What we've measured on SGD → LKR
Across 46 days of our own recorded quotes, the gap between the best and worst provider on this corridor has run at a median of 2.8% (widest single day: 3.1%). On a 1,000 SGD transfer that is the difference between the best and worst choice.
The leader has not changed once in that window — Wise has topped this corridor every day we have recorded it. That makes it unusually stable, but it is still worth checking before you send.
Provider rates on this corridor are measured against Wise's published mid-market rate. No central bank publishes a rate for LKR, so the yardstick here comes from Wise — which we also rank, and which therefore sits exactly at the reference by definition. We disclose this rather than hide it.
Recipients in Sri Lanka can be paid via cash pickup and a bank account, based on what the providers above actually price for this corridor.
Figures come from our own append-only rate history, not from provider marketing. See the methodology and rate trends.
Sending SGD from Singapore
Transfer providers sending from Singapore are licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) under the Payment Services Act. Transfers are commonly funded by bank transfer (PayNow/FAST) or card.
This page compares providers for the Singapore → Sri Lanka corridor specifically, ranked by how much LKR your recipient actually receives after fees and the exchange-rate margin — not by the headline fee alone.
