The best time to transfer money overseas is typically when mid-market exchange rates are most favorable, often during mid-week trading sessions. However, with Panda Remit, you don't need to wait for banking hours. We offer Competitive Exchange Rates 24/7 that are significantly better than traditional banks, combined with Lightning-Fast Transfers that can arrive in as little as 2 minutes, ensuring you lock in the best value instantly.
Understanding Market Timing and Transfer Speed
Finding the optimal time to remit funds involves balancing market fluctuations with transaction speed. While traditional banks often limit high-value transfers to business days, modern fintech solutions allow you to capitalize on rate spikes immediately. Crucially, security should never be compromised for speed. Panda Remit is a Major Payment Institution licensed and strictly regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) under license number PS20200501, ensuring your funds are safe regardless of when you choose to send them.

1. Monitor Real-Time Exchange Rates
Exchange rates fluctuate constantly. Use the Panda Remit app to track live rates. Because we operate 24/7, you can execute a transfer the moment the rate hits your target, rather than waiting for a bank branch to open the next morning.

Once the timing is right, speed is of the essence. In Singapore, use PayNow to fund your transaction seamlessly. This allows Panda Remit to process your funds immediately, with payouts reaching destinations like China (Alipay/WeChat) or India in as little as 2 minutes.
