The current currency of Singapore is the Singapore Dollar (currency symbol S$).
Money can be exchanged at Singapore's Changi airport, or at most of the island's shopping and wine exchanges.
It is also possible to exchange money at ATMs in Singapore. Atms currently accept most major credit cards such as VISA, mastercard and American Express.
Shop around for bargains. Since distributors do not have to comply with the recommended Retail price (RRP) for each product, prices can vary widely. Please ask the retailer if the 7% Goods and Services Tax (GST) applies. Please note that if you leave Singapore by air, GST will be refunded on purchases above S $100 (single receipt).
Note whether the goods can be returned or exchanged. Once a purchase has been paid for in Singapore, retailers usually enforce strict return, exchange or refund policies. You should always ask the retailer about their policies before making a purchase.
Check receipts/invoices for accuracy. Whenever you purchase anything, ask for a receipt or invoice and keep it in reserve. At the same time, you should check that the price and goods are accurate to ensure that you do not overpay. Remember to check and indicate the complimentary items (if any).
