If you are going to go to Balti, then the currency selection from which you can get better to do from those that can be freely exchanged in any exchange paragraph. Namely, no problems can be changed US dollars, euros, Russian rubles, Ukrainian hryvnias and Romanian lei. Other types of currencies can be exchanged in Beltsy only in Banca Sociala, or in Chisinau at the National Bank of Moldova.
You can change the currency on Moldovan Lei in any branch of one of the banks or in currency exchange points, which are quite a lot in all parts of the city. Also exchange cash desks are in the network supermarkets buffet, metro network and Green Hilz. On the territory of the bus station and the Balti-Slobodzay railway station also have currency exchange points. The schedule of exchange points is different, but the earliest open from 8.00 am and the latest closure of about 20.00 in the evening, although in the buffet and metro can work until the centers themselves are closed.
Currency courses in exchanger can be different and therefore do not hurry with the exchange. By learning the course in the first thing. The course is usually postned after it is determined by the National Bank of Moldova. It happens in the morning around 9.30-10.00.
In addition to exchange offices, it is possible to change the currency in the city markets in trading clothing and various goods. Since the purchase of goods are produced abroad, and this is mainly Turkey, Ukraine, Russia and Romania, then according to the currency of these countries, as well as dollars and euros may be interested in trading. Sellers usually put a sign on the purchase of the currency interested in their counters, and you can negotiate the course. The markets in the markets will be about average, between purchasing and selling, which is defined in exchange offices, although there are times when the cash desks do not possess one or another currency in stock, respectively, and you can offer more interesting prices for yourself. When exchanging, for example, 300-500 dollars or equivalent in rubles, the difference with the exchanger will be quite decent. At least 50-100 lei can be saved.
You can also exchange currency in people who are at the main entrance to the central market
and standing near ticket air tickets in the area of the 10th quarter. But they have a course almost the same as in the box office and exchangers located next door, you will not win a lot, so you should not even bother about this.
You can calculate a bank card or you can remove cash from your card account in one of the departments of the bank or in an ATM. There are not many of them in the city, but those of which I know are near the central branch of Sberbank Moldova, the Department of Mologougroindbank near the central stop, in the center of the city near the art gallery, at the entrance to the Fidesco supermarket near the 10th quarter
And in the area of Bulgarian street. Perhaps recently there are new points with ATMs. Types of bank cards may be different, but usually it supports Visa, Visa Electron, Maestro, MasterCard, etc.
And do not forget to follow the safety of your funds in places of cluster of a large number of people and public transport, where there are cases of pocket theft.
On the pictures of photos, it is the places that I wrote, so that they can be a visual guideline for you. I was glad if I was able to help and successfully travel you.
