QUOTE(Ken.B @ Jul 20 2011, 06:12 PM) Point 1:In Singapore, if you can find the right licence money changes/ licence remittance agent authorise by MAS, the rate will be better for TT. Remember, if you bring more then 30K out from SG, you need to declare due to anti-money laundering law, they will not investigate but you must declare. Point 2: You will get a better rate in Singapore from money changer than JB money changer. KL, Penang offer similar or better rate sometimes. Suggest to call them up before going down, you will get better rate in this way. here are the link for money changer : http://search.insing.com/ts/banking-financ...CFQd66wodsnWrhQ Some places like : Boon lay, Chinatown, PP, Raffles place Arcade offer good rate. Hope this information help. |

DBS charges around sgd20 for TT, which is reasonable.
But the problem is DBS cannot remit in MYR. It can only remit USD or SDG to Malaysia. So on the malaysian end, the banks here will convert, at the current rate of about 2.40x, versus the cash conversion rate of around 2.43. This difference is big if you want to remit a large sum. Question is, will money changers here in Malaysia take inward remittance from Singapore and convert the SGD to MYR at a better rate? cause banks here in MY certainly don't give good rates.

hi...i've done aome research on my partband bliv that money remittance is the best choice at a very minimal risk...
went to check the rate at raffles place and got 2.422..quote for rate nearby my living place at balestier and got 2.425 at a charge of sgd10 only...no limit.... so conclusion,money remittance with MAS licensed is the best choice....of course engage with one that r convenient to your place..they will usually requires ur basic detail that are neded in the TT form with a photocopy of ur work pass...tats all... Added on January 9, 2012, 1:21 pmand for ur info...money remittance rate is usually highet than money exchanger or bank rate...bliv that they might use the spot rate as they already earn a sgd 10 commission..

So far, the most convenient I've seen is using www.pay2home.com. It can be done online after the 1st time where you must physically transact at their nearest branch to you to have your online feature activated.
You can deposit the money you will send online to their Singapore local bank (thru your local singapore online banking account). Those information you will supply to their site and also the recipient Malaysia bank account. They have competitive rates, however the remittance charge cost SGD9. The one mentioned above cost SGD8 but then you need to go to Lucky Plaza, and may be not worth your time from where you came from and to queue. Now if anybody else have better way to do this, please share, as in the future I would need to fund back my Maybank (and I don't have Maybank SG account). Funny, sending to Philippines costs only SGD5 where its a country 4 hours away, whereas border country Malaysia, charge is SGD9. This post has been edited by jtdc: Jan 17 2013, 05:16 PM |

For me I think Maybank Singapore is the best for me to remmitance fund from Singapore to Malaysia, but you must have Maybank Malaysia account first.
Remmitance fund by using Maybank Singapore Online Banking, per day transfer limit is S$3000, but you can amend the limit up to S$20000 per day, the bank will charge one off service charges S$15 per transaction (to Maybank Malaysia account) and you will get the RM in your Maybank Malaysia account on the same transaction day if you done the transfer completely before 4pm of the working days. Another good thing to have Maybank Singapore account is ou can withdraw the money at ATM Maybank Malaysia with free of service charges, the exchange rate is base on the current foreign exchange rate. Real Example: XE showed S$ 1 = RM 2.50 Maybank current exchange rate: S$1 = Rm 2.471 Today I do online remmitance S$10000 and done completely on 3:45pm, so I will get the RM within another 2 more hours which is RM24710, but total charge only S$15. (Just like during CNY period, the money changer rate is low althought the real exchange rate is high, so Maybank Singapore will be the good choice for those who need to convert the S$ to RM within this period.) Total cost: S$10000 + 15 = RM24710 And if I withdraw RM 20 on the same day at the Maybank Malaysia ATM, they will only deduct S$8.09 from my Maybank Singapore account. Withdraw limit is equivalent S$3000 only per day. |

For sharing purpose:
I normally remit money from SG to MY through the money changer at Jurong Point. Remittance rate is usually higher by 0.5 to 1 as compare to exchange rate. Most importantly, if you remit >RM10k, the money changer wont impose any charges at all. Those <RM10k, there will charge $10 for each transaction. |

Is there a consolidated list showing the places to remit and their charges?
My friend said there's a place in raffles which can transfer to your Malaysia bank account. Charge S$10 per transaction. He didnt give me the name or direction of the place. Anyone knows? |

actually i been thinking about this, since i staying in singapore, got singapore and malaysia bank account.
I could actually provide this service of TT, I'm actually thinking: currency exchange based on daily conversation, usually less by $1.50 as per most money change vendors. Remit fee $5 per transaction. What do you think? workable? yeah, i know i'm not licensed and it's purely based on trust. i can provide you my singapore contact, malaysia bank info and even singapore bank info. doable?

I always exchange RM in SG and bring it to MY myself... it is quite safe if you travel with your friends. City Square JB is just 1 minute walk from CIQ, and there is UOB and Maybank in the shopping mall thus I am less worried about being robbed.then i will bring the SGD to KL and change at local money changer (current rate i see in subang is 2.43) but looking at you guys post, seems that TT or those remittance can give good rate too. maybe i shoulkd postpone my trip to SG? |
