Singapore Dollar to Malaysian Ringgit Exchange Rate Chart — 1-Year Weekly Trend
This SGD to MYR exchange rate chart plots the estimated weekly SGD/MYR trend over the past year, so you can see how the currency pair has moved beyond today's live mid-market rate.
Read it alongside the currency converter above to judge whether the Singapore Dollar is trading strong or weak against the Ringgit before you exchange money, send a transfer to Malaysia or plan a forex trade — in other words, how many Malaysian Ringgit a single SGD buys week to week. Longer swings usually track Bank Negara Malaysia and MAS policy, inflation and cross-border demand. Over the last 90 days the rate has trended upward (+9.17%).
30 Day and 90 Day Averages
In an illustrative month the 30 day average was 3.2290 MYR per 1 SGD, with a 30 day high of 3.2561 and a 30 day low of 3.2018, while the 90 day average was 3.2174.
Mid-Market Rate, Bank Rates and Your Currency Converter
The mid-market exchange rate sits halfway between buy and sell prices, and providers add a spread on top of it. Compare providers on the real cost, meaning the amount that arrives, and note the estimated savings against your own bank.
Mid-Market Rate vs Bank Rates
Specialists advertise bank-beating rates because banks often add 1% to 3%, so a 1.5% spread on 2,850 SGD costs 138.58 MYR. The spot rate is the same quote for immediate delivery.
Currency Exchange Fees and Hidden Fees
On an SGD to MYR transfer, some exchange fees show on the quote, while others hide in the margin: a 1% margin on 2,850 SGD costs about 92.39 MYR. Weekdays often carry no extra charge, and a plan with fair usage limits can make conversions cheaper.
Money Transfer Fees and Exchange Limits
A money transfer may add transfer fees: a flat 3 SGD fee on 250 SGD cuts the MYR received from 810.43 to 800.71, and above your plan's limit each conversion costs more.
Johor Bahru Deposit: A Currency Conversion Case Study
A Singapore contractor needs 13,400 MYR by Friday for a Johor Bahru flat deposit and first month, and has 4,127.60 SGD saved. Before choosing a route, they enter 4,127.60, pick SGD as the source and MYR as the target, and the converter shows a mid-market rate of 3.2381.
The result is 4,127.60 × 3.2381 = 13,365.58 MYR, already 34.42 MYR short, and that is before any provider margin. A specialist transfer with a 0.6% margin applies 3.2187 and delivers 13,285.39 MYR. The contractor's bank, at 1.8%, applies 3.1798 and delivers 13,125.00 MYR, a gap of 160.39 MYR between the two routes.
| Route | Rate applied | SGD needed for 13,400 MYR |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-market, no margin | 3.2381 | 4,138.23 |
| Specialist, 0.6% margin | 3.2187 | 4,163.21 |
| Bank, 1.8% margin | 3.1798 | 4,214.08 |
Working backwards, dividing 13,400 by 3.2187 gives 4,163.21 SGD, so rounding up to 4,164 SGD through the specialist route lands 13,402.62 MYR, just over the deposit. The same sum through the bank would need 4,214.08 SGD, which is more than the contractor has.
My judgement: the margin matters more than it looks, but timing matters more still. A 0.03 drop in the rate before Friday would cut the 4,127.60 SGD result by 123.83 MYR, more than the whole difference between a good and a mediocre provider, so if the deadline is firm, convert now rather than waiting for a better quote. One caveat is that the mid-market figure on screen is a reference price, not an offer, so always recompute with the rate the provider confirms.
Send Money: Transfer Singapore Dollars to Malaysia
When you send money from Singapore to Malaysia, look for global reach, 24/7 tracking and the option to spend cash locally.
FCA-Regulated Providers and Security
Choose FCA-regulated providers with fraud checks and strong security; for a Singapore-to-Malaysia transfer also confirm the licence and the rate they quote, because market fluctuations can change the final amount before your transfer lands. International transfers settle faster with regulated firms.

Why SGD/MYR Moves: Interest Rates and Inflation
The gap between Singapore and Malaysian monetary policy is the main driver of the pair.
Interest Rate Differentials and Market Risk
Interest rate differentials, inflation expectations and market risk all push the rate: when Malaysian rates rise against Singapore's, each SGD buys fewer MYR, and market fluctuations can reverse a move overnight.
