MariBank launches remittance service for retail and business customers

Service is currently offered on an invite-only basis with 10 currencies and 13 destinations.

MariBank has launched MariBank Overseas Transfers, a remittance service for retail and business customers in Singapore offering zero transfer fees.

The service is offered on an invite-only basis with 10 currencies and 13 destinations, with a full rollout set to be available later in April, the Singapore-based digital bank said in a press release.

Transfers will be processed immediately or within one to three business days for most destinations.

More destinations will be introduced in the coming months, MariBank said.

Over 70% of business owners in Singapore have remittance needs and prioritse lower transfer costs, MariBank said, adding that its new remittance service aims to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that transfer large amounts.

A separate consumer survey found “no transfer fees, no agent fees, no hidden fees” as key factors when choosing remittance products.

MariBank also delivers a comprehensive solution for sending Chinese Yuan (CNY) to Mainland China via Alipay, UnionPay, and Wire Transfers. Customers can also enjoy cost savings on popular transfers, including Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and US Dollar (USD) to the United States, MariBank said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
