Forecasts for MYR to JPY

12 AprThe exchange rate forecast for the MYR to JPY over the coming weeks suggests heightened volatility and caution in response to escalating trade tensions, particularly due to the recent actions taken by the U.S. government. Analysts point out that Malaysia is feeling the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's 24% tariffs imposed on imports from the country, contributing to a deteriorating outlook for emerging Asian currencies. Recent reports indicate that regional currencies, including the Malaysian ringgit, have been under pressure, with the MYR trading at 32.45, which is 4.6% below its three-month average of 34.02. This drop in value reflects a volatile range of 10.2%, further illustrating the uncertainty in the market.

How to get a good MYR to JPY exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Malaysian ringgit to Japanese yen:

Shop around for the best MYR/JPY exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
Timing is important: Keep an eye on the MYR/JPY rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both MYR and JPY at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

Generally speaking, if you are buying Japanese yen with Malaysian ringgit, then it's better for the MYR/JPY exchange rate to be higher.

However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
