Singapore banking hours from Monday to Friday are 10 a.m. to 3.00 p.m. and 11 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. on Saturday. Most of the banks exchange foreign currencies. Some banks may not be having foreign exchange dealing on Saturdays.

There are neither any black market operations in Singapore nor are there any restrictions on carrying currency in or out of the state. But for the purpose of safety it is suggested to carry not more than $1000 in the form of cash, the rest could be taken in the form of Traveller's Cheques.
