Good experience, easy going people with excellent service. Rates are good too. Always come here for their exchange rate whenever I'm going overseas.

Not sure if they moved to the upper floor near the escalator. But I'm quite sure they are the last resort. Will only patronize if i urgently need foreign currency. For anything above 1k, i wouldn't recommend patronizing them. Be prepared…
