an easy way to determine if the rates are competitive

go to :: Mustafa Online :: check rate
or compare the buy and sell rate gap

some use the rounding trick
eg rate 6.14, SGD600 change HKD3684
they give you HKD3500(round to the nearest 500) only
you rate become 5.83 liao
always ask them to round up and top up the diff
in this case add SGD51.50 for HKD4000

So far those money changers I go to will calculate the exact SGD required to change say HKD3500 in your example. Meaning they will collect less than SGD600. End up the rate is still the same.
