Converting foreign currency payments into Singapore Dollars can sometimes prove a challenging and costly process. Processing your incoming international payments with FX International Payments gives you convenient access to funds, thanks to our global banking relationships.

the duration of the contract. There is no minimum drawdown amount and drawdowns can be made to different beneficiaries
Blended Transactions allow you to add additional funds to a drawdown from a Forward Contract. They add rate flexibility
when booking Forward Contracts and help avoid paying fees twice when you only really need to make one final payment.
There are two types of risk when you are managing a business with exposure to foreign currency:
Paying in a supplier's currency is usually the most efficient – although it depends on the nature of your business. You can
complete the transaction on local terms and control when you accept the foreign exchange rate.
