@dantz15: talaga? san ka nagpapalit dati sir?

<blockquote rel="dantz15">@auauoioi mas ok magbitbit ng aud. Mas mataas ang palitan pag nasa SG.</blockquote>

dantz15

@bait0211 yup, nagtry ako magpapalit both sa AU at SG tpos nanghinayang ako sa difference ng palitan. Kaya kung kaya nyo i-maximize ung mdadala nyo (10k aud) going to AU gawin nyo na.

Sa Junction8 ako nagpapapalit. Sa ground floor tapat ng DBS branch. Lagi mahaba pila dun kaya pumupunta ako pag lunch time kasi minsan maiksi. Pag uwian kasi matagal ang inaabot sa haba ng pila.

You just have to <b>declare</b> it.

@Miyawski thanks for the correction. 🙂

I would actually suggest na:

Keep your SG Bank Account intact (DBS/POSB ideally)
Bring in just about enough money to get you by in Oz. 3k AUD perhaps?
Sign up with OFX (previously OzForex) then send your SGD through them -- you'll have to do a funds transfer of your SGD to their nominated DBS Bank Account.

Last year, when we moved to Melbourne from SG, OzForex ginamit namin. Sending more than 10k through them was free of charge, and it took 2 - 3 business days lang to be credited to my Oz Bank Account. The rates were considerably better than the money changers in SG and even DBS/POSB's.

PS: check nyo na lang OFX, baka kasi may nagbago na (last time I sent money was Oct 2015 ata)

@kittykitkat18 mas ok rates sa amk at bishan pag lalo na malakihan ang ipapapalit. pero sa LP ang suki ko yung indian sa ground floor sa tapat ng escalator. dun sa may accessories shop.

@engineer20 1k okay na yun hahaha

kittykitkat18

@Miyawski, question lang po...

PR ka ba sa SG before? When u left for Au, meaning iniwan mo sa POSB/DBS acct mo most of your money, then u do the registration sa OFX Melbourne na and fund transfer? Unsure kse ako if aalis na permanently sa SG if your not PR, no rights ka na mag iwan ng funds sa bank dito...

Anyways, I'm checking just now, mas ok rates nila compared to pay2home and POSB b2b. 🙂

@Miyawski unfortunately hindi na pwede yung OFX sa Singapore due to legal reasons. Kakatawag lang ng isang agent sa akin just to confirm if I'm still here in SG
