Exchange Rate - Part 2

[Seifer28]

can i check if anyone have managed to withdraw or exchange twd via DBS bank in taiwan? do they have fees included?


for revolut card, do you make multiple small withdrawals? or one big withdrawl? understand the withdrawal fee is free for first 350sgd and 2% charge for >350sgd? thanks!

DBS bank in TW - 1% txn fee if you exchange currency over the counter

For revolut, if you are holding the basic card, just withdraw 7000 TWD at 1 go.... because you will finish spending it in no time

Use bank of taiwan at airport, no atm fee for withdrawal using revolut. I withdraw 7000 NTD.

In this case, do you need to make multiple withdrawals cause there is a limit each time? Cause 7000NTD can be finished in 2-3 days.

Nope for my 12 days in taiwan. Majority spend is via linepay or cc. Everything else like hsr/train, admission tickets, lodging all paid online or using cc. Even transfer fr cingjing to taichung paid via klook. Only small eateries n roadside stall and px mart paid via cash which dun really uses much cash. Carrefour can pay using cc too. Food gifts like chia de use cc too. Some places only accept cc only eg. wagashi bakery.

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.
