Kuala Lumpur - currency

The currency in Malaysia is the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR).

If you’re struggling to understand Malaysia currency, here’s a few things that may help:

Currency symbol: RM
Currency code: MYR
Value: 1 ringgit = 100 sen
Banknotes: RM1 (blue), RM5 (green), RM10 (red), RM20 (orange/brown), RM50 (blue), RM100 (purple).

It’s always worth exchanging some money before your trip as rates are often much more competitive than they are in resort. But if you don’t have time to grab some local currency before you jet off, card payments are widely accepted in Kuala Lumpur, especially in popular tourist areas. You’ll also find ATMs in many of its shopping malls or transport stations if you want cash for small purchases like local markets or public transport.
