Just landed in Bali? 🌴
Before heading to the beach or café, there’s one important question every traveler asks:
💭 Where should I change my money in Bali?
With so many currency exchange stalls across Kuta, Seminyak, and Canggu — it’s easy to get confused or even risk being scammed.
Let’s explore where and how to exchange money safely on the island.
When I first visited Bali, I exchanged money at a random kiosk because the rate looked amazing.
Minutes later, I realized I’d been short-changed — and learned a valuable lesson:
In Bali, not all money changers are created equal.
Some small, unlicensed stalls advertise high rates but charge hidden fees or use tricks during counting.
Since then, I only use licensed and reputable providers, like Best Money Changer Bali (BMC) — transparent, legal, and trusted by tourists for over a decade.
✅ 1️⃣ Where to Change Money Safely in Bali
The safest places to exchange money are at licensed money changers regulated by Bank Indonesia.
Avoid dark alleys or street-side kiosks that look unprofessional.
Instead, go to authorized money changers with clear signage, proper counters, and digital rate displays.
