Whats the best exchange rate from money changers for the USD and Euro? Based on todays price, ive got a money changer offering 3.092 for the USD

i need to know the best money changer around KL/PJ to get Euro.

U wanna save then dont go to Australia now. The currency is really strong now. Already passed USD since last week.

Even though EURO has dropped today, all money changers are still maintaining last weeks rates. Crap!

Euro now trading at 4.264 from 4.28 yesterday on XE and yet money changers still not changing their rates. Damn!

I dont think so. See my calculations below:

RM$ 10,000 to USD to Euro

RM10,000 = US$ 3,236 (based on exchange of 3.09)
US$3,236 = Euro$ 2,297 (based on exchange of 0.71)

RM10,000 to Euro

RM10,000 = Euro$ 2,317 (based on Wawasan exchange of 4.315)

its Baht

Wawasan is still refusing to bring down rates for the Euro. Even though Euro is trading at 4.19 on XE, Wawasan is still maintaining 4.22. previously the difference between their rates and XE was only about 0.01

Euro rates on XE now are 4.135 and Wawasan still at 4.18

Whats the best Euro rates for today?

XE will be easier. They have auto updates to your desktop.

Not really true. When i worked overseas, i used to change foreign currency everytime i came home for holidays. On my occasions, i have obtained better rates than even XE.

Let me share this info. There is no such thing as 'cheapest money changer'. The rates are always dependent on 2 factors:

1) the standings of that money changer in the hierarchy of their credit line meaning the higher they are to the top the better the rates as commission levels are smaller

2) the amount of the particular currency traded and the amount of stock available

Thats why u will see some money changers having better rates for 1 currency while having poorer rates for other currencies. For instance, if you monitor Wawasan ull see that his Euro rates are quite competitive even when u compare against money changers at The Curve, KL Sentral, Masjid India and 1U. But his UK Pound rates for instance are quite poor compared to these other places.

So u need to choose money changers based on the currency you wish to trade. Always scout around as the 2 factors mentioned above will change over time. For me, i have a network of about 12 money changers which i will use to compare currencies before purchasing.

Of course its common knowledge that well traded currencies will get better rates.

Isnt it always better to change directly rather than do an indirect change and pay more commission?

Their website already non operational. Are they still around or stopped?? Any other good money changers around Damansara?

What's the best available rates in KL / Selangor for USD today? If the rates are good, I might buy about USD20K.
