What it costs has two parts: the advertised fee, and the exchange-rate margin kept by paying your recipient less than the mid-market rate. The margin is usually the larger, and is never labelled as a fee. Figures are each provider’s published terms, with the fee figures checked against each provider’s own published schedule — open a provider for a live quote.
Too few checked amounts on this corridor to rank by money, so the order is payout coverage, delivery speed and published fees — a provider with a checked figure is not placed above one without. Affiliate arrangements never affect this order.
No labels are awarded on this corridor. With 4 providers the table is the comparison, and calling one of them best of 4 would dress a short list up as a finding.
Where two providers tie, the one supporting more payout types is listed first, then the faster one, then alphabetically. A label is left unawarded whenever the data we hold cannot support it — we would rather show fewer claims than invented ones. No provider on this corridor publishes its exchange rate in advance, so no Best value is named here. Full methodology
What these figures are
- Fees
- As each provider publishes them, September 2026. A provider that does not publish a fee for this corridor shows none rather than a guess.
- Payout methods, delivery speed, promotions
- Read from each provider’s own pages for this corridor and last reviewed September 2026. Where a provider’s own sources disagree, the disagreement is printed rather than resolved.
Independent — providers cannot pay for placement or ranking · Consistent — every checked amount measured on the same corridor at the same send amount, and any fee quoted on a different basis says so on its own row · Transparent — the advertised fee kept separate from the rate margin
How much you send changes which provider is cheapest
A transfer costs two things: a fee you can see, and a cut of the exchange rate you cannot. They scale in opposite directions, so the best provider for S$200 to Hong Kong is often not the best provider for S$5,000.
The flat fee is most of what you pay
On a small transfer a S$5 fee is a real percentage of the money. A rate margin of half a percent on S$200 is one dollar — small enough to ignore. Sort by the fee and take the lowest one you trust.
The exchange rate is most of what you pay
The fee stops mattering and the rate takes over. Half a percent on S$5,000 is S$25 — five times a typical fee, and no provider calls it a charge. A zero-fee offer on a large transfer is the one most worth checking.
SGD to HKD at common amounts
| You send | Mid-market value | Load into calculator |
|---|---|---|
| SGD 100.00 | HK$613.17 | |
| SGD 250.00 | HK$1,533 | |
| SGD 500.00 | HK$3,066 | |
| SGD 1,000 | HK$6,132 | |
| SGD 2,500 | HK$15,329 | |
| SGD 5,000 | HK$30,659 |
Pick a row to load that amount into the calculator at the top of the page. These are mid-market values, not provider quotes — every service pays your recipient somewhat less, so use them as the figure to measure an offer against.

Before you send to Hong Kong
- Wise's own table states the send amount its cost applies to, and every funding row held identical across two independent reads: 3.25 SGD from a Wise account, 3.23 by bank transfer, 46.79 by debit card. Bank transfer priced marginally below the Wise-account row on both reads, an ordering not seen on the other corridors in this batch.
What it costs to send money to Hong Kong
Sending money from Singapore to Hong Kong converts Singapore dollars (SGD) into Hong Kong dollars (HKD). Most of the real cost is not the headline fee — it is the exchange-rate margin, the gap between your quoted rate and the mid-market rate banks use between themselves. Two providers can both advertise "no fees" and still differ by several percent on what actually arrives.
The Hong Kong dollar has been pegged to the US dollar in a tight trading band since 1983.
That is why the comparison above leads with how your recipient can be paid rather than with a headline price: match the service to how they actually want the money, then check the final quote.
How to choose the right provider
Compare the amount received, not the fee
Enter the same amount with two or three providers and compare what your recipient in Hong Kong actually receives in Hong Kong dollars. That one number folds the fee and the rate margin together.
Match the payout method to your recipient
In Hong Kong the common rails are bank deposit. A slightly pricier provider paying into the wallet or account they already use beats a cheaper one that means a trip to an agent.
Check cash pickup coverage before you send
Remitly and Western Union offer cash pickup in Hong Kong. Check the specific branch is open and stocked before sending, especially outside major cities.
Verify the provider is licensed
Any service moving money out of Singapore should be registered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Everyone we list is — worth checking for any service you find elsewhere.
