Change

How much you are changing. In yen you can type 3万, 3man, 30k or 1.5 million.

As the board shows it: yen for S$1 (e.g. 121.80), or S$ for ¥1,000 or ¥100. We read which it is.

Rates and fees as each provider publishes them; rows marked “about” use the mid-market rate in place of the provider’s own rate, which we don’t read. Not a quote: the provider’s own screen at the time you change is what counts. How we work it out
