Hi,

Can we withdraw money from DBS ATM in Taiwan, using our DBS ATM/Debit card?

Is there a service charge involved, like usually the SGD5 imposed when you withdraw local currency in foreign banks overseas.

And what's the exchange rate like?

Exchange rate should be similar to what ICBC or BoT is offering..And yes $5 service charge per transaction if i remember correctly..

Make sure ur card has the cirrus logo behind(Most modern card has it)

There is no $5 service charge.

Can be found here at the bottom of the page:
dbs.com/sg/personal/cards/debit-card/visa-takashimaya/default.aspx

Please note:
2. Cash withdrawal at DBS Hong Kong and DBS Taiwan ATMs will be free of charge.

That is something like 1SGD = 23.26NTD.
The exchange rate is higher than in Singapore.

That might be due to the higher rates over there last week..

Rates this week might or rather is lower..

Suggest that u head to a money changer to get it change..Usually when short of cash then do withdraw or sign CC..

So, it's pretty clear that DBS Taiwan Money Exchange has better rates compared to those in Singapore.

However, how about if we use our DBS Singapore ATM card to withdraw NTD in DBS Taiwan's ATMs? Anyone knows?

Appreciate your help. I have just activated my card for overseas usage.

assuming rate remains status quo, i read somewhere in this forum that rate for cash withdrawal via atm is not that gd. Only cash exchg over counter is gd.

I believe there is an age requirement if I remember correctly.

Its either 16,18 or 21.

If you can change your SGD at banks, can try to change them at hotels(e.g. Rainbow hotel at XiMenDing). But at a lousier rate.
