Fee and speed scenarios (Singapore to India)
Scenario 1: monthly recurring support
For planned recurring transfers, many senders prioritize stable total cost and reliable payout windows.

First-time transfers can include extra checks compared with repeat sends.
Always verify final fee, ETA, and recipient amount in checkout.
