Exchange rates at money changers are often better than at the banks. If you use a money changer, be sure to use an authorized, reputable one. Be clear on any fees or commissions before you exchange. Always count your money before you leave, and be sure to obtain a receipt. Be wary of any “hole in the wall” operations. It’s a good idea to download a currency converter app on your phone to verify you are receiving the correct amount.
There are money changers, along with ATMs, in the airport immediately after you have cleared immigration and customs.
