Indonesian rupiah rate today

When you're in Surabaya, and also the rest of Indonesia, the official currency is the Indonesian rupiah.

Yet, when you step into a currency exchange shop, you'll notice they use currency codes. The code associated with the Indonesian rupiah is IDR, so be sure to take note of it when comparing exchange rates.

What you should know about exchanging money in Surabaya

You can follow a few simple tips which could help save money when exchanging currency in Surabaya. By increasing your awareness you can be better prepared for currency exchanges wherever you are.

1. Beware of 'zero fee' services
Some services will claim 'no commission'. This can be misleading as they will often have hidden a markup by offering you a worse exchange rate.

2. Know the current exchange rate
Be familiar with the current exchange rate to help identify a bad deal from exchange services.

3. Avoid exchanging money at airports or hotels
The convenience of exchanging currency at airports and hotels often comes at a price. That price will come as poor exchange rates and high transaction fees. Try to use this as a last resort.

4. Avoid scams
Be cautious of street vendors or unofficial exchange services that may offer seemingly attractive rates. Stick to recognised establishments to avoid falling victim to scams or fraudulent practices. Your financial security should always be a top priority.

5. Opt for local currency
When using an ATM abroad, pick the option to be charged in Indonesian rupiah for a fairer rate to avoid undisclosed exchange rates. Picking the local currency will almost always be cheaper.

Consider an alternative to physical currency exchanges
