Deposit usually free or handled by the depositing part via remittance fee. DBS has no charges but you’re at the mercy of their bid spread which can be quite wide.

You can consider deposit into an online broker like SAXO, IBKR, Tiger or Moomoo and swap to SGD before transferring back to your sgd account.
