Is anyone able to recommend me a money changer? Will be getting off at Batam Center(never been there before).
My main concern is that I will be changing a bigger amount, as such I’d prefer to have to do it at a money changer that’s not too crowded or has lurkers hanging around like some places in indo. If anyone can be as kind to enlighten me on such a counter with better rates, I would be thankful. Will also up your points. TIA.

Once you exit the immigration doors, turn right and walk to the last moneychanger, it’s next to Kaha Travel counter.
I’m a regular and I usually change more than 1k, so they give me a good rate whenever they see me. What they offer me is very close to the published rate on XE currency app.
Let them know that u are changing a lot and ask them to give u the best possible rate; they will always quote a little lower for newbies, so remember to bargain..
