Take your pick: SIA unveils multi-currency payment option

Say goodbye to money changers.

SIA fliers can now pay in the currency of their choice, thanks to a recent partnership with the Royal Bank of Scotland.

SIA is now part of FXmicropay, RBS’ multi-currency initiative. This allows the airline’s customers to pay for their flight tickets and other purchases made online in the currency of their choice.

FXmicropay was first launched in April, and its initial currencies include the Australian Dollar (AUD), Euro (EUR), British Pound (GBP), Japanese Yen (JPY), Singapore Dollar (SGD) and the US Dollar (USD). RBS will implement additional currencies for SIA in the second phase in the coming months.

“As one of the world’s leading airlines, SIA is known for its undisputed service excellence. The introduction of multi-currency pricing will enhance the booking and travel experience for the growing number of SIA’s international passengers, through the removal of uncertainties related to currency fluctuations around online transactions,” noted Saket Misra, RBS’s Head of International Banking for Singapore
