At 12pm, VietinBank sells VND,

1 SGD = 16571 VND
1 USD = 21085 VND

At 12pm, DBS sells USD,

1 USD = 1.277 SGD

If I have I exchange 127.7 SGD to 100 USD and then change to VND, I will get 2108500 VND

If I exchange 127.7 SGD to VND, I will get 2116116.7 VND.

Lets move on with this...

I did say mine was just an example, I used the rates mentioned by others to illustrate. Pleased that you followed the same principle using real time rates today and got a difference in the order of VND 4-12k from my bad example.

By the way, if you're a friend I'd sell you currency at exact current FX rates.

After a failed attempt to meet up with some sammies (you know who you are! but no worries) and have personal reasons to celebrate decided to head out and explore.

See if i can get her outside during the day for a chat

Nice report!! Wish that I had gone to explore together with you.

even is the same...why bother to go to money changer in Singapore to change to USD when SGD is welcome in Vn...

if I change one pc SGD 1k note...then i get higher than using SGD 50 or SGD 100 notes...
