The Arcade

Unclaimed

Centrally located at Raffles Place, this mall is very well known for the number of foreign currency exchanges across the entrance and second floor. Many people working in banks and around the area, will flock over here to exchange forex currencies, especially during lunch times. As such, rates are generally competitive. They also have some eateries here, and some office equipment shops. The fish soup is famous. They have a Bengawan Solo right at the entrance, if you do need some post lunch snacks or kuehs.

There is renovation in the neighbouring building but The Arcade is still open for business. The building might look unassuming and old from the outside, but it houses many (at least 10) money changers. Due to the highly competitive environment, you are almost guaranteed the best rate as compared to other shopping malls. This place is always bustling with travelers looking to exchange currencies. Don't be intimidated by the number of money changers. Take your time to shop around (especially the 2nd floor) for the best rates. The rates offered by each store are definitely different from one another. Try not to go in the late evening when it is near closing time as some of the shops with better rates might have run out of currency stock.

Famous for the many Money Chargers shop within this Shopping and office centre. Was told the exchange rate were much better over here. Building had seen better day. Its using crowded during weekday lunch hours as there many eateries to serve the office staffs working in this CBD area. Pricing for the foods competitive for a business district area.

A place to change your money to foreign currencies. Don’t go too late. Some stores close before 5. Damn crowded during lunch break definitely.

Nice place to walk around the area where there is plenty of food to chose. Can be crowded during lunch time
