This city is definitely changing, another landmark down, not sure Pandemic is the real reason or something else.. Berlin has sailed through all sorts of turmoil in the past..

With no travel there's not much demand for FX...
Their rates are OK but not always the best. i've resorted to apps like wise/instarem/panda remit (panda is crap but have good rates sometimes. Chinese guy even called me up yesterday to beg me to transfer). I use IB that gives even better rates
Berlin target market is mainly HK local tourist unlike the others who also does commercial etc. I believe the slew of exchange apps also played into their demise. Old business model with old man counting bills at the back room is bound to die of natural selection with or without the pandemic
Chung king Mansion is totally pointless. Whatever I save on rates I spend on Indian groceries or exotic fast food.
With the border closed many (all?) of the money changers do HK <-> CN transfers. Their transfer rates are quite high, but not much other ways. It's still highly restrictive with banks.
Hi all
Berlin was always my go-to. Am travelling soon and wondered if there are any other recommendations in Central please? I’m not going to my home country where I would just do a transfer, I know I’ll need some cash at least from time to time and want to avoid doing multiple ATM withdrawals so just want to get a small amount of local currency. Any thoughts?Thanks!
