If i am in Singapore physically for a few days..... r we allowed to open bank account n placed fd in SG banks? Just need IC & Passport will do?

i can testify to this. i opened my DBS account in parkway parade branch in 2009 with passport only

yeah i have some SGD in tiger brokers MMF. Already have cimb sg, thinking if i should open one more - just to standby in case cimb sg down or what.

Im using maybank. Do u recommend to open sg maybank, or better sg bank like ocbc (apply online)?

how do u transfer ur SGD to tiger brokers? from bank to tiger brokers via wise?

ohh, i dont have DBS. Should i create one maybank SG so i can DDA from maybank into tiger?

can for tiger brokers. these few banks. I only have cimb sg, cannot DDA. so thinking which one i should create. i oredi have maybank MY. wat u think

thanks, any reasons u dont like maybank sg that much? haha

3. My Maybank SG debit card kena hacked last May/June... Fraudsters transferred money out of it... Have to complaint to get back refund.

CIMB SG (no debit card), DBS and OCBC SG account + debit cards are working well, no sign of hacking attempts or frauds...

I use my bank cards very conservatively, only pay for food at hawker centers/uni canteents and public transports. No tie up with any ewallets, no Google Pay/Apple Pay etc. and I never let greed fail me by hunting for "cashbacks"...

Since then, I closed both my Maybank MY and Maybank SG accounts.

where to check the minimum balance?

The last bonus interest is in yesterday for those started in August 2023.

any simplified method to save-invest usd dollars in some low risk instrument?

but wun be 'holding' usd in cash when i sell right?

I guess the diff is all the misc fees we need to pay ofr the multi currency acc.... bank needs to make a profit all the time! However need advise from all sifu here..... if i open SG CIMB acc purely just for FD purposes is it worth it? can i use CIMB SG as my core base and transfer the amount to other banks FD in SG? or to have an FD in SG it is mandatory to open a savings account first b4 depositing the FD amount?

yes ive  been around that long enuff...... yeah its pathetic back then 1.xx % only..... but now its almost 3.4% but for 3 mths only.... worth it to open an sg acc just for FD purposes?

Last time fixed deposit rate normally at what rate? Like from year 2010 to 2019 precovid? All the while 1.2  to1.5%?

any recommendation for malaysians to easily open offshore bank account other than singapore without going through premier banking? diversify more.

i think our next target should be research to open US bank account.

I have this concern too. Actually we can do a separate will in Malaysia for SG asset?

Those with CIMB MY & SG, how did you perform the 1st transfer between these 2 accounts, now that remittance service not allowed?

Is it using the Foreign Transfer or some other feature (DuitNow possible?)

Using Foreign Transfer, saw the requirement to declare the purpose. What category you normally use?

Huh? What no money lah said was the first 1sgd you transfer from cimb my to cimb sg. Then the rest of 999 sgd can use wise transfer
