What is the best money transfer exchange rate to Malaysia?
Each bank and money transfer service can set their own exchange rate, which means you'll need to shop around to find the best deal.
Firstly, find the mid-market exchange rate for your currency, using a Google search or an online currency converter. This is usually the best available exchange rate, as it's the one banks and currency services use when placing large foreign exchange trades on the global markets. However, it's not always the rate providers pass on to customers. Instead, it's common to find a markup - an extra fee - is added to the exchange rate offered to retail customers.
Find a provider which uses the real mid-market exchange rate and charges low, transparent fees, for the best available deal.
