The DBS Bank Singapore dollar to Franc 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-CHF 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.

Recent developments in the currency markets suggest a bearish outlook for the Singapore Dollar (SGD) against the Swiss Franc (CHF), reflecting heightened concerns over global trade dynamics. Analysts note that the imposition of a 10% tariff on imports from Singapore by the U.S. has exacerbated negative sentiment towards emerging Asian currencies. This tariff, part of a broader trade war initiated by U.S. President Donald Trump, has led to significant declines in regional currencies, with the SGD trading at 0.6359, approximately 2.6% below its 3-month average of 0.6531. The SGD has experienced considerable volatility, fluctuating within a 9.3% range, reflecting uncertainty in the market.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Singapore dollar to Swiss franc:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Swiss franc with Singapore dollar, then it's better for the SGD/CHF 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.

There are a few laws and regulations in Switzerland that expats may need to be aware of:
Check travel advisories: Before planning your trip, check the latest travel advisories and security information from your government's foreign affairs department or equivalent, to stay informed about the most current safety and security risks.
Get vaccinated: Check with your healthcare provider or a travel medicine specialist to ensure that you are up to date on any required or recommended vaccinations for travel to the DRC.
Plan your route carefully: Avoid traveling to areas that are considered to be dangerous or that have ongoing conflicts. Some parts of the country are completely off-limits to foreigners, so be sure to plan your route and accommodations accordingly.
Be prepared for unexpected delays: The DRC has a poorly developed infrastructure and transport can be unreliable. Be prepared for flight delays, cancellations, or other transport-related issues.
Be aware of the local laws: Be sure to familiarize yourself with the local laws and customs of the DRC to avoid any misunderstandings or legal issues.
Have emergency contact: Make sure someone know your itinerary, and contact information for emergency and consular assistance.
Have contact of good medical facilities and emergency medical evacuation services in case of any emergency situation.
Expats should be aware of these laws and regulations, and should consult with the local authorities and/or a legal professional if they have any questions or concerns. It's always good to check with the local authorities if something is not clear.
Switzerland has some restrictions and additional fees that may apply to property purchases by foreigners. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
Restrictions on second homes: In some cantons (regions) and municipalities, there may be restrictions on the purchase of second homes by foreigners, particularly in popular ski and tourist areas. These restrictions are usually put in place to prevent the local housing market from becoming too expensive for residents.
Additional fees: Foreigners may be subject to additional taxes and fees when purchasing property in Switzerland. These can include a federal withholding tax of 3% on the purchase price, as well as cantonal and municipal taxes.
Permits: In some cases, foreigners may also be required to obtain a permit from the local authorities in order to purchase property in Switzerland, which can take some time to process and may involve additional fees.
Rental properties: If you are planning to purchase a property as a rental, be aware that some cantons have restrictions on short-term rentals, and also have strict regulations that must be followed.
Mortgages: Foreigners may also find it more difficult to obtain a mortgage from a Swiss bank, as the lending criteria may be different from what they are used to. They may also be required to provide a larger deposit, or to pay higher interest rates.
Inheritance Tax: Switzerland does not have a federal inheritance tax but some cantons do have an inheritance tax, which can be significant in some cases.
It's worth noting that these rules and regulations can vary depending on the location and the specific property being purchased, so it's important to do your research and consult with a local real estate professional, lawyer or a tax expert to ensure you understand the requirements and costs associated with purchasing property in Switzerland as a foreigner.
