Buy Singapore dollars (SGD) before you leave for Singapore
A trip to Singapore means discovering a country with a thousand facets : modern cities, a multitude of cultures and architecture that you will not find anywhere else. However, it is important to prepare your trip well before leaving by finding out as much as possible about your destination country in order to be familiar with its practices and customs, as well as the use of the country's official currency, which in this case is the Singapore dollar (SGD). For some of your purchases and activities, it will be useful to have cash, although the use of bank cards is widespread. For this reason, it is advisable to do the NZD to SGD exchange before you leave for this memorable adventure.
