What’s Included with Your Singapore Dollar Business Account

Receive SGD via domestic transfers and access SWIFT for international SGD payments.
Collect revenues in SGD without forced conversion into another base currency.
Pay Singapore suppliers and counterparties in their preferred currency.
The Risk of Not Having a Singapore Dollar Business Account
Relying solely on offshore currency accounts or ad-hoc FX conversion exposes businesses to unnecessary costs, uncertainty, and reputational friction in Singapore.
FX erosion:
Repeated, unplanned conversions compress margins.
Payment delays:
SWIFT-only routes add intermediaries, days, and fees.
Counterparty friction:
Local partners prefer SGD transfers to domestic accounts.
Compliance hurdles:
Paying local taxes and payroll without a SGD account can be challenging.
