How to exchange Malaysian ringgit at Kuala Lumpur Airport?

It is recommended to bring RMB, UnionPay card and international credit card when traveling to Malaysia. Many merchants in Malaysia have supported UnionPay cards, including Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Malacca.

Credit card:

Shopping malls and hotels in Malaysia generally accept credit cards, and roadside stalls and tea shops need to pay in Malaysian ringgit cash. It's not cost-effective to change money in airport hotel, but it's more cost-effective to go to a money exchange shop in a big shopping mall. Don't change money in illegal places, it's not safe. Renminbi can be exchanged, but only hundred-dollar bills are accepted.

Withdrawing Malaysian ringgit from UnionPay ATM

This is more convenient. Compared with the airport exchange point, the exchange rate is much better. There are ATMs in airports and shopping malls to exchange money. Many ATMs support China UnionPay. If you support it, you will see the UnionPay logo.

ATM of LCCT: Go to the 1 floor after the customs. There is an ATM opposite the escalator.

LCCT Airport Exchange

You can change money at ATM with UnionPay card, and change it appropriately. For example, RMB in 50 yuan can be exchanged for RM 25, which is enough for two people to take a bus to KL SENTRAL in Central, and the rest can be exchanged at KL SENTRAL.

Change money at Kuala Lumpur Central Station.

Kowloon Central Station closes at 9: 30. If it arrives at LCCT airport at 7 pm, it will arrive at Central Railway Station before 9 pm. There are two exchange points in KL sentral, one is the bookstore next to 7- 1 1, and the other is the Indian store behind the AirAsia office. It is said that the exchange rate of bookstores is not as good as that of Indian stores (bookstores are higher than UnionPay 1.6, and Indian stores are higher than bookstores by 0.8), so we can compare them then.
