I going to UK soon and found that bank offer better rate compare with money changers. The problem is bank do not have currency notes of most of the countries.

So I have an idea of getting travellers cheque from the Maybank which provide better rate rather than exchange with money changer.

hmm really?
which bank?

Current market rate for NT to RM is ~ RM1.003 to NT$10 & the best here as u said is at RM-10.4

You can get better rate even after paying double commission by converting to US$ first & thereafter at Taipei airport, convert to NT$

When I went to Taipei last year, the market rate was at RM10.55 but most of the money changer here charging RM11.00. I converted to US$ ^ thereafter to NT$ wth avg rate at RM10.60..saving me RM0.40 for each Nt$

but how did u know the market rate was lower than our exchange rate?
does it apply to taipei only?
or other places as well..

B4 u do that, also check the US$ offer by bangkok money changer..i'm not sure any..If after converting to US$ & re-convert back, you can get ~ 10bath to RM1.. I think it will be good deal but if after converting you are getting ~ 10bath for RM1.02 or even RM1.03..might as well do it here..

I am going to hk soon so i just tried comparing HKD
BNM 41.3076
wawasan 41.5

Scenario 1: MRY -HKD
RM5000 =HKD 12048.19

Scenario 2: MYR-USD-HKD
RM5000 = USD1557.63
According to hk bank rate if i sell USD its 7.72
so USD1557.63 X 7.72 = 12024.90 + Commission charges

So i guess wif that small a gap its not worth changing to USD.

But if its Thai baht then i guess its worth changing

thai baht:
BNM 9.95
Wawasan 10.30

Scenario 1=MYR-THB
RM5000= THB48543.69

Scenario 2-MYR-USD-THB
RM5000=USD1557.63

Thai bank rate 32.04= 49406.47

Indeed u get much more for certain currencies..

Not sure if i did the right calculations but i use BNM / wawasan ./ foreign bank bill buy rate.
