The DBS Bank Singapore dollar to Rupee comparison table above makes it easy to compare the Total Fees (both variable and fixed) you are being charged by DBS Bank and other foreign exchange providers against the latest SGD-INR mid-rate (see Market Data below ) and the possible savings of using various providers.
DBS Bank is a Singapore-based multinational bank and is particularly popular in Singapore and the wider Southeast Asia region. The bank has a strong presence in countries such as Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China, where it offers a range of banking and financial services to individuals and businesses. DBS Bank has also expanded its presence in India and other parts of South Asia in recent years.
In addition to its core markets in Asia, DBS Bank has a growing presence in other regions, including the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. The bank has established itself as a leading player in the digital banking space, with a focus on delivering innovative and user-friendly banking services to customers across multiple geographies.
DBS Bank offers international money transfer services that allow customers to send and receive funds from abroad. Customers can initiate a money transfer online or in person at a branch. DBS Bank provides fast and secure international money transfer services with competitive exchange rates and low transfer fees. The bank offers two main types of international money transfer services:
DBS Remit: DBS Remit is an online money transfer service that allows customers to send money from their DBS or POSB account to another bank account overseas. The service is available in 26 currencies and allows for same-day or next-day transfers. DBS Remit also offers preferential exchange rates for selected currencies.
Telegraphic transfers (TT): TT is a traditional method of sending money overseas that involves transferring funds from one bank to another via a secure telegraphic transfer. TT is available in a range of currencies and allows for both incoming and outgoing transfers.
DBS does not publish their exchange rates publicly which is frustrating. Our BER International Money Transfer partners tend to offer guaranteed transparency on all conversions.
Our research shows that on average, DBS profit margin for foreign exchange rates is somewhere between 3 - 7%, depending on the amount you're sending, where you're sending it to and which currency will be received.
When you get a quote for your Global Money Transfer from DBS on their website or in-app, you can also see the DBS exchange rate, but it can be difficult to then calculate how much you are being charged.
While all banks charge this mark-up, the extra amount being charged is much higher than it would be with a global money transfer specialist.

The recent exchange rate forecasts for the Singapore Dollar (SGD) to Indian Rupee (INR) indicate a complex and challenging landscape driven by global trade tensions. Analysts suggest that the SGD is under pressure due to newly imposed tariffs on Singapore imports by the U.S. The announcement of a 10% reciprocal tariff highlights the worsening sentiment for emerging Asian currencies, particularly amidst concerns that these measures are part of a broader trade war strategy initiated by U.S. President Donald Trump. As a result, regional currencies, including the SGD, have seen volatility, with the SGD trading at 14-day highs near 65.24, which is 1.4% above its three-month average of 64.33.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Singapore dollar to Indian rupee:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Indian rupee with Singapore dollar, then it's better for the SGD/INR exchange rate to be higher.
However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).
The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.
Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.
