Ask u guys, if a buyer intends to purchase something from me and the mode of payment is via transfer of money to bank account, is it safe to give that buyer my account no.? I mean is there any risk involved?
One more qns is that online bank to bank transfer (eg. UOB to DBS) is it possible?
Thanks in advance! -

yes, is possible to use internet banking for transfer between different banks, but it will take around 3 working days. but if is between the same bank, is immediate. -

If u receive US$100, DBS also charge u S$20, that mean if small amount better use other method. -
