it seems that wawasan sentosa money changer, charge a rate of 2.86 for KRW, guess it would be the same if change in Penang here. i guess

Look at the update date

29/9/11 that's the last Wawasan in business before they facing some licensing problem wth Authority. Right now, the exact spot Wawasan vacated mths ago and now money master

I was there this Morning.. Seem like business rather quiet there compare to MV money changer at the corner. Both displayed the same Korean won i.e 2.83 so do the one inside NZ magazine store.

since i am in Penang now, i have searched through various shopping mall near Komtar area, and have found that the money changer at ground floor of Prangin mall should be the cheapest of all I asked around that area. the name for the money changer is Cairns Multirade sdn bhd which sell KRW in only 2.80 ( should be the most cheapest in the town, but more importantly, it is even cheaper than the one in Midvalley.)

as i remember my friend told me that nowadays KRW rate is rising, and without a doubt, after knowing that it is 2.80 selling, i buy it for RM1500 because I guess it is nearly impossible to get a < 2.80 in current time.

Anyone can suggest me best money changer.. Going to singapore next week.. Wanna change rm10k

Heard from my friends said that if we withdraw money in south korea, the currency rates plus the service charge imposed will be still more worthy compared to when we change it here in Malaysia.

Eg: Maybank charge a RM12 service charge while other banks such as standard chartered charge RM5 , citibank is the best as it does not charge any extra fees.

anyone can clarify that?

SGD just went up to 2.50 +/- range.

You can try Working in Singapore thread and ask them for COD at JB/SG. Get middle rate buy/sell, win-win for both. Assuming rate does not fluctuate too much between this and next week.

FYI, I failed withdrawing out using my maybank ATM at few ATMs in Seoul eventhough I hv activated my oversea witdrawal. Really dunno why

hi, what is the rate for euro now? thanks.

mv rm3.95

Change here. Rate in MV is about 10.15 BUY now.
I exchange nearby KLCC at 10.17 BUY since I'm around here.

I thought the most competitive rate is in midvalley lower ground floor near escalator?

I need to buy USD, is anyone happen to have one so we both can get a better rate??

I dont think anyone are having it at here.....

No more dy Even the money changer inside NZ magazine store closer to Jusco supermarket side in MV cheaper than the one in ctr court LG level of MV ..Otherwise much better rate at Bkt Bintang area or some say Mejid India

anyway which i can do to reduce the loss ?

Thanks for advice !

assuming the rate doesn't move, you will ALWAYS lose money. Otherwise how the money changers make money? They are operating a business not a charity

wait the currency up then only sell.
