Oh..Bro is referring to DBVS HQ..downtown MRT nearest.

Its not about being generous or not. Its regarding the anti money laundering and tax evasion treaty that is to be signed by many countries.

AU, thailand got no problem opening account as tourist.

Really?! I should have opened accounts there during the last visits. Suddenly feel like dumb Accountholic~

Off topic a little but how did you go about opening acc in AU as a tourist? I tried Commonwealth and ANZ but was turned away.

Not me. Some blogger. Make appointment before going AU. Make sure your application is less than 14 days of arrival.

Wish to open a banking acct with dbs and trading acct with them too. I would like to clarify if no mailing address in SG and no working permit would able to do so as Malaysian? I understand some may get to open it but seems not easy to be done.

Yes doable. Need to present yourself there. MBFC. Prepare SGD3k cash to open account. Take DBS V queue no first. Later they will redirect you to opening bank account by asking you to take opening account no (you can take both no one shot to save time). This one depends on them whether they want to let you open or not. If they reject you, you can say goodbye to DBS vickers account already.
Not sure if pintu to open with DBS close already or not.

Take note: SGD3k must be maintain with the bank at all times or else kena charge SGD5/month.

Thanks for your clarify, but what is MBFC?

Marina bay financial centre.

Oh ic thanks ....

Why want to open Australia bank account? Singapore is much nearer and good enough.

Because no harm having additional bank account in other part of the world.

There is no harm for sure but it would be Immaterial to one's financial well being. The money involved will be inconsequential.

If you are going to invest quite a bit in that country/if you visit that country regularly, it's a good idea to have a local bank account. A bank account + trading account is the way to go vs just a trading account. Well that's just my opinion.

It would be nice to have this btw Spore n Mysia

That exist. But Sngapore to Malaysia only. There's no Malaysia > SIngapore.

WestPac can. i opened mine during my visit.

if I own a company in singapore, possible to open an account?

how long it takes to open? Can I just walk in to the bank?

Thanks.

Yes. Company is easy. Walk into any bank you like. SG is one of the easiest place to do business in the world.
