  • Do money changers in Changi accept Russian Rubles?

    As the title mentions, do money changers in Changi accept Rubles? To some this might sound silly but in KUL I haven't come across any money changers which accept rubles.

    Last time I visited a money changer in SIN a year ago they didn't have RUB rates on their boards

      Nyet, if i recall correctly. Haven't come across any money changers in Asia who carry stock/accept that currency. I'm sure there are some that do, but they'd be rare.

      I've managed to spend every single ruble (bar a few kopeks here and there) each time I've been.

        Pasibo, flyKL and SQFG

        Still got 5000 left from my previous trip

        But if you're in SIN anytime soon may I humbly request that you pop by one of the changers to be double sure?

          SilverChris, have you tried The Arcade at Raffles Place. Those guys do almost anything ... and they give one of the best rates in town; though I can't say for the ruble!

                  I would be very suprised if they did not accept Rubbles. It is a fully tradable currency which is the normal guide for whether they will be acceptable. Plus you have flights from Russia so I would think the airport exchangers would be used to dealing with them.

                      Singapore money changers especially at Raffles Place Arcade can trade in any currency.

                      Unlike the Malaysian ones when I was trying to change some Norwegian Krona into Ringgit .. only to be told that they will only do so if I have Swedish or Danish Krona. Er, I have Norwegian. And they say, do you have Swedish....

                          I think they close around 7'nish downstairs though the ones upstairs close a little earlier than the ones downstairs. I recommend People's Corner at #02-07. They usually have a queue, but if you have lots to change, it's worth the while to practice some patience ... most of the time. You can check their board for the rates before you join the queue.

                          They also close Fri lunch for prayers. If you're not going there on biz days, you may want to call them at 6223-3040 first.

                          NB: I'm in no way related to them!!
