However after that, where shall you get more Singapore dollars? In this article I will describe a money saving technique for exchanging your cash to Singapore dollars.

What is recommended in Singapore is to change your money at the various Singapore Licensed Money Changers in town. They will offer you superior rates in which you can get that extra Singapore dollar out of your hard earned cash.

Here are some of the recommended money exchangers in Singapore, based on research from the locals in Singapore. They provide the best rates in town with no complications, and with no negotiations needed. With no questions asked, they will give you a good rate!

1.) Crante Money Changer

Please note that the above tip is only for cash (with the assumption you are carrying one form of the top major currencies worldwide or in Asia – such as USD, CAD, EUR,

GBP, AUD, NZD, JPY, INR, CNY, HKD, MYR, SGD). Traveler cheques may or may not be accepted at the money changers, therefore most likely you will need to go to the bank for that.
