Yes. It's call money changer. Malaysia banks don't accept foreign currency cash.

Do not use cimb Malaysia to transfer. Use what Medufsaid suggested.

daily transfer limits for the remittance agents
  • DuitNow - RM3k
  • BigPay - RM20k
  • MoneyMatch - RM30k
  • Sunway Money - RM30k (e-KYC) / RM50k (KYC via face-to-face
just transfer day by day to reach your 100k sgd limit. even if you bring physical cash in sg, you need to declare if the amt exceeds S$20k

rates changes daily but duitnow is good for small amounts, MoneyMatch good during day time, BigPay good during night time (would recommend to just remit during day time for quick turnaround)

Never use moneymatch, checked and found that it is under bnm and regulated by Brunei rules and regulations? Is it considered a platform under bnm?

Yes that is the rate I checked. If I want to transfer 300k to 500k sgd (rm1 to 1.5mil) , is this the best way to transfer? I mean we cannot compare to the rate offered by money changer/ Google rate? We should use the rate stated in wise/moneymatch/bank tt correct?

Use Google rate for references. You can check with banks. Sometimes large amount can have discount from banks.
