Buying Crypto in Singapore, A Complete Guide on Transferring USD to Binance.com

NOTE: Silvergate Bank has ceased clearing USD for Binance w.e.f 11th Jun 2021. This post will be updated when there is a new USD Clearing bank.

A quick foreword: This is not financial advise. I am not a financial advisor, Cryptocurrency is a very volatile asset class.

Step 1) Setup an account with Binance.com If you haven't already signed-up, you may use the link (Enjoy 10% off your commissions)

Basically you will need to provide some details about yourself (e.g NRIC, etc). This is the standard KYC - Know Your Customer process for most financial services. 

If you have done this step, then please proceed...

Step 2) Deposit fiat (USD or SGD) into my account

There is a few options that Binance provides for us Singaporeans to convert our fiat to BUSD (Token form of USD) - used for our purchases.

• P2P Trading
• Credit/Debit Card
• SWIFT Transfer (USD)

In my experience using the SWIFT (Telegraphic Transfer) is the most economical option to deposit your fiat.

A quick explanation on the cons of the other 2. 

P2P Trading basically involves you and another entity exchanging a digital currency (e.g USDT,BUSD, BTC) for fiat. 

Depending on the rates the seller offers, you would then agree and transact outside of Binance. It is generally safe (if you transact with reputable sellers). But once again, the spread is not exactly great.

Credit/Debit Card is by far the worse option to use, as it incurs a 3% cross border charge and in some cases (as it is considered as a form of cash advance, you will see a 6% fee). 

Verdict: Skip these two options.

So lets move on to SWIFT Transfer:

If you have a DBS (or any local bank) account, you will have the option to remit cash. DBS has 0 remittance fees and offer decent USD->SGD exchange rates - hence it will be my choice for the TT.

1) Access the 'Wallet'->'Fiat and Spot' hamburger menu

2) Click "Deposit" at the top right corner

 

3) Populate the deposit details and desired amount

• Select "USD"
• Use (SWIFT)
• Enter the Amount (in USD)

4) Click "Confirm"

You will be prompted with a message similar to the mock-up below. It basically informs you that your account name (from the bank you are sending the swift) has to be the same as the NRIC (Remember the KYC process you completed during the account opening)

Click Confirm  - You will see the details of the swift transfer we are required to make. We are half-way there. 

Take note of your "Reference Code"; we will need this later when we do the payment instructions.

5) Log-in to your DBS Account iBanking (desktop):

Select Transfer -> "DBS Remit and Overseas Transfer"

6) Click 'New Recipient'

Fill the form as follows:

        1. Select Country: "United States"

        2. Recipient's full name (Refer to the Binance swift instruction - Beneficiary Account Name)

        3. Select "Other Banks" - Copy and paste the SWIFT code click 'Find SWIFT Code'

        4. Copy the address lines 1,2 and Account numbers from the Binance payment page into our recipient details.

7) <Important> Fill the Payment Details for Recipient with your Binance Reference Code.

8) Verify and Submit

Congratulations if you have made it so far, you have just successfully initiated a transfer of fiat into your Binance.com account. 

If you had done this on a working day, it typically (based on experience) takes less than 8-10 hours for the funds to show up in your Binance account. However do not worry if it doesn't show up within the same day. As Binance states that it may take between 2-4 business days to clear from Silvergate bank.

The amount transferred in USD, will appear as BUSD on Binance. This is the stable coin version of the USD and has a 1:1 exchange with the Fiat USD. 

FAQ: 

How long does the transfer take?

The transfer typically takes 1 working day to clear. First time transfers may take longer. But based on experience it usually clears within 8-12 hours.

Do note that the transfer will be sent by DBS in Singapore working hours and processed by Silvergate Bank during US working hours.

What happens if I forget to include my reference code?

Do not worry, remittances have a tracking number and DBS will contact you to resolve the error. Note that this might take some time as Silvergate has to manually trace the origin and would likely contact DBS. There may also but certain charges involved but your monies are safe. Alternatively, you could also raise an appeal in Binance for them to investigate.

Shoetree Project - A Review of Quality Shoe Care Products in Singapore

Quality dress shoes are expensive, but they can last decades - especially if they are cared for properly. I used to think nothing about the maintenance of my shoes, until i started buying leather shoes that cost more than a few hundred - shoes that would be too expensive to throw away.

This was when i started to wonder how i could properly maintain and extend their lifespan, effectively stretching that dollar on the 'investment'.

That’s where shoe trees and proper leather polishing/nourishing products come in. Some men look at these wooden shoe inserts as an unnecessarily expensive purchase, but shoe trees are crucial to keeping shoes in amazing shape as they age.

Here's why.

DO I NEED SHOE TREES?

Our feet sweat throughout the day, and the leather and lining of our shoes absorb all that moisture. This can cause the lining to rot, your shoes to smell, and the leather to crack over time, thereby ruining your expensive footwear.

A shoe tree holds a shoe in its proper shape so it dries out correctly, and keeps the leather from cracking by wicking away moisture. The absorbent wood also helps dry out the lining of shoes so that they don’t rot from the inside out.

Long story short: Shoe trees are a whole lot cheaper than a new pair of nice shoes, and will keep your current pair in excellent condition for years.

I would highly recommend spending on a good pair of shoe trees if your shoes cost more than $200. Quality shoe trees will have ventilation slots at the toe to help dissipate moisture, a longer, crafted heel, and contain more wood for better drying and odor control. They will also ensure the closest possible fit between the shoe and tree. This is necessary to maintain the shape of the shoe as well as to absorb moisture.

(Pro tip: When the smell of the cedar starts to fade, you can lightly sand the shoe tree to bring it back.)

WHERE CAN I GET GOOD QUALITY SHOE CARE PRODUCTS?

This is the most common question about shoe trees and products, especially when everything is so expensive in Singapore. I remember back in 2007 when i started sourcing for cedar shoe trees, they were really hard to find and the ones i found would cost $70-100 per pair.

The folks at Shoetree Project seem to have realised this gap and have sent me some of their products to review. They are the Cedar Shoe Tree in Sz 39, Saphir Pommadier Cream Shoe Polish and the Japanese Oakwood Shoe Horn.



Firstly, Saphir makes excellent quality shoe care products and i highly recommend the Renovateur and the Pommadier Cream for your shoes. Shoetree.sg literally sells them at cost and provides free delivery! 😍

Next up, the Cedar Shoe Tree. I was pleasantly surprised by the unmistakable smell of quality Cedarwood and even more impressed by the sizing and fit. The sz 39 *(please check out their size charts) fit like a glove on my Loake shoes. The spring loaded mechanism on the exterior side ensured that the shoe retains its shape - an important aspect of a quality shoe tree. Aesthetically, the brass knobs on the top of the shoe tree adds a nice touch to your shoes when it does its job of wicking the moisture whilst sitting in your cabinet.

Last by definitely not least is the Japanese Oak shoe horn. I personally like to sit on my ottoman to wear my dress shoe but this shoe horn would be a great addition for those who wear slip-ons, loafers and moccasins.

Summary

It would be ideal to have a shoe tree in every nice (expensive) pair of shoes you own, but it’s not absolutely necessary as long as you rotate your shoes and shoe trees throughout the week. 

But if you’re a huge fan of all your shoes or have a vast collection of expensive footwear, then buy a shoe tree for every single pair. At the $35 price point, there is practically nothing else i can recommend. If you haven't got one, i would highly recommend you try the ones by shoetree.sg - your feet, wallet and shoes will thank you for it!
