Exchange Rate

my fren who is going tmr said his sister checked n its only 22. as of tdy.

Currently, the rate is going at 22.17 at one of the moneychangers in Acrade in Raffles Place.

By the way, you can avoid paying the S$5 service for cash withdrawal in Taiwan by using your DBS/POSB ATM Card at DBS ATM in Taiwan.

before i went taiwan i read about the higher rates there.

but i still changed some in singapore. because typical kiasee mentality.

but the rate is really much better there. singapore money changers are just shortchanging us.

imagine my credit card rate was exactly the same as singapore money changer rate.

I read that there is a admin fee of NT$30/- for changing notes at Taoyuan airport. Is this a fixed fee or different amount applies to different admin fee? Also, I read that someone mentioned not to change money at Taoyuan airport on weekends. Why? very crowded, insufficient notes? I'm arriving Taoyuan airport on Saturday, possible to change money there?

Thank you.

i will be on my company trip, on Singapore Airlines. regarding the new notes, i don think anybody will take in old notes already? becos my colleague who went earlier received an old note and was unable to use or exchange it.
