Forex Spread in Singapore Banks

Each bank has a internal pricing system on the spot and spread of foreign currency. Let us examine the difference between this rate from the different banks.

Spot rate for AUD on 19 Jan 2012

Bank                Selling               Buying         Spread
DBS                1.3421                1.3202         0.0219
UOB               1.3419                1.3139          0.028  
OCBC             1.3513                1.3156          0.0357  

From this, we see that DBS offer the lowest spread among the local banks, so those interested in Foreign Currency Fix Deposit can consider opening an account with DBS to take advantage of the spread.
