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.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
