Exchange Rate - Part 2

[Obviouslylah]

Our starbuck card can use there or not?

Cannot. Need to buy.

 

[wenguang]

wow, cool.
Trust card is visa,
so over there i can use it on any ATM?

Yes.

Today made a purchase
Rate 22.67

 

[kaysee]

Saw someone last week say Bishan j8 rate good. Pass by today so went to see. 21.27 lol

Can forget local money changers. Highest I saw is only around 21.4

If use fintech cards in Taiwan, can easily get above 22.6 on average. Even changing at Taiwan money changers cannot get such rates.

Change minimal amount to cash. Most of the time can use the cards. Visa, Mastercard and Easy card are widely available. Only small stalls, like night markets, prefer cash. Some small stalls got no card machines but they accept Line Pay.

On another note, seems like Trust card has better rates compared to Youtrip card.

my Citi credit card's rates turned out to be better than that of the SG money changer I went to...

I'm gonna use Trust Card to withdraw at the ATMs there,
but someone suggest draw minimal cash....
my concern is even if those places that accept cards, not sure if Trust card is usable....

 

[Joelleyuan]

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

Wah I'm so impressed with this Trust Card.
i withdrawed twd10k first, then checked my Trust app, and it showed sgd 440.60 pending.
Meaning the exchange rate is 22.69!
am i correct??
then i went on to withdraw another 13k, since I'm gonna pay the hotel in cash.

i don't have credit card. Mine is considered debit card bah.
although the atm option is select "credit card", the following option there's a "savings account" option.
Anyway instantly can see from Trust app the amount in SGD they gonna deduct, is great.

I applied for Trust credit card from the app. So when I withdraw from ATM must choose savings account? Means I must open a savings account and link to Trust card?

when you apply trust cc, u never open trust saving account after that?

 

[martin]

No. There was no continued instruction after i successfully applied for the card. So i must do that?
