I havent open the account.

If you anyone can share me any branch that able to accept the application fast, pls share with me - either here or pm me.

Thanks.

true. that's pretty odd to have different T&C of application. well, now i'm no longer sure cause anything might happen between last year an now.

My location is Cheras South.

i've opened mine at MBB Bandar Utama. Perhaps you can try there?

Mine Shah Alam

Ok, thanks guys. Guess my only hope is to go to kl to open the account asap. This is indeed ridiculous.

Yup. Shall try there then.

Looks to me look Maybank is now capitalizing on this interest by depositors wanting to open the iSavvy Account in SG. They wanted depositors to put more money inside before they would process for us. I don't think it's an official prereq,... yet,...

I wouldn't be surprised though that Maybank would VERY SOON make it an official condition for ALL of their branches to adhere to.

Better move fast before the door is closed.

No it's not. For those in sabah, according to the list, one must be a priority customer. Normal branches won't do application. However, for people in peninsular malayaia, won't be a problem as according to the list, you don't need to be a priority customer.

Priority banking should be not a problem for most working malaysian. Easily put in 6 months promo FD with them. After 6 months, withdraw out the money and relinquish the priority status. Settle.

If priority banking in SG using RM might take a while for normal working malayaian...

Whatever the conditions today, soon they will be raised,... I saw it with my own eyes,... well, SG raised it first, now those wanting to go into SG directly to open is very hard already,... the door is almost shut totally,....

What do you think will happen later-on to the Maybank one ? Look at the trend, look at the outlook, bro,... you are an investor,.... move fast -> I go back to there words,....

No offence. May i know which particular list are you referring to? If it's the list of branches in the application form, I'm curious as to how you are able to deduce from the list that the branches available in sabah are only for priority customers when the two relevant ones are the 'karamunsing ssc' and the 'kota kinabalu branch'. In any event, you've just indirectly stated there's a separate 'policy/t&c' for sabah Maybank.

If meeting dbs treasure, citigold sg criteria, they will be more than happy to open multiple currency account. Certain private banks may send their rm to your office to collect forms personally.

The pic below showed all maybank branches which process application of Maybank isavvy in Sabah.

There are only 5 branches and all 5 branches have PWL written. PWL = Premier Wealth Lounges

Now if you compare with say Bandar Utama, you noticed that with Bandar Utama, you don't need to be a priority banking customer.


Is not a separate 'policy/t&c' for sabah Maybank. Is just that branches which do iSavvy application in Sabah all happens that need you to be a priority banking customer before hand.

List of branches which process iSavvy application can be found on the last few pages of iSavvy application form.

Such is the way of life where the rich are given more opportunities than normal people.

Bro,... well,... if you went in earlier,... then everybody is treated the same, right ?

From what I know, if you go through PWL/PWC area then no choice need to be priority customer.
For me, no money for priority so went though branch which accept normal people.

Appreciate your feedback bro. However, I'm not trying to create an argument here. Would just like to clarify the issue. I do appreciate your direction on the PWL categorization, cause i was not aware of it before.

Other than the 5 branches that you've stated under the PWL/PWC category, there are also two other 'normal' branches that are stated under isavvy application form, i.e "Karamunsing SSC" and "Kota Kinabalu Branch". These can be found under the "Maybank Malaysia Branches for opening of S$ iSaVvy Savings Account". The other 5 PWL branches are found under the "Maybank Malaysia Premier Wealth Centres / Lounges for opening of S$ iSaVvy Savings Account.

Source
The above list is actually from this page (ref: 'Open a Singapore iSAVvy Savings Account at over 110 convenient locations in Malaysia')

These two 'normal' branches have also been stated in the standard form that is used to apply for this iSaVvy account:
Form standard 1
Form Standard 2
Form Standard 3

One of these forms have also be quoted by one of the fellow members here. I know about the harshness of reality, but i still can't get my head around this 'unwritten justification' that only PWL customers are able to open this iSavvy account in sabah It's clear from the forms that the branches listed therein are just 'normal' branches and interested customers ought not be prevented from access to this particular product. I do agree with Hansel though, perhaps they're just trying to make it even more difficult and out of reach of the majority as time goes by.

Bro,... what I meant to say was... if you had gone in back 3 to 4 years ago,... or even 10 years ago,...you can go in directly to any branch in SG and open an account,..

I think if you noticed, they are PO box. Which means you drop the application into a post box. Is not exactly a branch. But no harm trying these 2 branches.

Sorry bro, i'd appreciate it if you could look closely at the address, and also not to try to 'cause some altercation' with someone who's a local as to the appropriate address. Just my two cents. And application by way of mail? Perhaps i could enquire on that.

KARAMUNSING SSC SABAH
Bangunan Maybank, No. 1, Lorong Kemajuan,
Karamunsing, 88000 Kota Kinabalu, P.O. Box
12599,88829 Kota Kinabalu

PWC Karamunsing SABAH
Level 1, Bangunan Maybank,No. 1, Lorong Kemajuan,
88000 Kota Kinabalu

KOTA KINABALU
BRANCH SABAH
9 Beach Street,88000 Kota Kinabalu,P.O. Box
10862,88809 Kota Kinabalu

PWL Jalan Pantai,Kota Kinabalu SABAH
9 Beach Street 88000 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Cause from what I can see, PO box is basically mail and there's nothing written PWC/PWL If walk in then no choice have to priority banking as it's written PWC/PWL. What you can do is call them up and ask how to apply via mail (tell them that I am not a priority customer, but your maybank isavvy application form mentioned PO box, so is the application by mail? How do I go about application by mail? How do I pay for postage to Singapore?)
