As an example, suppose you are from Rangoon (Yangon) Myanmar (Burma) and you travel to Accra Ghana. There, you need to get 1000 Cedis ( GH₵) at a Accra bank to pay your hotel. In this case you would pay 156.142 * 1000 = 156,142.216 Kyats (K). But, in practice, you will pay more (or perhaps much more) to get the same amount of your foreign currency due to the margin for the money conversion services costs like: commissions, credit card surcharges, ATM fees and other expenses. If, for example, you are using a credit card, this margin will typically be around 2 to 3 percent. We recommend that you choose the best place to make your money exchange because there can be a large difference between forex rates you will get.
In the example above for a 1000 Cedis amount, the result of the money conversion is 159,265.060 MMK for a 2% margin or 160,826.482 MMK for a 3% margin.
Some Internet based foreign currency exchange agencies add 10 percent or even more. So, if you make the same calculations above, there will be a difference of about 15,614.222 MMK depending on which forex bank or agency you choose to exchange your money.
