Send money to the Netherlands from Singapore
Dutch professionals in Singapore cluster around commodity trading, port logistics, and semiconductor supply chains. Many keep an Amsterdam apartment or support family in Rotterdam while earning in Singapore dollars. The transfer home is not occasional. It is structural.
Grey receives your salary in USD. You convert to EUR and send to ING, ABN AMRO, Rabobank, or any Dutch bank via SEPA. The exchange rate and fee appear as two separate numbers before you confirm.
ING and ABN AMRO process SEPA credits within minutes. Rabobank and Bunq do the same. Your recipient does not need Grey. The EUR lands like any other domestic Dutch payment.
Grey is a financial technology company registered with FinCEN. Not a bank. Over 3 million people in 80+ countries use it. Every transfer encrypted end-to-end.
Every transfer is protected with bank-grade encryption and tracked end-to-end. Grey Inc is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by licensed banking partners.
How to send money to the Netherlands from Singapore
Sign up
Open a Grey account in under 5 minutes. You need a valid passport or Singapore NRIC. Grey Inc is registered with FinCEN at 651 N Broad St, Suite 206, Middletown, DE 19709, United States.
Fund
Your Grey account comes with US banking details. Share them with your employer for salary or with clients for invoices. Money lands in your Grey balance. That is what you send from.

Enter the Dutch IBAN. Check the USD-to-EUR rate and the fee. Confirm. EUR arrives at ING or ABN AMRO typically within minutes.
What it costs to send to the Netherlands
Grey charges a conversion fee and applies a rate close to mid-market. Both visible before confirmation. ING and ABN AMRO do not deduct from incoming SEPA credits. What Grey confirms is what arrives.
SWIFT from a Singapore bank to the Netherlands: SGD 20 to SGD 40 plus a rate margin of 1.5 to 3 percent. Takes 2 to 4 business days. Grey delivers via SEPA in minutes for a fraction of that cost.
The test that matters: enter a fixed EUR amount you need delivered. Check how many USD Grey requires versus your bank. Fewer USD for the same EUR means lower total cost.
Grey locks the rate at confirmation. The local currency amount your recipient receives does not change between when you send and when it arrives.
The USD to EUR rate on your Netherlands transfer
Grey applies a rate close to mid-market and locks it when you tap confirm. The EUR figure does not move after that. ING credits the exact amount Grey committed to.
For an Amsterdam mortgage payment due on the 1st, the rate lock means you know the USD cost on the 28th when you send. No exposure to rate movement over the weekend.
ABN AMRO and Rabobank process SEPA during European business hours. Bunq and Revolut NL support SEPA Instant. Settlement in under 10 seconds where available.
Grey vs bank wire to the Netherlands
Singapore bank SWIFT to the Netherlands: 2 to 4 business days, SGD 25+ fees, potential correspondent bank deductions along the way. SEPA via Grey: minutes, no intermediary deductions.
On a monthly Amsterdam mortgage, the SWIFT timeline means sending 5 days early to be safe. SEPA means sending the day before.
