A friend called me today to share her encounter with Haja T&T Trading from Raffles Place. She have been monitoring https://cashchanger.co/singapore/sgd-to-krw?val=1&valtype=have & happened to saw the rate from the above trader is selling at KRW835.073 around 2pm. Her office is very near, 3 minutes walking distance. As she was busy with her work, she went to do her exchange around 3.45pm, before she left office she checked on the website again & it was still showing KRW835.073. When she reached Haja T&T Trading, she saw on their board stated KRW835.073 too. She reconfirm with the staff/boss but he told her the rate is KRW834. She pointed at the board & the staff/boss told her the rate was seconds ago, he haven't update the new rate since morning & switch off the board. It was still showing KRW835.073 on the website when they are doing the talking. She decided not to change & return to office. At 4.03pm she check on the website again & saw this trader selling at KWR835.073, it also read updated 8 minutes ago.

My conclusion is this trader is listing an amount higher than other traders to attract customers. When customers turn up to exchange they will tell them the same story & hoping they will do the exchange with them since they are already here & who knows some may have been queuing for the past 15 or 20 minutes. I'm not sure if they are doing the same for other currency. My friend told me all the other traders is selling at KRW834, only Haja T&T Trading is selling at KRW835.073. Anyone had the same encounter from this trader or any other traders using the same method to lure innocent customer?

Yea I encounter this also just last two weeks..
I have to take time off to just to change as that area only they have the highest rate currently 835.

After I went down, I saw the tv indicate 834. Lucky infront of me there’s is one lady change and they have no more currencies.. I still tot I’m the one encounter such thing. But so far, I’m been monitoring 834 is highest in the arcade. But I won’t be going Haja T&T trading to change again.

The difference is only $1.2 for every S$1k change. Even if change S$10k only $12 difference. Really need to monitor so close?

Maybe you are generous & have not time for small different or doing your exchange at Myeongdong for better rate. I guess my friend & i belong to the group that we will Q up at redemption counter to redeem free gift or top up points after our shopping at Frasers Mall but the main point she wanted to point out is how Haja T&T Trading is operating their business. I'm actually quite surprised by the way you see things, i hope you aren't affiliated to them.

No one know when is the best rate.
What I do is.
I change bit by bit
833 change a bit
834 change abit
If it raise to 835, will change a bit.

As my hotel stay and land tour, I will be paying by cash to avoid CC charges

You failed to see the point. Waste time to save that few dollars, consider how much you are going to spend on the trip. Can buy you a few face masks?
