Singapore - Banking overview

Singapore has a well established banking system with three major local banks offering a full service of consumer banking including ATMs, telephone banking and internet banking.  Since 1999, the Singapore government has allowed six major international banks to enter the local banking market. They can provide the same services as local banks, but until recently have only been allowed to have a few branches and 15 ATMs.
All foreign issued credit cards can be used in Singapore.
