For those who use Instarem to convert RM to Singapore Dollar, roughly how long does it take for the money in SGD to be deposited in Singapore savings account?

Thank you for your information. smile.gif

1pm is weird cause last time I did tranafer about 1.10 and it reached the same day.

7.30 should be right as no one is working at that time so can only process next day.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Last year, I performed a transaction in Instarem website in the morning of a working day, and the fund was deposited in the evening on the same day.

Recently, when I performed a transaction in the morning of a working day, the fund was deposited in the afternoon of next working day.

Sigh, has Instarem tighten the checks and internal processes, resulting in the delay of fund depositing?

Weird, I got my transaction completed on the same working day, less than 30 minutes. I transferred before lunch.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It is good for you two, to have speedy deposit of SGD. smile.gif

Perhaps, roarus and I are not lucky.

Maybe, at the time when I performed the transaction at Instarem website, there was not adequate amount of conversion from SGD to MYR performed by Instarem Singapore users. So, Instarem needed to gather sufficient matching amount of conversion from SGD to MYR, before depositing SGD into my Singapore savings account.

My guess is that, if I converted much lower amount from MYR (say around RM 1000) to SGD, the depositing would have been quicker. Recently, I converted around RM 9k, which should not be a large amount, and yet it was deposited on next working day.

I am not sure whether the recipient bank matters, but I am using POSB Savings account.

These are just my uneducated guesses. Sigh, luck is not my side. bangwall.gif
