Exchange Rate - Part 2

[kaysee]

Rate is the same as the board rate at airport.
So it can been checked online to compare.
So as most bros and sis say use revolut or youtrip.

I think maybe it's the time spent queuing in the bank bah... I nv try queuing in their bank before... Hahaha

Ya lor, If got damn good rates, then. will queue.
If not, I will standby and change if really runs out of money.

Ah okay. I guess I'll top up $4k into my youtrip and then start to just find bank of Taiwan atm to withdraw money?

The pin of the card is the 4 digit pin I use to key in when logging into the app right?

Just checked suntec money changer rates it's 21.3 only. Super low.

i'd suggest that you just topup $900 everytime on the fly when you need to withdraw
since per withdrawal is max. 20k NTD and its ~$900 after you include $5 withdrawal fees
and it doesn't matter which bank's ATM you withdraw frm.... since the exchange rate is subjective to Youtrip's mastercard wholesale rate and not the ATM you withdraw from

 

[naxchua]

by the way, please do not travel without some local currencies... cos once u reach airport, u have no data, need to buy data... need to buy easycard if u r taking airport express mrt (trip fare NT$160) to Taipei main station...

As i always say, go holiday is to enjoy and not get into any ordeal... Hahahaha

definitely. confirm have a few hundred on hand just in case.
so it's a good idea to buy the simcard from klook and straight away can collect in either T1 or T2.

commuter and express same price so is better to take express if you want to go to taipei main station directly. Waiting time estimate 15mins. Usually I will just take to Taoyuan HSR first see see look look already then take HSR to Taipei main.

Cool! Thanks for the tips. Meaning to say that I'll have to run atm multiple times throughout the trip haha. Cause I'm catering expenses for 5 pax.

BTW my brother just arrived Taipei this evening. Money changer rate before immigration is 22.15 subject to 30NTD admin fees.

I'll just change sufficient money at taoyuan airport once I arrive just in case.

ATM is available everywhere in convenience stores like family mart and 7-11 which is also basically everywhere in Taiwan
Whenever you need cash, just drop by a convenience store and you can do your withdrawal

i have just return from taiwan. Trust card atm withdrawal is a perfect solution. Good exchange rate, 0 atm fee, withdraw in any atm any amount.

Remember to switch ur card link to saving account instead of credit card to prevent it to be tag as cash advance. Of course, ur saving account must have money for atm deduction

If you have trustbank card, use it. just switch the link to saving account. the rate is much better than the exchanger. i got 22.5 on average, verse 22.1 with money exchanger beside the atm

any bank is okay, but there are a lot of atm machine look alike that is meant for currency exchange, it is not the one.

T2 arrival exit out of immigration, half left there is a money exchanger stall towards the end, beside it has atm.

But i suggest you to withdraw with trust card to save the $5. Also always choose do not convert by the bank's rate or choose convert later (search DCC withdrawal)

Their starbuck card has no expiry too. Checked my card which was bought 15 yrs ago still can use credit inside. Staff say as long as card does not crack...
