Should I change money in Singapore or on arrival?
For most currencies, Singapore's competitive market beats airport and tourist-zone rates at your destination. The exceptions are currencies with import restrictions — check the notes on this page.
Is a multi-currency card better than cash?
Cards often convert at close to mid-market and are safer for large sums; cash still wins for markets, taxis and small vendors. Most travellers do best with both — full comparison here.
