Is today's SGD/ILS rate good or bad?
We compare today's live Singapore Dollar to Israeli Shekel mid-market rate against its 30-day and 52-week trading range.

The live analysis below updates throughout market hours and shows exactly where today's rate sits in context.
What is the SGD/ILS exchange rate?
The SGD/ILS rate tracks how many Israeli Shekel one Singapore Dollar buys. Uniquely among major currencies, SGD is managed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore using the exchange rate itself as the primary monetary policy tool, rather than interest rates.
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). ILS is issued by the Bank of Israel (BOI) (ranked 25th). Full SGD profile | Full ILS profile

On a typical conversion, banks add 2-4% to this rate. The gap between the mid-market rate and what you actually receive is the real cost of converting - often larger than any flat fee.

Frequently asked questions
Is now a good time to convert SGD to ILS?
Timing currency conversions requires monitoring both the Monetary Authority of Singapore's policy stance and the Bank of Israel's interest rate decisions, since rate differentials drive short-term SGD/ILS moves. Check the rate panel above to see where the pair trades relative to its recent range, then consider your personal travel timeline and budget - the best conversion time depends on when you need the Israeli Shekels, not on market timing.
Economic data releases from Singapore (GDP growth, inflation) and Israel (employment, consumer spending) can create volatility, so watching these announcements may help you identify stable conversion windows.
What moves the SGD/ILS exchange rate?
The SGD/ILS pair reflects interest rate differentials set by the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Bank of Israel, with higher Israeli rates typically supporting Shekel strength. Singapore's economy - driven by trade, financial services, and oil refining - responds to global commodity prices and US dollar movements, while Israel's Shekel is sensitive to geopolitical developments in the Middle East, tech sector performance, and capital flows.
Central bank policy divergence is the dominant driver: when Singapore's monetary policy tightens faster than Israel's, the SGD tends to appreciate, and vice versa.
Will Singapore Dollar get stronger or weaker against Israeli Shekel?
No one can reliably predict currency movements. The SGD/ILS rate depends on unpredictable factors including geopolitical events in the Middle East, shifts in central bank policy, global trade patterns, and capital flows between financial hubs - all of which can shift rapidly.
Factors to watch include statements from the Monetary Authority of Singapore on monetary policy, the Bank of Israel's inflation targeting, and changes in Singapore's export volumes and Israel's government spending.
How can I avoid fees when converting SGD to ILS?
Most banks and currency exchange services charge markup fees on the SGD/ILS pair, typically 2-5% above the real mid-market rate you see in the chart above. Specialist money transfer services often offer better margins than traditional banks for this currency pair, and some online platforms allow you to lock in rates in advance.
Compare the all-in cost (exchange rate plus fees) across multiple providers before committing, since a slightly better rate with a low-cost platform often beats a major bank's poor rate plus high fees.
Should I exchange Israeli Shekel at home or abroad?
In Singapore, major banks and licensed moneychangers in the Changi Airport and central business district typically offer competitive SGD/ILS rates because they process high volumes. Once you arrive in Israel, banks and ATMs will convert SGD to ILS, but their rates often include larger markups than pre-travel exchange.
Compare rates at a Singapore moneychanger against what you'd pay withdrawing Israeli Shekels from an Israeli ATM using your Singapore debit card - ATM fees can be lower than upfront exchange markups if your bank has reasonable foreign withdrawal terms.
How far does Singapore Dollar go in Israel?
Israel's cost of living varies widely by location and category: Tel Aviv is expensive for accommodation and dining, while smaller cities like Beersheba offer lower prices. Check current pricing for your specific travel needs (hotels, food, transport) in Israeli Shekels using travel guides, then convert those amounts to SGD using the rate panel above to see your actual daily budget.
Singapore dollars have moderate purchasing power in Israel compared to global peers, meaning a modest daily SGD budget stretches further outside major tourist zones.
What is the cheapest way to send SGD to ILS?
Specialist remittance platforms and fintech money transfer services typically charge lower fees than banks for sending SGD from Singapore to Israel, though rates vary by transfer size and payment method. Bank transfers from Singapore may take 2-5 business days and charge higher margins, while online providers often settle in 1-2 days with transparent fees displayed upfront.
For sums over SGD 5,000, compare quotes from at least three providers side-by-side, including wire transfer costs, exchange margins, and delivery speed - the cheapest option depends on your urgency and amount.

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.
