So you changed at DBS Taiwan before? Is it all DBS branches or certain branches which allows us to change? I called them and the guy told me is all branches and I have yet to confirm. Is the rate same as shown on the website? If yes, i think this is the highest rate so far among all the banks.

I went to Arcade yesterday around 5pm , MM, hassin & Son and one more shop with 23.7 rates do not have anymore NT.

But when you come up from escalator, there is a exchange counter with no sign board still under renovation I guess, the rates there seems to have better 23.72. The receipt states Far East Exchange.

Went to Arcade today at around 5pm. Most shops were either sold out or offering 23.6 to 23.7. Only People's Corner was offering 23.78 so I just changed on the spot. No choice... :o

Rate for ATM withdrawal is poorer.

In March this year, the rate for ATM withdrawal in Taipei was about 22.6-22.7 with S$5 charge. I went to other bank ATM as there are only a few DBS branches around and are out of the way. No choice as last day of trip on a weekend, no banks open and shopping malls don't seem to accept S$.

In comparision, credit card purchases (other banks) a few days before was charged at about 23.1-23.2, Singapore money changer rate above 23.
