Worst place in Batam to change money (inside batam ferry terminal) will be almost equivalent to the best money changer (Arcade 2nd floor) in Singapore. You don't really have a choice if you have zero rupiah.
Thank you for your detailed explanation.

I had changed $100 in sg anyway. Will avoid the ferry terminal if it's that bad. How bout the mall? My hotel is near the nagoya hill mall. Is it as bad as the ones in terminal?
