Currency exchange in Macau, the best exchangers in Macau!
Where and how to change the currency in Macau?
It is best to arrive in Macau with American dollars in cash (new generation, green).
1. There is an exchange at the airport upon arrival, the exchange rate is normal, but not the best.
Change only 20 USD to Hong Kong dollars – just enough for a taxi to the hotel.
And then change the main amount at one of the points.:
2. Exchangers with the best exchange rate 7.6-7.7
Casino at the Venice Hotel at Cashier office.
Banknotes of any series. They even charge old white dollars at the best exchange rate!
This is the best place to exchange currency!
You need to change it to Hong Kong dollars. You definitely won’t need the local currency – pataki!
Pataki, Hong Kong dollars and yuan are accepted in Macau stores at a rate of 1 to 1.
In casinos, as a rule, the settlement currency is only Hong Kong dollars!
In other casinos, the exchange rate is worse and they find fault with the bills – not everyone takes them!
There are also exchangers at both marinas in Macau, but the exchange rate there is not very profitable.
You can also withdraw Hong Kong dollars from an ATM in Macau.
Visa/Mastercard/Unionpay cards are often not accepted in Macau (shopping malls, shops, restaurants).
You need cash in Macau!!! You need to have a decent supply of Hong Kong dollars!
IMPORTANT!
– When checking into a hotel in Macau, you will be asked for a deposit of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars.
You can pay with cash or a card (but in the latter case, you will be refunded up to 1 month).
Therefore, I recommend making a deposit in Hong Kong dollars.
– many places do not accept large bills of 500 and 1000 Hong Kong dollars. When exchanging, ask for bills in hundreds.
– as a rule, they do not ask for a passport in any exchange offices in Macau.
Change more. Hong Kong dollars fly off by the thousands like sunflower seeds during excursions and stays in Macau and Hong Kong!
Alipay does not work in Hong Kong and Macau!!!
There is an Mpay mobile application in Macau (you need a Chinese or Hong Kong number).
There inly AlipayHK (need Hong Kong number)
Apple pay in Macau, some places are accepted (for example, coffee shops).
