no specific just google & just check the avg wth the one posted in wawasan http://www.wawasanmoneychanger.com.my/exchangeRates.asp ..if almsot similar, it's safe to change here...otherwise if the diff is huge, changing there using other than RM probably better

10 mins ago i just changed USD at RM338 per 100 USD at Public Bank at Bukit Bintang (the branch which is opposite of KL plaza)!

suprising cheap & matching money changer rate...well done PBB...

Guys, is it advisable for me to take cash 2000gbp to change it at wawasan? do you think they gonna offer me better rate?

tried the one near maybank ? or is it the same one I'm referring to ? heard it's quite reasonable.

I think we are talking about the same one..

the one which is opposite of KL plaza, next door to Millennium hotel

Guys,

I'm going to dubai this Friday..need to exchange MYR to AED (Dirham)
Any good Money Changer around KL that gives good rate of AED?

Thanks.

i do not know where is kl plaza sorry > < ..but i guess should be the exact one we're referring to

also can use http://www.xe.com/ucc as a reference for exchange rates.

my favourite are those 2 Money Changers in Midvalley near the escalators, middle court .. they offers competitive selling rates .. buying rate are almost the same everywhere ..

i want to change rm to sgd

so is it advisable to change to usd first in malaysia then to sgd in singapore?

I changed RM338 into USD100 aka i bring RM338 to change into USD100 at PBB.. but now USD strengthened so you cant get the rate edi

Now thaibaht is going up liao. YEAH!

does visa and amex credit card providers charge admin fees when using their credit cards overseas?

Yes, i also suggest the midvalley (near escalator)..got 2 money changer...both are good..check the rate for both first..

And for those who are planning to do arbitrage (change to other currency before changing to the currency that you want to get more 'profit')...might not happen since the rate will become equilibrium (so that no one will make arbitrage profit out of nothing)...and u might end up losing some money too...

My advise...just change ur currency by going for a good rate.

Yes, Amex/Visa/MC do charge for admin, surcharge on top on exchange rates. Amex was the highest which is 2.5%. Its vary from bank to bank.
