About the USD/SGD exchange rate
The USD/SGDpair matters to anyone moving money between Singapore and the rest of the region — cross-border workers commuting from Johor Bahru, MM2H retirees, Iskandar property investors, parents paying overseas tuition fees, and anyone sending or receiving remittances. Even a 1% difference in the rate adds up: on a S$10,000 transfer that's S$100 left on the table.
The rate shown here is the mid-marketrate — the midpoint between the bid and ask prices on global FX markets. It's the rate banks quote each other, and the rate you'll see on Reuters, Bloomberg, or Google Finance. It is notthe rate you'll receive at a money changer or bank counter; those include a retail margin (typically 0.5%–3%).
Where you actually exchange depends on amount and urgency. Specialist FX providers (Wise, Instarem, Revolut, YouTrip) are typically within 0.5% of mid-market for USD/SGD. High-street banks usually charge 1.5%–3%. Airport kiosks are the worst — sometimes 5% or more. Always compare the all-in rate (after fees) against the mid-market rate above.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current USD to SGD rate?expand_more
The live USD/SGD rate is shown above the calculator. It is sourced from the European Central Bank's daily reference rates (via Frankfurter), with open.er-api.com as a fallback. The rate updates once per business day at around 16:00 CET.
How is the USD to SGD rate calculated?expand_more
This is the mid-market rate — the midpoint between the bid and ask prices on global currency markets. It's the rate banks see, but not the rate you'll get when you actually exchange money. Banks and money changers add a margin (typically 0.5%–3%) on top of the mid-market rate.
What's the difference between mid-market and bank exchange rates?expand_more
Mid-market rates are the "true" rate where the foreign-exchange market clears at any given moment. Banks, money changers, and remittance services quote a "retail" rate that includes their margin. For USD/SGD, retail spreads of 1%–3% are common at airport kiosks; specialist providers like Wise, Revolut, or YouTrip are typically much closer to mid-market.
How often is the USD to SGD rate updated?expand_more
We refresh the rate from upstream providers every hour. The underlying source publishes once per business day, so weekend rates carry Friday's value. The "Last updated" line below the calculator tells you exactly when the displayed rate is from.
Can I use this calculator for cross-border money transfers?expand_more
This calculator is a reference for indicative mid-market rates — it is not a money-transfer service and we don't take a margin on any conversion. For actual transfers between US Dollar and Singapore Dollar accounts, compare specialist providers (Wise, Instarem, Revolut) against your bank's quoted rate; the gap is usually larger than people expect.
