Hi all, there is a megabank near to exit 4 of ximending station. Remember to bring passport if exchange currency. Today's rate at the bank is 21.82

There are many banks in XMD but only major banks carry SGD. just go straight for Taiwan bank or Megabank

There are also currency exchange at those big department malls. Exchange rate is better than hotels. 21.15

If all else fails, locate a 7-11 and you may withdrawn money from there if you have a ATM card with Plus/Cirrus. There will be an additional charge of NT100.

If you can locate a DBS bank, then the withdrawal fees are waived.

Credit cards are not so widely accepted :((( and do expect an admin fee even if they do

Airport counters are open everyday. Banks in towns are weekdays only.

Hello :) I just got back from Taiwan. I have nt39,300 to change at a rate of 22. If interested, please pm me :) I have a lot of ntd leftovers because we initially want to pay for hotels using cash, but decided it's more worth it to use cc to earn airmiles. meet up at any mrt stations between outram park and eunos


Hi! I'm interested but I unable to send PM due to post count. Please sms me at 8 seven nine 8 , nine one 91
