Pay USD premiums from SGD bank account

You can pay your USD policy premium using your SGD bank account in two ways.

Option 1: Pay using your bank’s exchange rate (available for all USD policies)

Your bank converts SGD to USD using its real-time exchange rate and transfers the funds to Manulife.

Note: Clearing banks may impose additional charges. You will be responsible for all bank fees incurred for the transfer.

  • Most banks in Singapore (e.g. DBS, UOB, OCBC, Standard Chartered) support overseas transfers in foreign currency directly from your SGD bank account.
  • Your bank converts SGD to USD during the transfer and sends the funds to Manulife’s designated USD bank account.

1. Log in to your bank’s internet or mobile banking app

2. Select “Overseas Transfer” or “Telegraphic Transfer”

3. Enter Manulife’s USD bank account details:

Option 2: Pay using Manulife’s exchange rate (available for Manulife Signature & Heirloom USD policy series)
