Yest I went, some shops 21.16... Doesn't make that much of a difference I guess.
I going in Nov, gonna wait out a bit more...
i flying around few months later, shall wait more ...
hope by then would get better ...
Wanted to confirm this.
THe DBS website states that withdrawal from DBS TW ATMs is free for some Mastercard cards - the POSB Go card is in that category. This means that it is cheaper to do an ATM withdrawal, than exchange physically at the branch where there is a fee? And ATMs can be accessed during weekends as well.

Taipei airport rates
20.98 airport plus a deduction of 30ntd per transaction.
So the trick is consolidate and change all at A time.
Thanks! With the 1% transaction fee, it should still be better to do ATM, notwithstanding the difference in the SG and TW rate, and esp changing in small amounts.

Wah keeps dropping sia.
Looking forward to your update on whether based on SG or TW DBS rate.
Yup... flying in next few months, think shall wait and see ...
probably tml might get below 21
Just called the DBS hotline. They said it is based on the card provider's rate and not DBS' exchange rate.
Just did a quick search of Mastercard's rate. It is about 21.41 (using their online calculator), which is even higher than DBS TW at 21.226!
Hopefully there's no hidden catch which i have missed.
Do you have the website's reference?

Anyone still go dbs at Taipei to exchange?
Used the online calculator from the mastercard website.

By the way, DBS told me TWD is converted to USD first, before to SGD. I compared with direct conversion, the rate isnt much different.
No longer for me. I head to arcade for most exchange.
