Converting currencies in Interactive Brokers

New to investing here. I just signed up for Interactive Brokers, and was charged S$2.78 in commission for converting SGD to USD. I know that FX rates on IBKR are almost spot rates, but would it be better to transfer USD to my IBKR account from my DBS multi-currency account/YouTrip to avoid the commission fee, or continue converting SGD to USD from Interactive Brokers?

Anything below $800, transfer sgd to moomoo/tiger, exchange into usd, and withdraw usd back go dbs mca (free), and transfer to ibkr :))

I don't remember being able to withdraw money from YouTrip

Depends how much you are converting and the fees involved to transfer. Do a comparison the next time...
