Changing Money in Bali Money Exchange/Changer All You Need To Know

in todays Bali money matters travel video vlog I will provide information on everything you need to know about changing money & using an ATM in bali.

ABOUT ME: I have 12 years experience of living in Bali and first started visiting Bali in 2001, during this time I have amassed a huge amount of useful knowledge of bali & Indonesia. I speak from real life experiences of my own and I share my knowledge in this video to prepare you for your holiday in bali.

MOST IMPORTANT TO ME: I want you to obtain the best possible experience from your holiday in bali, the last thing I want to see is tourists visit bali and leave with a bitter taste in their mouths due to a bad experience related to a bali currency exchange or ATM skimming.

EVERTHING IN THIS VIDEO: All content in this video is to provide you with a guide and prepare you for your holiday in bali. nothing from this video should be taken negatively. I am a seasoned traveler for over 20 years and have encountered many of the same situations outlined in this video in many other countries I have visited around the world.

1: Bali Airport Exchanges offer lower money exchange rates than those offered by the Authorized money changers located in all the main tourist areas.

2: only use authorized money changers, all the authorized money changers I show in this video all offer the exact same exchange rates on all currencies and that is the maximum rate available to tourists whom wish to exchange money. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU EXCHANGE AT BOARDS OFFERING HIGHER EXCHANGE RATES AS YOU WILL NOT GET THE RATE ADVERTISED ON THE BOARD.

3: BEST TIME TO EXCHANGE: Monday 10:00am -Friday 15:00pm, weekend exchange rates are considerably lower.

4: Be very careful when using ATM machines as bali is renowned for card skimming (I speak from my own personal experience of this). best to use ATM machines attached to a bank branch rater than using single cubical style ATM machines located on the side of a quiet street.

5: ALWAYS COUNT & CHECK YOUR MONEY BEFORE LEAVING THE EXCHANGE. IF USING THE LITTLE WHITE BOARD MONEY CHANGERS COUNT YOUR MONEY AND CHECK IT MATCHES THE RATE ADVERTISED AND DO NOT LET THE TELLER TOUCH YOUR MONEY AGAIN.

6: if exchanging large sums of money then best to use an authorized money exchange that has an electronic counting machine behind the counter so you can see visually the correct amount.

I WISH YOU ALL A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE HOLIDAY IN BALI. I HOPE THIS VIDEO IS OF SOME USE TO ANYONE WATCHING.
