Hehe din realise I din disclose that Mall..It is located at LG of Mid-Valley Megamal...

Where is the best place to change HKD? I check at Plaza Central is RM44.50 change with HKD100. Any better rate?

To those who want to change RM to SGD...
If you've been to JB, you'll notice that the rates of RM to SGD is fixed around JB (Discountable though if you have large amounts)..
in Sing, the rates however are not fixed. Most of the time however, the rates in SG is better than the rates in RM especially if you go to City hall (commercial district)..
For example, if rate is 221.00 in JB (currently) and you're changing a few K, you'll probably get 222.00
but if you change in city hall most likely you can get about 222.70

DO NOT go to the money exchange counter at 1 Utama (the one near the Maybank ATM machine). I went to Pakistan and changed my Rupees at Sg. Wang (the best one is near the middle shops, not big ones or the one near the extrance, can't remember the name though). anyway, the exchange rate was ok (RM1=Rp0.5). When I came back with some Rp left I changed at 1 Utama. Since most of the shops do not have Pakistani Rupees rate displayed, and I was in a hurry. After I arrived home I found out they only gave me RM1=Rp0.32. I was furious and went back and gave them a thorough lesson on integrity and honestly, with many customers watching. They just acted stupid until I asked for their business card and said I would file an official complain. They suddenly retreated and gave me back RM19 !! FYI my exchange loss due to their dishonesty was more than RM200.

Thanks for warning. I assume you forgot to check on the spot cos u were hurrying?

I'm going to Spore next month. Is better to change in spore or KL? Anyone know the current rate?

It would be better if you change it in Spore as they provide higher exchange rate compare to KL, majority people change their RM to SGD at woodlands cause of higher overturns and competitive market.

If you have malaysian friends working in singapore then i will suggest you to exchange with them cause end of the day they will still come to JB and change their SGD to RM. So it's a win win situation

is this a good time to change for Australia $? I already survey the exchange rate these few days and to my astonishment, the AU$ dropped from 2.95 to 2.81 in just 2 days!!! wah could it drop till 2.70?

guess it will drop to.. maybe.. 2.78 or 2.75. earlier in june it was 2.85. then in july went all the way up to 2.97. lolz..

May I know what's your best exchange rate for Indonesian Rupiah?

I checked the rate last weekend, 1 million Rp for RM375 compared to 2 weeks back 1 million Rp for RM385.

When do u usually change the currency? Near departure date?

May I know what is the latest exchange rate for Baht? The exchange rate calculator from Maybank website only showing at 8.6. Is it really that low?

Try wawasanmoneychanger.com.my =)

What's the best place to exchange for buy or sell US currencies now and its rate? Anyone?

Thanks!

wawasan is offers quite good rate, considering they're in MV, convenient!

for Malaccan, best rate can be acquired at the moneychanger near Madam King..a small shop (in a coffee shop). offer quite good rate in Melaka...cheaper than the one in Mahkota...

Suggest you check out the Mid-Valley Money changer at LG.

Should be about RM10.20 to RM10.50 for Bath 100/-. If you are the the Thai Border like Chunglung/Hatyai then it would be better there.

In Bangkok the rates is pretty lousy. Better rates if you change form US to Bath.

hey guys!!! i need your advice!

I will be leaving for UK on the 26th of september, and i need around 500 sterling pounds.

I have monitored the exchange rate for the past few weeks and the pounds exchange rate is really levelling, day by day...

i am willing to buy the pounds if the rate is somewhere below 7.05 but looking at the situation now, i doubt whether i can get such price.

Any speculation for the pound rate, of whether it will continue to rise or drop?? or any advice regarding what is the best rate for me to start buying, looking at the fact that i do not hv sufficient time to continue speculating the rate.

thanks!

can i use my Maybank ATM card in European countries to withraw Euros?

What are the conditions required and what are the fees that i might need to pay?

Oh, thanks for the heads up!

By the way, is it better to change at banks or money changers as i'm going to singapore soon

hi fren, going to paang indonesia,

The exchange rate topic oledi been pinned.

For sure the rate in KLIA or even at any airport will be very pricy!..Change at any money changer recomended in the above pinned topic....look out for the on on the Basement 1 centre court mid Valley- "Wawasan"
