Just curious do you guys still exchange TWD in Singapore first? Or you will bring SGD to exchange in Taiwan itself? I have heard some recommending certain credit cards which allow free or very low fees when withdrawing money in Taiwan.

I haven't been to Taiwan for more than 4 years. So I am curious what is a good way now? I also dont really want to end up too much TWD on hand, feeling wasteful uncertain how soon I may go Taiwan again.

Atms are everywhere in the cities. Just look for megabank or bank of taiwan. These 2 have no processing fees.

But take note youtrip and revolut will start charging up to a certain limit. Trust card does not have this limit.

ATM should be easily available at most 便利商店？I checked the youtrip limit, it says S$400 per calendar month, should be enough for me.
