Learn how to get the best Malaysian Ringgit exchange rate before exchanging your money

The Malaysian Ringgit is the official Malaysian Ringgit currency. MYR/GBP represents the value of Malaysian Ringgit money in Pound money and it is called the 'exchange rate' or 'forex rate'. This exchange rate from Malaysian Ringgit to Pound is today at 0.178.

As an example, suppose you are from London Great Britain and you travel to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. There, you need to get 1000 Malaysian Ringgits ( RM) at a Kuala Lumpur bank to pay your hotel. In this case you would pay 0.178 * 1000 = 177.656 Pounds (£). 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 Malaysian Ringgits amount, the result of the money conversion is 181.209 GBP for a 2% margin or 182.985 GBP 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 17.766 GBP depending on which forex bank or agency you choose to exchange your money.
