If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to send money from Singapore to Malaysia, you’re in the right place.
Tired of getting poor exchange rates from banks or other financial platforms? At YouTrip, we use Wholesale Exchange Rates (also known as the interbank rate, the rate banks use between themselves). These are real-time rates close to the published rates you see on Google, XE.com, and other financial sites. This means no unnecessary markups, just the best SGD to MYR rates you can find. ✨
Check what’s up with the SGD to MYR rate here before you send!

Send money overseas with low transfer fees! You’ll enjoy 100% transparency every step of the way. We show you the fees upfront, so you’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for each transfer. No hidden fees, no guesswork, just savings 💰
Because every transfer uses the wholesale exchange rate with no markup added on top, what your recipient gets stays close to the mid-market rate, not a marked-up bank rate. On larger transfers, that difference adds up.

FAQs
PayNow on its own is for local Singapore transfers, but you can still reach Malaysia instantly. With YouTrip, top up your wallet via PayNow, then send to a Malaysian bank account or via DuitNow (Malaysia’s instant-payment network). You can send up to S$20,000 per transfer this way, well above the S$1,000 daily cap on the bank PayNow-DuitNow link.
Open the YouTrip app, tap Transfer Overseas, select MYR, then add your recipient as a Bank Account or DuitNow transfer. Enter the amount in SGD, slide to send, and they’ll receive it in ringgit, often the same day or instantly via DuitNow.
For a bank transfer, you’ll need their full name, Malaysian bank name, and account number, exactly as they appear on the account. For a DuitNow transfer, their DuitNow-registered ID (such as a mobile number) is enough.
YouTrip sends at the wholesale exchange rate with no markup added on top, so you’re not losing a few percent to a marked-up bank rate. Check the live rate on our SGD to MYR rate guide before you send, then transfer when you’re happy with it.
This guide covers Singapore to Malaysia transfers. To go the other way, you’d use a Malaysian bank or transfer app, the fees and rates work the same way, so always check the SGD amount that actually lands, not just the headline fee.
