Can I make GIRO payments?
No. Currently, you will not be able to make GIRO payments or set up any standing debit instructions. However, you can still receive GIRO payments.

In the interim, if you have recurring payments, using FAST could be a better alternative as you only need to add your beneficiary account number once in the Sleek Business Account web app and thereafter it is easy to make future payments. Furthermore, local transfer fees are absorbed by Sleek. You may refer here to learn how to add beneficiaries and send money.

Which countries are temporarily unavailable for outgoing international payments?
Currently, the Sleek Business Account does not support outgoing transactions to China, India and Pakistan. (You are still able to receive funds from these countries.)
Why has my outgoing international payment been declined?
Your outgoing international payment may be declined due to the following reasons:
1. Incorrect Beneficiary Details
Please validate your beneficiary details before initiating the transfer again.

2. Insufficient Funds in your Sleek Business Account
An SGD 100 buffer is implemented to cover any additional charges charged by the intermediary banks. Hence, you will only be able to transfer the total balance in your Sleek Business Account less the SGD 100 for any international payments.

3. All outgoing international payments are made by Sleek Tech Pte. Ltd. on behalf of your company.
Due to certain countries'/beneficiaries' regulations, they might reject the transaction.

International transfers may be refunded for the following reasons.
If the transaction is from Sleek company to another bank,
1. Sort code is not correct.
2. Beneficiary bank is not stated correctly.
3. Account number is wrong.
4. Account Number format is incorrect.
5. Beneficiary bank and account number does not match.
6. You may have mistakenly sent money to prohibited/unsupported corridor.
7. Prohibited activities.

In the event your outgoing transaction is rejected/declined, the funds will be refunded back to your Sleek Business Account in SGD. It is possible that the amount differs from the initial funds that you sent out. This is may be due to fluctuating forex rates.
