Major foreign currencies, travellers cheques and cheques can be changed at most banks and licensed moneychangers. Automated teller machine facilities (ATM) are also widely available in Singapore.

Tipping is not common in Singapore. Hotels and restaurants may impose a 10% service charge, and a gratuity is not expected in excess of this. Bargaining is falling by the wayside shops, but tourists could still expect to haggle for luxury items and souvenirs. It is unnecessary to bargain for everyday goods or transport.
