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

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
