One Asian currency to another via the $
Does it mean more money If I convert one Asian currency (into Euros/Pounds or Dollars first) and then convert it again to another Asian currency, For example, If i have 3000 Malaysian Ringit and I want to convert it Vietnamese Dong, should i change it to US dollars first or British pounds and then change that western currency to the Dong? Or would I be saving time in just changing the Ringgit to Dong upon arrival in Vietnam? Thanks |
Is your home currency an asian currency? I think to be honest it would be pointless changing all this currency over to the £ or the $ if you have a debit card? You may lose more on paying charges etc
currently you can get: 3,000.00 MYR Malaysia Ringgits = 12,745,367.63 VND |
Each time you convert from one currency to another you usually pay two different fees. There usually is commission charged on the transaction in the form of a percentage of the amount or a flat fee. There is also a spread built in to the buy and sell rates that exchange places offer, that is what they will buy a currency for will be less than what they're prepared to sell it for.
Exchanging to a third currency will just wind up with you out of pocket TWICE for the commission and the spread. |
^I agree. Simplest rule is to minimize the number of currency transactions you make. You lose big time every time you exchange.
