Currency

The currency in Singapore is the Singapore dollar.

The main exchange rates are:

$1 US Dollar == S$ 1.74 Singapore Dollars

1 GBP Pound == S$ 2.6-2.8 Singapore Dollars

Changing money is very simple indeed in Singapore. In addition, all the major banks have branches in Singapore and most cash machines (or ATMs) will accept foreign credit cards.

The main notes are $1, 2, 5, 10 and 50.

Advice: Cab drivers sometimes do not have enough change for $50 notes, so try and keep some $10 bills. Most cab trips in Singapore cost between $8 and $20/dollars, even from the airport.
