Maybank exchange rates

See how Maybank's exchange rates stack up for your next international money transfer.

Updated Oct 27, 2020. What changed?

Fact checked

If you need to transfer money overseas or receive an overseas payment, the competitiveness of the exchange rate you’re offered can make a big difference to the amount of money that ends up with you or your recipient at the end of the day. However, the exchange rates are everchanging and will also vary widely from one money transfer service to another.

This guide shows the typical foreign currency exchange rates at Maybank, and how they compare to some other options.

What are Maybank’s exchange rates like?

Take a look at the foreign exchange rates Maybank is offering in the table below. This table is accurate as of 27 October 2020.

When looking at the table, the buying rate is used when you sell a foreign currency to Maybank and converted to Singapore dollars in exchange. The selling rate, on the other hand, is when Maybank buys your Singapore dollars and convert it into the foreign currency you need. This is the exchange rate you’ll need to pay if you want to send local currency overseas.

Also known as the interbank rate, the mid-market rate is the price on the halfway point between a bid and offer spread in a financial market. This means that it’s the true exchange rate before having a margin added, a common practice among most banks and money transfer services. You should always compare the rate you’re offered against the mid-market rate to see if it’s a good deal or not. The calculator below will give you an idea of the mid-market rate.

Sending money with Maybank: What to know

What we like

Instant funds transfer to Brunei, Malaysia and the Philippines. Maybank’s RegionLink service provides the convenience of transferring funds to accounts with Maybank in Brunei, Malaysia and the Philippines via Maybank Online Banking instantly at discounted rates.
Wide network. You can send money to virtually anywhere in the world with Maybank’s wide network of correspondent banks.

What to watch out for

Not the best rates. Maybank often adds a larger margin to the exchange rate than specialist money transfer services typically do.
Fees apply. Although Maybank’s overseas transfer fees may be lower than some other banks, it is still high compared to most specialist transfer services. Extra fees such as agent charges can also apply in different circumstances.
