Decent and honest money changer located at Paya Lebar mrt - very convenient location opposite Paya Lebar Square. Have changed money here a few times before - rates are pretty decent. When I visited today (Thurs, 19 June 2025) to change…
Went at noon on a Sunday. 1 staff was busy playing facebook while the other was just chatting with the customer while the queue got longer and longer. Wasted 15 mins queueing for a transaction that took less than one
