What to do if you are cheated when exchanging currency in Bali?

If you are cheated when exchanging currency in Bali, stay calm and immediately inform the money changer, without aggression. Often in such cases, the shortfall is returned, especially if you insist on a recount. If the exchange office refuses to return the money, try threatening to call the police — this may work in tourist areas.

To avoid being cheated, follow simple rules: clarify the exchange rate and commission before exchanging, count the money on your own calculator, and do not rush. Always get a receipt — it may be useful for evidence. If you have already left the exchange office, the chances of getting the money back decrease, but you can contact the local police or tourist service.

To minimize risks, exchange money at banks or network exchange offices, such as Central Kuta or Mr & Mrs Butler, and avoid places with inflated rates. If possible, conduct the exchange with two people — one exchanges, the other monitors the process.
