Pros

  • Individuals seeking the utmost transparency when it comes to margins
  • Individuals planning to make significant funds transfers

Cons

  • Individuals seeking to transfer funds quickly to a wide number of currencies
  • Consumers planning to send a small sum of money

Due to its transparency, strong track record and lack of administrative fees, World First is one of the top international money transfer services in Singapore. The remittance service also makes transfers simple and affordable to a range of currencies with relatively short transfer times. World First does require a minimum transfer of S$2,000. However due to all of its strengths, World First is always worth considering if you need to make large transfers.

What Makes World First Stand Out to Consumers?

World First is one of the best money transfer services available to consumers in Singapore. First of all, the platform does not charge administrative fees. Additionally, World First is the most transparent when it comes to their foreign exchange rate margins, which range from 0.5-0.15%. For more information, please refer to the table below. World First also offers price matching for transfers in which it would not lose money. For more information, please contact World First directly.

Transfer Amount
$0 - $750,0000.50%
$750,000 - $7.5 million0.25%
$7.5 million+0.15%

Despite it's competitive pricing, World First does not offer the fastest transfer speed (1-3 days for most major currencies). However, there is no minimum or maximum transaction amount. Yet, World First does charge a small fee for withdrawal amounts that fall below $500 to cover their sending costs. Given these factors, World First is a suitable option for almost anyone especially those who want to send a small amount of money.
