I dunno how u derive both rates 3.052 and 3.05549. Also, if u r converting SGD to RM....3.05549 is a better rate

Yes, the rate is better but you have to pay another SGD3.43 fee to Transferwise.

Ok, then for transferring larger amount like 10k or more onwards, TW rate is actually about 1.1% better than CIMB.... 3.05549 vs 3.052

It is not cost efficient to transfer 1k.... as RM10 is 1% of 1k... imagine the amount of money bank makes on those small remittances daily ...using those TT is even worse

If you transfer bigger amount, you have to pay more fee to TW.

Just a quick check on TW app, if you want to transfer SGD to RM10k, they will charge you a fee of SGD23.76. So in total the rate is about 3.03X only via TW.

CIMB SGD to MYR promo rate will end on 31 Dec 2019. Not sure what's the rate after the promo end.
