Here’s another topic I can relate to. Being a frequent traveller, one of the many things I find tedious during travel preparation would be currency exchange.
Since I was changing money in the thousands, it would make sense for me to head to places like Chinatown for the better rates.
However, there’s just one problem.
Yeap, the queues. I remembered queuing for close to half an hour just to change my SGD to RMB.
As much as I love travelling, it would be great if we could avoid the queues at money changers completely.
And that’s about to change.
Meet, Mr Alstone Tee and Mr Tan Jin.
Their website, www.thinmargin.com, is due to launch soon and it will be Singapore’s very first online money changer!
Customers can select their preferred delivery time and date, and pay online for the amount they wish to exchange. The currency will then be delivered to their doorstep!
At the moment, they carry 15 types of currencies and are offering competitive rates. In case you’re wondering, these are the places they deliver to.
(Oh look, Bukit Panjang!)
Hmm, I’m pretty sure that’s almost all of Singapore!
Anyway, the earliest they can fulfil an order is within two days. So if you’re in urgent need of foreign currency, it’s still best to go queue at a traditional money changer!
However, the founders did say that they’re doing their best to reduce the waiting time. While they declined to comment on their exchange rates, they did mention that their rates would be more attractive than those at Changi Airport.
“We strive to have our rates be comparable to those in the CBD area, and most of the time, we are confident that we can beat the rates of the neighbourhood money changers and those at the airport,” said Mr Tan.
Just in case you’re wondering if they are trustworthy, I’ll have you know that they are being regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
That being said, I hope that their rates would be good! I mean, who wouldn’t want to wait at home for their money to arrive, right?
Since you’re here, why not watch a video about a guy who lodged a Police report here in Singapore because he was friendzoned? Seriously. Here, watch it and do remember to share it (and also subscribe to Goody Feed YouTube channel)!
