They offered as good rate as the money changer opposite ex Formosa Hotel.

100% better rate than any Harbour Bay ferry terminal money changer.

By the way, i came back to Singapore one day after you....hehehe....
Thanks for the lobang.

On my arrival day at Batam, the XE rate was 10650 rupiah.
Formosa opposite money changer rate was not that good at 10500 on that day maybe because formosa no more so their customer reduced therefore no more promotion liao
Harbourbay ferry terminal offer 10450
BCS mall offer 10450
Nagoya hill 10500

Finally i managed to change my sing dollar S$300 at the money changer at the Orange building behind city central hotel at the best rate of 10620 rupiah.

This orange building is opposite Nagoya Plasa Hotel and houses 5 money changers. The unique thing is that the 5 money changer signboard are all different colours: starting from most right side :
Yellow, Blue, Orange White and Red. Their rate is good due to competition.

(i change at the 3rd money changer which was the orange signboard)

What a coincidence we were at batam at the same period but at different triangle location
