Almost half of B2B companies in SG incur cross-border fees ranging US$10-US$25

The rate is above the average observed in other markets, including the US and the UK.

Four in 10 business-to-business companies in Singapore incur fees ranging from US$10 to US$25 per cross-border transaction, data from Rapyd showed.

Some even incur around US$25-US$50 (26%) and over US$50 (14%) per transaction.

According to Rapyd, Singapore’s average cross-border transaction fees are above the “average observed across its surveyed markets, which include the United States and the United Kingdom.

Across other surveyed markets, only 36% of businesses face cross-border transaction fees within the same US$10 to US$25 range.

Rapyd warned that “elevated costs can hinder growth, limit expansion opportunities, and strain resources, posing a direct challenge to firms striving to capitalize on cross-border commerce and highlighting larger inefficiencies in the system.”

Chart of the Day

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.
