yes good question. or maybe he is saying buy straight in a foreign fund but wouldn't conversion be based on bank rates and we all know bank rates are expensive

Actually I found a rather cheap way to move funds. Bitcoins. But it all depends on BTC/USD movement.

Yes,... bro, onshore, money-changer is the cheapest,... :thumbsup: you have to think of ways on how to convert out using the cheapest way, and then reconvert back if you needed the funds in RM, again using the cheapest way without the institution eating too many pips.

Yes. We know that (money changer being the cheapest). The question is what other "ways" are consider cheap?

I want to know the cheapest way to transfer money out other than money changer for someone who have no priority banking (even if I have the money, I won't go for priority banking as it waste my resources)

From my research,
(i) money-changer
(ii) bitcoins

I fell hopeless with current MYR value...any chances it will go to under RM3.8 in near day?

Nope. Unless US stand to default it's borrowing/a repeat of 2008.

An all out trade war with China could be interesting.

Emm,... let's see,... I too groped in the dark many years ago. Today,.. I would do it this way,...

I would open a DBS MCA Account - STILL CAN OPEN. SEE MY PRINCE'S POSTING IN THE 'SGX COUNTERS' THREAD.

I would change my currency into the SGD (or USD, or whatever else) at Mid-Valley after booking my rates there.

I would arrange for holidays to Singapore with family-members. I would handcarry the SGD to Sgp since I'm going there for holidays anyway with family members, relatives and friends. Please remember to follow the Customs regulation : Not more than USD10K per person per trip. Don't break rules, bro,...

I would bank-in the excess SGD notes into my MCA which I have not used in my holidays in Sgp..

But that's just me,... since I go to Sgp regularly,...

Otherwise, you need to TT,... But TT'ing is killing because of the exchange rate imposed by the banks..

I see. So you are still using the money changer route. Guess I will need to make a trip there once year.

Actually you can get your family to carry your money too. One person USD10k, 4 people USD40k already. whistling.gif
