Buy Singapore dollars (SGD) before you leave for Singapore
A trip to Singapore means discovering a country with a thousand facets : modern cities, a multitude of cultures and architecture that you will not find anywhere else. However, it is important to prepare your trip well before leaving by finding out as much as possible about your destination country in order to be familiar with its practices and customs, as well as the use of the country's official currency, which in this case is the Singapore dollar (SGD). For some of your purchases and activities, it will be useful to have cash, although the use of bank cards is widespread. For this reason, it is advisable to do the GBP SGD exchange before you leave for this memorable adventure

When do you need cash in Singapore?
Card payments are widely accepted in Singapore, but there are still some situations in which it is very useful to have cash on hand.
Hawker centres – large open-air food complexes filled with street-food stalls where you can try all the country’s specialities at affordable prices – are everywhere. However, the vast majority of these stalls only accept cash. Make sure you bring dollars with you to avoid leaving on an empty stomach!
Some traditional shops also prefer cash over card payments. Similarly, if you wish to make donations during visits to Chinese, Hindu or Buddhist temples, you will need to have cash dollars with you.
In general, having SGD in cash is always a good practice to help you manage emergency situations (a phone running out of battery, a payment terminal failure or poor network coverage).
