Singapore Dollar on U.CASH

The Singapore dollar settles on PayNow, the city-state's instant payment layer: a mobile number or entity ID registered at a bank receives dollars in seconds from any Singaporean banking app.

Rails settle it at checkout; pegged tokens settle it on-chain. Both live on the same non-custodial U.CASH checkout.

How to accept SGD at checkout

Step 01

Open a checkout

A store, a payment link, or an embedded checkout on U.CASH Pay lists what buyers can pay with. For Singapore Dollar, that includes the PayNow rail alongside card processing.

Step 02

Set your prices in SGD

Your prices stay denominated in Singapore Dollar. The checkout derives the crypto amount live at payment time when a buyer pays with a digital asset, and the SGD figure is what your ledger reconciles against.

Step 03

Get paid

Buyers in the rail's reach settle through PayNow, and buyers paying the SGD-pegged token settle on-chain to your wallet. Each payment arrives with its reference and transaction detail in the record.

Step 04

Settle your way

Hold receipts, convert them on a schedule, or pay out through the rails that reach your bank. Nothing about the currency choice locks the treasury path.

A practical composition for a Singapore Dollar merchant: the local rail wins domestic transactions on cost and speed, cards cover the buyers who reach for plastic, and the SGD peg carries cross-border settlement without correspondent banks. Offer all of them from one checkout and let each payment find its natural path; the invoice stays in SGD whichever leg carries it.

The on-chain alternative

One SGD-pegged token trades on U.CASH: XSGD (XSGD). It settles as a standard token on its home chain, so a Singapore Dollar receipt can arrive on-chain without any bank in the loop, and the peg holds the two forms of the currency equivalent for accounting.

Singapore Dollar: FAQ

How fast are Singapore dollar payments?
PayNow settles in seconds, 24/7, across all participating banks in Singapore.
Is there an SGD stablecoin?
Yes, XSGD: issued 1:1 against Singapore dollars, acceptable at checkout and swappable non-custodially on U.CASH.
How do I price SGD when buyers pay crypto?
Price in Singapore Dollar and let the checkout derive: the invoice carries the SGD figure, the buyer's wallet sees the crypto equivalent at live rates, and your ledger reconciles against the SGD denomination. The currency of record never changes.
Should I hold the SGD peg or convert out on receipt?
Holding the pegged token keeps the exposure in Singapore Dollar terms, which suits a business whose costs are in Singapore Dollar. Converting on receipt into your operating currency removes the exposure at the cost of the conversion fee. Both are checkout settings, changeable anytime.
