Maybe the nearest for these people are MV.

CIMB travel currency give better rate than most exchange anyway.
Can pickup at airport some more.

the Touch n Go Visa card... . (just to be clear to those that confused with the normal tng card) All visa card use the same conversion rate. The only difference is the bank fees.

U change small amount memang no difference. Ppl change big amount RM50k-100k, the difference is huge

Starling or 1U got what to buy compared MV? Most foreigners like to shop at MV compared to those places. If want good rate who da fark go change money at shopping malls?

MV has the best rates in whole of KL. Alot ppl think outside shop better rates but no. Even 1u money changer the rate like shit. Foreigners go MV because there is a huge selection of shops there , even 1U lose

I got 2 friends earning SGD kena.... never ever went money changer or bring >5000 cash again, all bank transfer from SGD directly to RM bank accounts

1. 8pm car park in front of Standard Charted(Y2020 Myvi T-bone that branch), walk behind alley to eat dinner, back car saw glass shards on seat, check and found rear triangular windows shattered, rear door unlocked, school bag under seat gone, inside SGD6000+(bonus before CNY) and student books

2. near 10pm alighted from BUS, walk back to home(less 8mins), halfway, dark Waja stop, 2 man walk towards, suddenly take out PARANG, yes 2 man equipped PARANG, tooked purse, took watch, took bag(inside SGD4500). this same unlucky friend also kena before after transact at money changer roadside shop, walk out to get car kena pushed fall down snatched his purse(around Rm3000 gone), lucky Rm2000 still in his pocket.

since then, whenever my friends mentioned about work in SG, i would suggest, recomend, persuade, convince them direct transfer.... If less than SGD1K cash can carry la....

This is what we call stupid. Never ever leave cash in the car. I always change big amount at MV. Normally RM20k if asia trip. If europe trip i will change RM50k, no issues . Just drive back hope immediately. No stopping anywhere

In this day & age I don’t how money changer can still survive. Just use your CC or debit go withdraw at the country you’re in. Or just swipe your card. Or u Wise.

Best place to rob esp those with big sum. With ewallet, prepaid cards, wise, bigpay etc, why is there a need to carry big sum of foreign currencies? Inviting trouble. Go back home straight could also be stop halfway if robbers have been eyeing u near moneychanger.
