Clearing A US Check In Singapore

If you live in Singapore, you will know that the processing and admin charges to clear a US check is actually quite high. Dropping your check in the local bank check box will cost your around $10-$20 USD. Reason for the high admin fees is because there are 3 transactions that you have to pay a fee for. The local bank processing fee, the US bank processing fee and the wire transfer fees.

With such high charges, our profit margin readily reduces by quite a bit, especially if your check is in a small amount. I consulted a few of my Internet Marketing friends and they recommended me to deposit my Clickbank checks at Travelex Singapore. According to them, the admin charges to clear a US check from Travelex is only SGD$10, which equates to about only $7.40USD. You can definitely save some money just by simply depositing your check with Travelex.

If you need the address to Travelex, here you go;

    That’s a good suggestion… how about transferring USD money out from Paypal… Paypal do have direct deposit into SGD account but the currency exchange rate is bad…. is that a good way to transfer the USD out from Paypal without suffering too high loss on currency exchange?
