Aiyo guys, small matter don't get too excited lah ya.
Ya, I hear the advices here Singapore rate isn't good, so I only changes SGD500 for my 7D trip to Taipei. If it's better at Taoyuan airport then maybe I changed somemore. Btw, I read above some saying it's better to change SGD to USD in Singapore first, bring USD to Taipei change to TWD. Correct???

Not any USD, so will not advise you on that.
Too cheem for you.

So you are the few kiasu ones who change locally knowinn you lose about 50ntd for every 100sgd?

 

[calkel20]

Too cheem for you and doubt you will be able to understand.
Coz if you do wrongly, you end up losing more than gaining.
So for your case, change in Taiwan is your remedy to make up for your loss.

So change at taiwan or sg better? Got a frd came back from taiwan and told me the rate at airport is bad and ask me change in sg instead

Are you changing millions of dollars or hundreds of thousands?

Got a friend bringing 10 of Ks there after knowing how to maximize the rates.

Alright. Thanks to many many. I read last two page and I will be bring cash there to change. Not even to withdraw there.

Avg NTD50 for SGD100? Thats quite a bit.

Imagine you change SGD 5000, thats like NTD2500 which is around SGD113?

They accept Japanese Yen as well right?
I’m thinking of bringing my Yen there to change NTD.

Yes they do.
But you may wanna compare if it is actually better to do yen to ntd or sgd to ntd.

I've been monitoring every few days lately coz my trip is next mth. I noticed that in SG, the rates are slowly creeping up again (was 21.1 last week, yesterday 21.3), while megabank rates are very very slowly dipping (was 21.8x last week, yesterday 21.79).

Wonder if the trend continues like that, by the time I go, both places the rates will be agar agar same rate liao?

But what I would suggest to people who are heading to tw soon to seriously just keep checking both sides on your own instead of keep asking here... Make your own decision. Calkel bro already given the URLs for you to check, and they are updated everyday. So you can make your own informed decision.

You need to go DBS.
Their administrative fee is 100ntd, min or 1% whichever is higher.
Do you want to waste your time to go there?
