the bank since the transaction is done in their network.
it was mentioned in the first few pages in this thread.

would like to ask which currency catch higher/better rate if i would like change my currency in sg? definitely not RM

What about RMB (China Money)

normally i change my currency in KL plaza...marabakh...quite good rate

Im planning a trip to HK with my friends. Is it better to change my yen to HK dollar or RM to HK dollar? WHich way will i get better value?

Thanks

Depending, just do some research by googling current market rate & comnpoare wth wawasasn sentosa mioney changer rate..(As posted by joeylyn)...if rate bad, just change in HK. using yen.

Just like Taiwan, vietnamese dong & peso Phillipine..Not worth changing in malaysia bcos rate so bad...easier to change 1st to US$ & thereafter change at the respective country...(Not all hor...)

but the rate shown in internet will not be same as the rate when i change at the mney changer right?

SHould i check the bank selling rate as reference?

bank selling rates are always much higher than those money changer!

agak-agak only-lah..money changer for sure need to survive via commission but sometime dsue to lack of demand on certain currency, the commission here in Malaysia really siao-siao wan...normally i fthye rate too out from market, I will change a bulk of it to USD 1st & thereafter to the country currency when I reached. I only can a smalll amount of ~RM100 to that currency for emergency purposes only.

just do abit of homework...

but if agak agak not accurate then wont be much difference right?

cuz im sure the exchange rates between different country wont differ alot right? maybe rm1 or 2 like dat?

Added on November 9, 2009, 2:48 pmcertain currency that are badly traded in malaysia is not RM1 or RM2 diff.even at RM0.50 diff is also a lot dy if u are converting >RM1,000..for eg..let say avg RM1=USD3.5, but the money changer asking for RM4

if u change RM1000, u lost almost RM40 liao. well if u change RNM2000, u lost RM80 & so on...

so it's up to u, certain ppl dun mind the RM40/RM1000 but certainm ppl do...but when u face wth problem for eg...Vietnam dong not all changer wanted to change, and once u find one, the xchange rate diff between market is so huge...I remember RM1=8000 vietnamese dong early last year but getting from money changer here, RM1= 5000 dong..You lost 3000 dong straight away!!
