Ramjade You mean email or postal mail? Anyway, now its through sms from what I see from various websites/youtubes

Thanks. Will do. I read CIMB only got 1 branch in Singapore and they are very busy. There was 1 person succeeded after 1 week. Yikes
Yours is very fast. Thanks for sharing  :thumbsup:

OCBC in deep shit again...

Update. Confirmed total charges deducted is USD20-170 for my case.
Ramjade, charges deducted for yours is slightly less than USD20 because from your 2 screenshots, the amount withdrawn is different from amount received (xx814.06 vs xx796.12). So around USD17+ difference there. Then add USD 7+ for TT as per your 2nd screenshot. So total deducted USD20+

Happy Deepavali to you. May you have a wonderful time  during this festive season

May I know the reasons people here transfer to SG bank account for ?

I know one of them is to transfer from SG CIMB to Interactive Brokers, but is it also to park in SG because MYR is devaluing ?

Can we earn FD while we park in SG CIMB ?

Transfer SGD1000:
-Wise : fee 26.14 total: 3511.04
-MAE total: 3486.75

With wise you get 3511.04 rgt compared with MAE 3486.75 for 1000 sgd. So it's cheaper with WISE as you get more rgt for the 1k sgd.

yes rate is shown before transfer. Zero fees. MYR to SGD, definitely better transfer using duitnow than Wise.

Scanning paynow QR with duitnow strangely doesn't work for now. Maybe it will work soon.

Try this ..

You did this ?

i already corrected my post. i got confused with DBS $1k fall below threshold.

i opened my DBS acct in 2009 when fall below was only $500, $500 still applicable to me due to grandfather clause. just closed this year bcos i think it's silly to lock up any funds, also partly bcos covid shows me that my money could technically be frozen as i won't be able to liquidate/close acct with the border closed (well i mean, i can always withdraw what i want, just pay S$2 monthly only)

Thank you for acknowledging, bro Ramjade,... :thumbsup:

Singpass is coming today. Just wanted to alert relevant bros here,.........

I think no need to talk abt the 'loaded ways'.

Bro,... I am trying to help my buddy open an OCBC acct.. Would you know this step - second image of front of IC,... what does it mean by : Scan bottom front card ???

We have placed our IC nicely INSIDE the box by tilting our phone. We are not able to capture the 'tilted' image of our IC. What's wrong, bro ?

Then the error msg comes out : Scanning the second front image failed.

nice. one question though, can close the account online?

how about malaysian investment accounts? my robo advisor is malaysian-based

welp, its quite a hassle and lot of screening, should i just inform them to cancel the account opening? my biggest fear is that they will refund me via cheque

If first year no fall below penalty then i'll keep my OCBC account, since got statement...

But my MBB iSavvy account is eating SGD$2 every month. Thinking to terminate it, but the zero fee transfer to/from MBB Malaysia is what's keeping me holding on to it.

Maybank FX rates are good? I remember it's CIMB SGD-> MYR that's worth trying.

It's important to note that zero fees does not mean the bank can't markup the FX rates and earn your money. Beware of this marketing gimmick/business tactic.

i wonder why don't people notice the Ar-Rihla Savings account instead which only needs SGD $200 minimum balance, the lowest requirement from Maybank SG

i noticed that most people sign up with iSavvy (minimum SGD $500)

many info available at lowyat first

Lol I just realised my original post was deleted. Mod deleted eh?

which post of yours was this, Ramjade?

i used to watch ziet videos and found some info are outdated.

and its very frustrating when i post at lowyat forum to ask for help, just to be ridiculed with  "just follow ziet", "dont be stupid", "dont stubborn", "i follow ziet last time no problem", "you the problematic one", "other people no problem only you"

and i really did suffer a serious depression about this the last time.

a Singaporean debit card is quite useful when you're in Singapore, although you can also use OCBC Cashless withdrawal if one has already opened an account.

so is moomoo still the best place to park idle funds at minimal risk via fullerton sgd cash fund?

TnG ewallet can hold SGD?

i see. have been neglecting my small sg idle money. i have moomoo, endowus, syfe and stashaway sg, so i wonder
