Hey there,
We have a Singapore company and have clients in Thailand who we need to pay
on a fairly regular basis. Through some research, it seems that Singapore
is a very regulated market for foreign exchange brokers and services.
Does anybody know how we can do this cheaper than using the banks? A
service like Transferwise would be the holy grail.
Appreciate your input!
Best,
Stuart

Stuart, to short cut a bit, this is a deliberately regulated area, which is why concepts like Transferwise have very limited applicability in Singapore. You might shop around with Western Union and a few brokers, but I suspect (much like for GBP) you're going to find most rates uncompetitive, sorry! Niall

Hi,
I contacted Braintree a few months ago and they said that for companies
registered in Singapore, Braintree only supports the collection of
payments, but NOT the payouts to clients (the payout service is only
available for companies regsitered in the U.S.).
I'm not sure whether that service is now coming to Singapore or when, so if
you hear anything, would glad to know. Thanks.
(P/S: For Western Union, they do not allow doing it online in Singapore.
You have to do it offline at a SingPost shop. And the rate will be at least
$25 each time which is not cheaper than telegraphic transfers. Western
Union Online is available in several countries, but mainly in North
America, Europe, Australia, NZ, but not Singapore).
