Sabah Places money changers heading graphic

You may change your cash from your country's currency to the local currency - Malaysian Ringgit (RM) at:

banks
major hotels
licensed money changers

Most hotels will be able to exchange some currency with you but charge the highest commissions.
Banks charge lower commissions than hotels, but sometimes they may run out of stock of the currency which you want to purchase. Sometimes banks are not keen to buy from you if your country's currency is not popular here, because bankers consider keeping slow moving currency as bad banking practice.
Money changers provide the best deal. Below are some of the licensed money changers in Sabah.

Do not deal with unlicensed money changers, you can never be sure what kind of troubles this may lead you into.
