What is the SGD/AUD exchange rate?

SGD is issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) (ranked 10th globally - meaning it's the 10th most bought and sold currency in the world). AUD is issued by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) (ranked 7th). Full SGD profile | Full AUD profile

Frequently asked questions
Is now a good time to convert SGD to AUD?
Timing currency conversion depends on your personal situation rather than market conditions alone. Check the rate panel above to see the current SGD/AUD rate, then compare it against historical levels using the chart to understand whether this represents a favorable moment for your specific travel plans.
Consider your trip dates, budget flexibility, and how much currency you need - these factors matter more than trying to catch the perfect rate. The Monetary Authority of Singapore and Reserve Bank of Australia don't coordinate on exchange rates, so you're watching two independent monetary policy paths.
What moves the SGD/AUD exchange rate?
The SGD/AUD rate reflects the relative economic strength of Singapore and Australia. Key drivers include interest rate decisions from the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Reserve Bank of Australia, commodity prices (especially iron ore and coal, which drive Australian export revenues), trade flows between the two nations, and broader risk sentiment in Asia-Pacific markets.
Singapore's economy is finance and services-driven, while Australia's is heavily resource-dependent, so energy and metal prices create divergent pressures on this pair. Political stability, inflation data, and capital flows between Southeast Asia and the South Pacific also influence daily movements.
Will Singapore Dollar get stronger or weaker against Australian Dollar?
We don't forecast currency direction - the data shows what has happened, not what will happen next. To form your own view, monitor the Monetary Authority of Singapore's policy stance versus the Reserve Bank of Australia's, watch commodity prices (which heavily influence Australian economic outlook), and track growth differentials between the two economies.
The comparison table on this page lets you see historical performance, giving you context for understanding the pair's typical behavior. Both central banks publish economic calendars and policy statements that you can review to assess where each economy is heading.
How can I avoid fees when converting SGD to AUD?
Fees vary widely across banks, money transfer services, and currency exchange providers - there's no single answer that applies to everyone. Large Australian banks may have partnership arrangements with Singapore banks that reduce costs for SGD to AUD transfers, while online transfer platforms often quote all-in rates with fees built in.
Always request the full fee schedule from your provider before committing, and compare the total cost (exchange rate plus fees) across multiple options using the rate panel as a reference point. Some providers waive fees for larger transfers, so the cheapest option depends on how much currency you're moving.
Should I exchange Australian Dollar at home or abroad?
Exchange rates and fees differ significantly between Singapore banks, Australian banks, and local money changers in both countries, so there's no universal answer. Singapore's financial hub status means competitive SGD/AUD rates are often available at home through banks and licensed money changers before you travel.
However, airport exchanges in both countries typically charge wider margins than city-center providers - compare rates on this page to what you'd see in Singapore's Orchard Road area or Australia's CBD before assuming where is cheapest. Plan ahead and convert the bulk of your currency before traveling, reserving only a small amount for airport contingencies.
How far does Singapore Dollar go in Australia?
Cost of living comparison between Singapore and Australia depends heavily on which Australian city you're visiting and your lifestyle - Sydney and Melbourne are more expensive than regional areas. Check the rate panel above to see the current SGD/AUD conversion, then research specific costs (accommodation, dining, transport) for your destination to calculate your real purchasing power.
Singapore salaries and living costs are generally higher than most Australian cities, but accommodation and dining in Sydney's CBD rivals Singapore's premium areas. Your SGD budget will stretch further in regional Australia than in major coastal cities, and understanding local prices in AUD will help you plan spending better than the exchange rate alone.
What is the cheapest way to send SGD to AUD?
The cheapest method depends on transfer size, speed requirements, and your banks' relationships - there's no single winner for all situations. Singapore's largest banks (DBS, UOB, OCBC) often offer competitive rates for transfers to Australian banks, while specialist money transfer services compete on lower fees for smaller amounts.
Compare total costs (not just the rate shown in the panel above) including wire fees, correspondent bank charges, and exchange margins across at least three providers before deciding. Larger transfers sometimes qualify for better rates from traditional banks, while smaller amounts may be cheaper via online platforms that focus on competitive pricing over traditional banking fees.

How this rate is calculated
We prefer a direct rate from our primary data source when one is available. If a direct quote is unavailable, we compute a cross-rate through a major intermediary currency (usually USD or EUR). When a rate is derived rather than directly quoted, we label it on the page. Full methodology.
