Weird. I just got my sister to remit 150 sgd to my cimb sg bank from her hscb bank yesterday and I haven't banked in the 1k sgd yet

10 sgd from Ekyc and that 150 sgd was for my dad's birthday ang pow.

How did I get my account activated?

I'll still hv to transfer money but since it's activated I would use money match then instead of the compulsory cimb my to cimb sg.

BTW guys wise is not cheap any longer. Money match is cheaper by 25 myr?

Lately I saw money match rate seems to be cheaper than wise rate. If I don’t have any cimb sg or mbb sg account. Can I actually use money match to remit money into wise account’s sg balance?

Ramjade rhb mca won't fix his issue which is ibkr

hi guys just curious for those who have SG bank account

is it possible for us to receive USD payments? i have CIMB SG, wonder if it can be done or not?

else is there any alternative to receive USD in SG for malaysians?

Curious, which SG bank account you currently have there?

I mean specifically, for example DBS Multiplier etc. Currently looking for high yield accounts there.

Anyone here with Maybank SG account who didnt activate the debit card?

Any issue with that?

I'm getting 2nd SMS reminder to activate it.

Thought of not activating it at all since not using the card and to avoid fraud like TOS experienced.

Can anyone with CIMB SG and MY account help me with this?

Can you withdraw SGD from CIMB SG account using CIMB MY debit card? My accounts are already linked and can see online.

I am going to SG tomorrow. 😅

Thanks bro!
Aiya...i don't want to open account lah bro. Tomorrow go already. Lol.

But yes, i actually thought just that, transfer from my CIMB SG to Wise SGD. Just now tested transfer SGD50 to see. It is pending review (i have submitted my internet bill) and the timeframe shows it should be done by 5pm if all goes well. Withdraw SGD using WISE from ATM got how much charges in Singapore? In Japan it was 100 yen for 2000 yen or something like that.

Ramjade not worth it. S$5

i linked wise virtual card to google pay. no surcharge when paying SGD in singapore. just that SMRT you'll have 60 cents daily surcharge as the Wise card is M'sia registered

only issue is is S$289 in paper money (wise withdrawal) sufficient for a sg trip

paper SGD i change in midvalley anyway. since it's still cheaper than moneymatch

Same goes with Stand Chart also. But I cancelled mine this year already after 3 yrs 🥹

Because of the Stand Chart priority status, they’ll assist you to open SG/HK account

Things changed? I opened mine on 2021.

To be frank, their priority service is getting shittier day by day. Make 0 different when i opt out 🥹

Still looking into DBS

Have an interesting question.

Are non residents able to buy life insurance policies in Singapore?

For example, Malaysians working in Malaysia.

Singaporean policies offer more protection per equivalent unit of premium paid

Btw, I was digging some earlier post at this discussion, and found that we can open OCBC singapore too.

After opening OCBC Statement Savings Account, then we can use that as reference account to open DBS bank right? Saw from this post also https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...ost&p=109764512

Malaysian can open OCBC SG, CIMB SG and Maybank SG only (without visiting SG). As for DBS, prior to 1MDB and before 2015, it's possible to open a DBS account easily via DBS Vickers in DBS's head office at Marina Bay Financial Center in SG. Post-2015, not aware of anyone who manage to open DBS account successfully without depositing huge sum of money with their private banking side...

So just stick to OCBC SG for now, that's reasonable good for general banking purposes in SGD. You can also proceed to open a CDP account thereafter, which will allow you to purchase SG Treasury bills, bonds and saving bonds.

Yea Ramjade is right haha, I got a student pass right now to study in SG, though in the coming months i may just stay in Penang to date with my high school classmate and connect to NTU servers via VPN  

Earn SGD, spend MYR...

Was your account with DBS?

seems like maybank sg not very email friendly. refuse to entertain banking matters via email. calling them would be expensive. so i asked them to call me, wonder if they will.

is it?
i guess so.
cimb sg called me when i asked stg via secure mail. unfortunately maybank sg doesn't have it, their email respond was to ask me to call the hotline.
