Money arrives via this rail
vs 2–3 days via the bank

Sending SGD 500 via the bank costs up to SGD 35 in fees.

Most of that is not shown as a fee. The bank adds a hidden margin to the exchange rate — your family receives less IDR than the real rate would give them, and you are never told how much was taken.

This rail shows every cost upfront. The exchange rate used is the real market rate. Move the slider below to see exactly how much you save on your transfer amount.
