How to Wire Transfer from Citibank US to DBS Bank Singapore

To send a wire from Citibank U.S. to DBS Singapore, follow these steps:

Online (Citibank Online / Citi Mobile App)

1. Log in to Citibank Online or app.
2. Go to Transfers → International Wire Transfer (or "Global Transfers" if both accounts are yours).
3. Select Singapore as destination country.
4. Enter DBS Beneficiary Details:
   • Bank Name: DBS Bank Ltd.
   • Beneficiary Name: Exact name on DBS account
   • Account Number: DBS account number (10–12 digits)
   • SWIFT/BIC: DBSSSGSG (DBS Singapore primary SWIFT)
   • Bank Address: 12 Marina Boulevard, Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3, Singapore 018982
5. Enter Amount & Currency (USD or SGD; DBS accepts both).
6. Add Reference/Remittance Info (e.g., invoice #, "family support").
7. Review fees: Citibank US outgoing wire: $35 (online) / $45 (branch). DBS may charge incoming fee (~SGD 10–20). Intermediary banks may deduct fees.
8. Confirm with 2FA (SMS/email code).
9. Save confirmation (reference #).

Branch / Phone

• Visit any Citibank branch or call CitiPhone (1-800-374-9700).
• Provide same details; teller initiates wire.

Timing

• Cutoff: ~5 PM ET for same-day processing.
• Delivery: 1–3 business days (Singapore is UTC+8; time zone difference).
• Track via Citibank "Transfer Activity" or ask recipient to monitor DBS account.

Tips

• Use "Global Transfers" if you own both accounts—instant, lower fee ($0–$15).
• Ensure beneficiary name matches DBS records exactly (avoid delays).
• For large amounts (>$10k), bank may request source-of-funds docs (AML).
