Best Multi-currency & Travel Cards for Singaporeans (2026)

A multi-currency or travel card lets Singaporeans spend overseas without the typical 3–3.5% foreign-transaction fee that bank credit cards charge. Most let you hold or convert currencies at near-interbank rates and pay by card or mobile wallet abroad. This matters whether you are shopping in Tokyo, paying for a hotel in Bangkok or buying flights online. Below we compare the cards available to Singapore residents, with all fees shown in SGD.

Frequently asked questions

Are multi-currency cards cheaper than my bank credit card overseas?
Usually yes. Singapore bank credit cards typically add a foreign-transaction fee of around 3–3.5%. Multi-currency cards aim to charge little or nothing on supported currencies, though some apply a small markup on weekend trades or unsupported currencies.
Can I withdraw cash overseas with these cards?
Most support overseas ATM withdrawals, but free-withdrawal limits and fees vary by provider. Check each card's ATM policy before relying on it for cash.
Do these cards earn miles or cashback?
Multi-currency cards are built for low FX cost rather than rewards. Some link to your existing rewards credit card so you still earn miles or cashback while avoiding the FX fee.
