Any recomendation for money changer center in kl? I wan change rupiah... please help... thanks ya...

Just now back from Pavilion to Sg Wang, I wanted change SGD and Sterling Pound.... All say no more stock for AUD, YEN, SGD, AUD, Pound, NZD.... Dunno truth or not... Haiz....

lower ground mid valley

wawasan beside escalator and san Francisco coffee

I think due to Yen dropping so much for the past few weeks, they not dare to sell to much yen. Worry price dropped further kua? If 37.10 is the selling rate..It's dirt cheap dy bcos BNM closing at 36.86. Here in Puchong price ranging from 37.3 till 37.8 wth Carrefour Puchong offering the best rate at 37.3

mid valley has got 2 which give the best rates.

Wawasan Sentosa no longer doing business....

Thanks all...
By the way,may I know where is the money changer in mid valley?

semua house also got

Use3d to be 2 there on LG Ctr court. just beside San Fransico but Wawasan no longer exist. So left wth one i.e MV Money changer. Wawasan has another related partner inside NZ margazine shop not far from jusco Supermarket.

Anyway, ever since wawasan no more in biz, The money changers there are no longer really great & reasonable..Try Bkt bintang for the best rate. But if you are staying far from town, just change at any nearest to you.. the diff of ~ RM10-RM20 for each RM1K you change you might save fro the parking, fuel & toll coming to KL

i want to buy indo rupiah today...so i've checked http://biz.thestar.com.my/business/exchange.asp today

SELLING TT/OD BUYING TT BUYING OD
100 INDONESIAN RUPIAH 0.0340 0.0323 0.0273

so if i go to any xchange i'll be expecting 1million = RM323 and lower?

p/s not sure TT or OD means

Use the selling or TT/OD rate.. Today Maybank Qouting RM340 for every 1mil ruppiah..BNM is qouting RM332 http://www.bnm.gov.my/statistics/exchangerates.php
So if you go Money changer aother than Maybank, most probably ~ RM334 or RM335

I told you...the best option only bank now got a lot of yen..but with a more expensive rate...i already search around still maybank with the lowest rate compare to cimb and bank islam where their rate around 37.60 - 37.90 per thousand yen..i dunno y suddenly it seem everyone go crazy about yen..i can see a lot of Won stock but not yen..

I suspect those Money Changers are buying cheap Yen and stock it till the rate increase further..darmit

1) Thanks stimix....last time i went to indonesia was like in 2010 , not a frequent flyer as i wish but the rates last time was 1million = 351 so the rates now sounds good in favoring malaysians

2) also read USD is about RM3 = 1 USD today , which is awesome , coz dives in Bali are charged in USD from what i read on the net/discussed with a friend

SELLING
TT/OD BUYING
TT BUYING
OD
Units of Malaysian ringgit per unit of foreign currency:
1 US DOLLAR 3.0410 2.9790 2.9690

RM gained against all major curencies since 3 wks ago..So far the best dropped is not US$ buy Japanese Yen..3 wks ago, it was ~1000yen to 40.15..now Only 37.3.

But I dun think that selling rate by Maybank really what they selling. They actually much higher than that

I went to MV for currency exchange back in last weekend and the rate I got for euro is 4.04 and pound is at 4.84. Pretty good rate I must say as compared to Maybank.

please tell what's the yen rate in Mid valley? =)

I was there Yesterday Nite haha. Rate at the LG Ctr court MV Forex wth long que!! = 37.50 and inisde NZ magazine store = 37.40. I changed there.
Expecting to rise Today bcos Yesterday closing BNM rate was at 37.16 from last Friday 36.92

Gotta get some euro soon.

Ringgit moves toward 6-month high

2012/03/06

Malaysia’s ringgit rose toward a six-month high after data showed global funds boosted their holdings of the nation’s equities for a fifth month in February.

Overseas investors bought RM1.3 billion (US$431 million) more of the securities than they sold, according to figures published yesterday on the Kuala Lumpur stock exchange’s website. Service industries in the U.S., the world’s biggest economy, unexpectedly grew in February at the fastest pace in a year, according to a report yesterday. Signs of improvement in the global economy are spurring demand for higher-yielding assets, helping developing nations attract funds.

The ringgit strengthened 0.3 percent to 3.0115 per dollar as of 9:06 a.m. in Kuala Lumpur, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. It has gained 5.4 percent this year and touched 2.9873 on March 1, the strongest level since Sept. 9.

“We expect foreign investors to keep increasing investments in Malaysia,” said Akira Banno, a treasury adviser at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Bhd in Kuala Lumpur. “The ringgit will try to touch the 3.00 level again this week.”

Five-year government bonds advanced yesterday. The yield on the 4.262 percent notes due September 2016 fell four basis points to 3.20 percent, according to Bursa Malaysia. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point. -- Bloomberg
