I have used Transferwise when I was studying abroad and I have not encountered any issues. The money will reach your account earlier or on time as stated in the order page. Personally, I dislike the idea to carry a lot of money with me so I would prefer to use their service.

If you decided to use Transferwise to transfer SGD, you need to setup an account and go down to their office in Raffles Place to verify your identity.

Used it before and as MrConfused said - no issue there. Previous procedure was to head down to Raffles Place but they've now worked with MAS to implement electronic verification instead, so that's no longer required.

If you're interested, here's my referral link below. Nabs you a free/discounted transfer.

Yes, can. I've done it before. Transferred to my very good friend's bank account in his name from my bank account in Singapore, then took foreign cash from him when I arrived for my visit.

Hey bro.

Do you mind if u can provide me with your email and your membership ID? I signed up without the referral link and then saw your post. I had emailed them, and they requested for it. Hope you can help me out. Cheers.
