How to send money from UK to Singapore

Pick a company

For a one-off transfer to Singapore, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is MoneyGram.

On a 6,000 GBP transfer, MoneyGram delivers the most SGD.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best GBP/SGD rate.

Fund your transfer

You have 3 ways to pay, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

Paying from your bank is usually both cheapest and quickest, since most companies connect straight into your banking app via Open Banking.

Anywhere a debit card works, Apple Pay and Google Pay usually do too.

Verify and send

First time round you'll need to confirm your name, date of birth, address and a photo ID.

On £6,000 transfer it's normally instant but can take a couple hours.

Compare amounts

How much GBP are you sending to Singapore?

How much GBP you send to Singapore heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.

Ways to send money from the UK to Singapore

There are many ways to send money to Singapore from the UK, including broker, online, app, multi-currency account, global account, in person, and bank, and more.

For small & frequent transfers

Money transfer apps

If you send small amounts back home to Singapore, say weekly or monthly, an app like MoneyGram is the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

It charges £0 in fees, has 2.2% markup, lets you save recipient details, and SGD will arrive in minutes.

For one off transfers

Online transfers

Sending money online is good for occasional medium sized SGD transfers, around £1,000 - £5,000.

Online companies like MoneyGram often have higher limits and/or first time promos.

Of 1 online services, MoneyGram is the cheapest and will get you $9,951.6 on £6,000 transfer.

For large transfers

Brokers

Currency brokers like Key Currency are the best for £10,000+ transfers (things like house deposits, education fees, relocation, etc.).

You get a dedicated account manager to handle your transfer to Singapore, and 24/7 support.

Key Currency charges no fees on large transfers, but adds 0.25% markup on top of the current GBP/SGD rate.

The markup gets better the more GBP you send, so we suggest .

For fast money transfers

Cash transfer

Sending cash is the fastest way to send money from the UK to Singapore, but is usually a bit more more expensive.

You will need to deposit £6,000 online via MoneyGram, and your recipient in Singapore will be able to collect $9,951.6 in minutes.

For spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

Multi-currency accounts let you hold and spend Singapore Dollars abroad like a local.

Wise offers the best multi-currency account.

With it, converting £6,000 to SGD will get you $10,136.42 after fees.

If you don’t have SGD in your account, your GBP will auto-convert whenever you pay with Wise in Singapore.

Once you have SGD in the account, there are no extra fees from Wise for spending or holding it (local ATM charges may still apply).

For business transfers

Global accounts

Global accounts are for UK businesses making payments overseas.

For suppliers, freelancers, salaries, or invoices in Singapore, companies like Airwallex, WorldFirst, or Payoneer handle batch and recurring payments a consumer app simply can’t.

Only if you have to

Banks

Your UK bank is the most expensive way to send money to Singapore.

On a £6,000 transfer, banks like Barclays will add 2.79% markup, getting you $9,893.27 vs $9,951.6 with MoneyGram.

Ways to fund GBP and receive SGD in Singapore

Pay-in and pay-out methods will affect how much GBP you deposit and how much SGD your recipient gets. Use the table below to see how different options change how much you pay and what they get.

The overall best and cheapest way to send £6,000 to Singapore is via MoneyGram, using a debit card to deposit GBP and bank deposit to receive SGD.

Depositing GBP

You have 3 pay-in options for transfers to Singapore, including bank transfer, debit card, and credit card.

The cheapest pay-in option is bank transfer.

The fastest option in the UK is almost always bank transfer, since most companies use Open Banking and Faster Payments System (FPS).

The most expensive deposit option is credit card.

Be careful with credit card deposits, since your bank often treats it as a cash advance and will charge interest.

Receiving money in Singapore

Money can reach Singapore by bank deposit, paynow, cash pickup, and card deposit, and each delivery method comes with its own fees.

The cheapest way to receive money in Singapore is with bank deposit on average.

Receiving cash

MoneyGram is the cheapest option for cash pickup ( getting you $9,951.6 on £6,000 transfer).

Digital wallets

Your recipient can receive SGD directly into a digital wallet (like PayPal) which usually takes a few minutes to arrive.

Consider this when sending GBP to Singapore

There are a few nuances you should consider before sending GBP to Singapore such as limits, taxes, and safety.

Compare GBP/SGD transfer options

Right now, these are the best money transfer options for £6,000 transfer to Singapore:

Cheapest way to send money to Singapore

The cheapest way is to use MoneyGram, pay in with a debit card and withdraw via bank deposit. You will get $9,951.6, which is 0.59% more than the next best option.

Fastest way to send money to Singapore

The fastest way is to use Revolut via bank transfer deposit and bank deposit for pay out. You get $10,065.79 and it will arrive in within minutes.

UK transfer limits

There is no legal limit and no tax on sending your own money abroad.

Main hard limits come from your bank or money transfer company, often around £10,000 to £25,000 online (which you can usually increase in the app).

Also, the "£10,000 declaration" only applies to physically carrying cash through the border, not online transfers.

And on bigger GBP/SGD transfers (roughly £10,000 up) expect a source-of-funds check, such as a payslip or a statement.

That's anti-money-laundering checks, but it holds transfers up, so be prepared.

The transfer costs involved

Your cost is the fee plus the exchange-rate margin.

For example, sending $9,951.6 with MoneyGram will get you 9,951.6 SGD, that’s including £0 fee and 2.2% in exchange rate markup.

A bank like Barclays on the other hand, will get you $9,893.27, that’s £0 in fees but 2.79% in FX fees.

Taxes on money transfers

There is no UK tax for the act of sending money to Singapore.

And, regular gifts out of your normal income are free of inheritance tax straight away, no cap and no seven-year wait.

Staying safe when sending abroad

Only ever use a provider authorised by the FCA, which you can check on the FCA register in under a minute.

The rules in place for any scams cover domestic pound transfers only, on a transfer abroad you're less protected.

Always confirm who you're really sending to before you send, because there's little recourse after.
