Change

How much you are changing. In won you can type a price as Korean shops write it, like 45,000원 or 4.5만원.

As the board shows it: S$ for ₩1,000 (Singapore boards, e.g. 0.96), or won for S$1 (Seoul boards, e.g. 1,040). 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
