Exchange Rate - Part 2

[Joelleyuan]

Thanks for the advice! Just to clarify, at these two specific banks' ATMs, there won’t be any extra fees or charges for using the Trust card, even for a withdrawal of around 2,000 SGD worth of TWD? Really appreciate your help!

Just make sure you choose "savings account" when withdrawing from the Bank Of Taiwan ATM. No fees for any amount. and their ATM is right outside the arrival door when you collect your luggage and get out. very convenient.
and also see carefully it's the BOT ATM, not some currency exchange machine.
