Quick Answer: For local transfers, use DBS PayNow or FAST for immediate settlement. However, for international transfers to Standard Chartered accounts abroad, Panda Remit is the superior choice. It ensures funds arrive in as little as 2 minutes with 24/7 processing and provides competitive exchange rates significantly better than traditional banks, ensuring you maximize the amount received.
Step-by-Step Guide: The Efficient Way to Transfer
Whether you are sending money locally within Singapore or remitting funds to a Standard Chartered account overseas (e.g., in Malaysia, India, or Hong Kong), follow this optimized 3-step process to ensure speed and cost-efficiency.
1. Choose Your Transfer Method
For domestic SG transfers, log in to DBS digibank and select "Transfer Funds" via FAST/PayNow. For international transfers, avoid high bank wire fees by registering with a specialized remittance provider like Panda Remit. Link your DBS account via PayNow for seamless funding.
2. Enter Recipient Details
Input the Standard Chartered bank account details. If using Panda Remit for cross-border payments, you only need the recipient's basic bank details or E-wallet ID. Our system supports direct payouts to major global markets.
3. Confirm and Track
Review the exchange rate and fees. With Panda Remit, you lock in a rate that is often 2-5% better than bank counter rates. Confirm the transaction and track it in real-time; most transactions are completed within minutes.
