    There are plenty of exchange shops around the touristic areas of Bali, you can shop around for better rates and haggle a little. But you will get the best rate by using a suitable card for travel such as Halifax Clarity, Revolut, Monzo, etc.

    We took sterling and changed it easily.
    BUT.....
    Beware of unauthorised moneychangers in Bali.

    They'll offer you a good rate but with sleight of hand rip you off.
    They count out the money then pick it up and pretend to straighten the notes and drop a few onto the floor, thereby short-changing you..

    Check out TA Bali board - on the 'Top questions about Bali' is advice on money changing.
