Comparison this morning...
to USD

to SGD

long story short, Wise loses by miles and MoneyMatch is the best for SGD for today's working day. Note: I checked using FPX rate on Wise, instead of Wise balance (that is a few bucks cheaper). I'm still holding some money from my travels so I can't do a full 20k transfer
Note: the column 45008 is only meant for Sunway Money where they offer more favourable rate at 45k and above (with RM8 fee)

Also for comparison, I checked rates last Saturday (sheets labelled 20240511):

It's really annoying for me to do during office hours... but looking at these rates, oklah just delay my work a bit sweat.gif

May I know how SunwayMoney / MoneyMatch transfer the USD into the bank account? Is it via wire or ach?

Cheaper to change SGD to USD Vs using wise.

Thank you. Yes, I'm currently using the Sunway Money, SG Bank method to fund IBKR.
But I also have USD bank account.

As @Takudan included USD view, I was wondering if she have the knowledge of the fees of receiving into a USD bank account and I can try the Sunway Money => USD account => IBKR method if it's cheaper.

Ahh, the only way I know of is via Wise.. you load money into Wise with USD, then using IBKR direct linkage with Wise (plus a bit of fee for USD), you can load USD into IBKR. This would've been a viable option if Wise was more competitive, but I learned after comparing that it is not, lol.

If you're doing this off business hours, it may be a different story because Wise seems consistent with their rates whereas the other 2 is much worse -- Wise was as good as SunwayMoney last Saturday.

I mean, when you are transferring money into Wise with USD, what method is Sunway Money / MoneyMatch using?
Is it Wire or ACH. As banks have cost to receive wire, while it's cheaper to free with ACH.

How do you reduce the cost of buy/sell option on IBKR? Currently using the IBKR Pro Tiered for wheel strategy but the fees can really add up.

Saw that there's the maxRebate method to get rebate on fees if use TWS, but I'm trying on the new IBKR desktop and I think the default is just SMART routing.

Not sure if other brokers like Charles Schwab will be cheaper.
