Things to know before sending SGD to Sri Lanka

Consider these things before sending money from Singapore to Sri Lanka.

Compare SGD/LKR transfers

For a $7,000 transfer to Sri Lanka, these are the best options to start with:

  1. Cheapest: OFX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 1,800,596.63 LKR, which is 0.02% more than the next best option.

  2. Fastest: Revolut, funded through bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 1,797,679.65 LKR 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.
