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.

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...)

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...

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!!
