How to withdraw bigger denomination notes e.g. $100 from Singapore bank? Or is there better way to give large wedding ang bao not with cash?

Wanted to bless a couple with $2k plus wedding ang bao, but it doesn't seem safe or wise to put so much cash (esp in $50 denomination) in ang bao (v thick also) and drop it at the wedding reception. Giving by internet transfer without an ang bao is not sincere or nice.

Is there a better/safer way to give large amt of ang bao, or how to get $100 denomination notes without having to queue and get it from bank staff? Not many atm machine dispense $100 notes. Cheque is not an option for me as i do not have current account, and banks now charge for cheques.

During CNY, some banks offer the service of QR code printed paper to put into ang bao, but that is not in service now.

Not sure what's so sincere about physical money in an angpao vs e-money.

Blows my mind how a red paper envelope embodies sincerity.

A $10000 e-angbao is 1000x more sincere than a $10 physical ang pao anytime.

Most couples nowadays do with e-transfer ald. No qualm about jot being physical angbao, more convenient for the couple also

What's the best way to transfer a large sum of HKD from a Hong Kong bank account to a Singapore Bank Account?

I am currently outstation in Thailand, i will monthly transfer $2k cash from baht to sg dollars to Singapore to service my HDB loan?is there any ways i can save on the remittance fees or bank charges by using other options? Thanks.?

For bank accounts with no salary crediting, which one would give the best interest for e.g. 30k funds? Or would it be better to put it in a FD or SSB as the funds are not ended urgently?

If I'm risk-averse and need the sum of money in about 3-4 years time, should I just leave it in the bank or can I consider investing in bonds, e.g. Endowus' 100% Cash Bond Portfolio?

When people mention the goal of "saving $100,000 by age 30", are they referring to cash in the bank or net worth including investments? Isn't $100,000 too much to have in the bank?
