QUOTE(GSCboy @ May 12 2021, 11:05 PM) hahaha man. i think i know what u are trying to do as I am doing the same thing. I called cimb and communicate with xfers, only solution is to switch bank. and yes, i think u can if u get dbs, try with a small amount first, the issue with cimb is that the local transfer 10 digit number. because the 17 digit number is a virtual account number under cimb for xfers. I called CIMB and they said can't xfer to cimb.. asked me to use other bank. I shooted them what for if use other bank and CIMB offers to xfer the virtual bank account and can't be paid from?

QUOTE(ryan18 @ Oct 20 2021, 09:37 PM) https://www.cimb.com.sg/en/personal/promoti...sfer-promo.htmlCIMB SG having promo now saying they have the best exchange rate Why compare rates at money changers and online remittance services when CIMB Bank guarantees you the best exchange rate for your online funds transfers from Singapore to Malaysia? On top of that, we ensure transfers are INSTANT, SAFE, have zero service charges and all ONLINE! Find something better? We'll credit you the difference! yes, it is really good rate. Anyone wants SGD? I have many.

I guess most probably he received funds from someone that kena scammed and that person went to make police report.
This happened to my friend in which his account was closed. Then my turn pula...
All were nothing related to crypto. Only sell goods and received funds.

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Nov 22 2021, 01:47 AM) Don't bother. They only have one branch in Singapore and atm machine is located there at that branch only. So if you want to withdraw money, you need to travel to that branch. Better suggestion, just use bigpay to withdraw SGD if you really want to withdraw SGD to spend. Wow, just one branch and got Singaporean wanna opt it? I think slowly will be closing off

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Nov 22 2021, 10:27 AM) It have always been 1 branch since all this while. Nothing change. Nothing to worry about. Just sg govt way of doing business. If you are essential bank, you get more branches. If you are not essential, you get only one branch. You still have not reply about the deal you made with uob. Still waiting to hear about your uob deal. Not only UOB. I have now with HSBC as well, because CCB bkosed my account. So I TL and I emailed all banks that I wanna be their premier banking client.

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Dec 8 2021, 08:01 PM) This is true. Only one branch Actually they close account only if you did something wrong or cannot provide documentation of where money come from Not really. My friend received money from her freelancer programming job and the bank warned her can't use personal account to receive business job. harlo this is not business. Just one transaction rec'd and they queried it after two months and the purpose of incoming one func.

QUOTE(Hansel @ Dec 20 2021, 10:14 PM) I think you are wrong in that figure above,... yuo couldn't possibly save that amt,... but I'm not going to spend my time counting and verifying that figure-lar,... And even if you are right in that you could save RM400, so all those hardships you have to go through is worth RM400 ? How abt ur passport fee paid to the gov't ? If you are to count beans,... then renewing ur passport also must be included,.... And how many times were you able to travel using that passport for RM30k accumulated to go to SG ? How long would you take to accumulate RM30k in order to chg at KL money-changer to handcarry to SG ? 1 month ? 2 months ? You're talking nuts,... And then : RM400 is just 1.3% of RM30k. You'll be able to make back that amt with just one qtr of dividend payout if you bought the right shares back then. Wouldn't it be more worthy this way ? You're really talking nuts,.... Too calculative also is sipek mahuan and troublesome one. Better don't be so calculative and you earn people and people also wanna you.

Some users complaint money disappear from CIMB SG and CIMB MY and "nowhere to be found". All their manpower are assigned to detect all transactions made and check if you did do hanky-panky transactions and then close your account. That why their system is always down.

QUOTE(sgh @ Dec 29 2021, 05:53 PM) Your CIMB acct with them kena closed before har? You not alone I read news some ppl doing crypto trading also acct kena closed down. Not sure about Msia banks but Spore banks very on the ball partly due to strict Spore MAS ruling or they simply too efficient. No wonder foreigner companies first time come Southeast Asia choose Spore as HQ. If that company more used to coffee monies style will not choose Spore. Not for crypto trading la. Just used to buy stuff from Singaporean and also received part time free lancer income for drawings CAD & CAM and kena also when converting back to CIMB MY.
