From Overseas Payments to Bringing Your Foreign Funds Home
A Report by CYS Global Remit Customer Success Management Team
In international business, money does not move in just one direction. Companies need to pay overseas suppliers for goods and services, but they also need to receive payments from foreign customers, repatriate overseas earnings and convert foreign currencies into funds they can use locally.
Managing these transactions efficiently is an important part of running a business. At CYS Global Remit, we understand that businesses need more than a service provider to send money overseas. They also need a reliable partner to support their foreign exchange requirements when money comes back into Singapore.
More Than Just Paying Overseas Suppliers
For many Singapore businesses, paying overseas suppliers is an essential part of daily operations. Whether purchasing raw materials from China, sourcing products from Malaysia or settling invoices with partners in Europe, businesses need dependable cross-border payment solutions to keep their operations running smoothly.
CYS Global Remit supports businesses with overseas supplier payments and foreign exchange services across various markets and currencies. We work with clients to understand their payment requirements and facilitate transactions in line with the relevant arrangements.
However, international business does not end when a payment is made. Businesses must also consider how to manage the money they receive from overseas.
Bringing Foreign Funds Home
Imagine a Singapore company exporting products to overseas customers. After completing a sale, the company receives payment in USD, EUR or other currencies. While these funds represent revenue earned, the company may eventually need to convert them into SGD to pay local salaries, rent, suppliers and other operating expenses.
Similarly, businesses with overseas investments or operations may need to transfer funds back to Singapore for local use. Having a suitable foreign exchange solution can help simplify the process of converting foreign earnings into currencies that meet their financial needs.
CYS supports clients with inward transfers, foreign currency conversion and domestic transfers, subject to the applicable currency, transaction and payment arrangements. Whether your business needs to convert foreign revenue into SGD or exchange one foreign currency for another, our team can help explore suitable solutions based on your requirements.
Supporting Major and Exotic Currencies
Every business has different currency needs. Some regularly transact in major global currencies, while others operate in markets where specialised currency knowledge and payment capabilities are important.
CYS supports foreign exchange requirements involving major G7 currencies, including the US dollar (USD), euro (EUR), British pound (GBP), Japanese yen (JPY) and other supported currencies.
We also support selected exotic currencies, including Asian currencies such as the Indonesian rupiah (IDR) and Malaysian ringgit (MYR) and more. These capabilities are particularly relevant to businesses trading with suppliers and customers across Asia, where receiving, converting and transferring funds in different currencies may be part of their regular operations.
Currency availability, conversion options and payment arrangements depend on the specific transaction and applicable requirements.
