QUOTE(Yggdrasil @ Jul 8 2020, 01:16 PM) If you're transferring for one of case and only RM2000, Instarem charges around RM15. You can shop around for the best rates or just settle for this. Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately they don't have the instarem option. Only WU/transferwise/moneygram. Do you have any experience with moneygram before? I read the website and it seems I have to do it through their agents. Any one with relevant experiences with moneygram?

Hi, I am looking to transfer USD from my Singapore account to Malaysia bank in MYR. So far I understand it can be done using Transferwise but Instarem indicate you can only trasfer out from Malaysia if you are a resident in Malaysia. Is this tru? Is TW the only vehicle to transfer USD back to Malaysia Myr ? Any other recomendation? I see BigPay also only can transfer out. Thanks

Transferwise does not support credit card payment QUOTE(dummies @ Jul 21 2020, 09:43 PM) i want to send MYR (RM 8K) to my US bank account (in USD), which one give me the best exchange rate? is it Instarem here? You need to compare on the spot. I could tell you company A is better but it can change within the next few hours.

QUOTE(Yggdrasil @ Oct 29 2019, 12:22 AM) Nope. The maximum you can transfer using Transferwise is RM30000. Even at maximum of RM30000, you still get extra SGD5.12 transferring using Instarem.   But Intarem and BP don't have MYR to JPY transfer... kindly help

TW is already so cheap for MYR to JPY. The only pair I ever saw IR a little bit cheaper is MYR/SGD. But also not always, right now TW is cheaper.

And for SGD much better than the other two, nice. yeah it seems the MYR-SGD rate is the best among all, just that the transfer time seems would take T+2 business days for transactions submitted before 4.00pm Malaysia time, and up to T+3 business days for transactions submitted after 4.00pm., which is a bit slower

QUOTE(Yggdrasil @ Oct 28 2019, 11:34 PM) Sorry, I am confused with your analysis. If Transferwise has the closest rate to Xe , then why is it the most expensive of the three?
