There are 3 methods to fund the transfer from Singapore, including bank transfer, paynow, and debit card.

Where possible, use PayNow to fund your account, it is usually free and takes seconds.

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send $10,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what $10,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more KRW per SGD than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of KRW on every transfer from Singapore.

Right now, Regency FX pays 10,417,536.26 KRW on 10,000 SGD, which is 28,203.5 KRW less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 10,588,469 KRW.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to South Korea.

We've tracked 76 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 3 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 25 comparisons

    Cheapest in 96% of them

  2. WiseAppeared in 75 comparisons

    Cheapest in 16% of them

  3. RevolutAppeared in 71 comparisons

    Cheapest in 32% of them

Based on 76 comparisons across 3 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Regency FX is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

Wise (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in only 16% of its comparisons, so it's rarely the cheapest option for transfers to South Korea.

Ways to send money from Singapore to South Korea

There are 5 ways to send money to South Korea across 6 money transfer companies.

Cheapest way to send money

Online transfers

Sending KRW from Singapore with a specialist like Wise is quick, easy, and cheap.

You sign up online or through the app, verify account details, enter the amount, fund your transfer, and click send.

Wise charges S$49.18 to send S$10,000, delivering 10,398,706 KRW after a -0.04% markup.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 29 of the 29 days it quoted.

Large transfers from Singapore

Currency brokers

Brokers are the best for large SGD transfers to South Korea.

A currency broker can quote a lower margin on large SGD to KRW transfers and help with the paperwork and the entire process.

For example, Regency FX charges an exchange-rate markup of around 0.27% and no fees.

Our analysis shows Regency FX was the cheapest broker in 96% of the transfers from S$5,000 it quoted.

Large transfers may be held briefly for Singapore’s anti-scam checks, so if your transfer is time sensitive, start the process a bit earlier.

And you can hold both currencies in one account.

Wise will get you 10,398,706 KRW after fees when converting 10,000 SGD.

Things to know before sending SGD to South Korea

Consider these things before sending money from Singapore to South Korea.

Compare SGD/KRW transfers

For a S$10,000 transfer to South Korea, these are the best options to start with:

  1. Cheapest: Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10,417,536.26 KRW, which is 0.18% more than the next best option.

  2. Fastest: Revolut, funded through bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 10,396,213 KRW in within minutes.

SDIC protection

Eligible SGD deposits at participating banks are insured by SDIC up to S$100,000 per depositor and bank.

A balance with a non-bank transfer company is not a bank deposit and does not receive the same cover, even when the company is MAS-licensed.

When unsure, check the legal company in the MAS Financial Institutions Directory before paying.
