walkman660

Last year after graduate I started my first job, i received my TIN number from LHDN within 2 months time

But i think when you apply , the form actually had a field for you to write why you cant provide TIN number right? (at least is the form I filled, same for cimb, which make me hesitant in providing my TIN since I no need to file tax for 2016 TYA )

ohh , i duno about the form as i go to the office and meet the staff , she just told me fill this and sign here , LOL

then next day she call me again, and double confirm with me .

the CIMB fast saver how u apply it? i tot need transfer from another SG bank (with your name) for the $1000 initial deposit

I have some questions about online application of Maybank Kim Eng Trade Prefunded Account.
For online application (https://eforms.maybank-ke.com.sg/page-1.html), I shall select 'Stocks',

It will lead to this page https://eforms.maybank-ke.com.sg/page-2.html. Judging from your response, it is not really a full fledged online application form, whereby we can just fill up our particular details, and then upload the necessary documents to the website. For that, we still need to manually fill out application form and send the forms to them via post, right? It is a bit of hassle.   
Refer to this website (http://www.maybank-ke.com.sg/open-an-accou...listing/stocks/).
I have a CDP account, so I should not need to have my supporting documents certified by Commissioners for Oaths.  At most, I will send my CDP statement to Maybank Kim Eng by post.

With suddenly so many people asking to apply isavvy account from Maybank MY.. i think they will close this channel soon.

Not worth it from Maybank's MY risk perspective, and no gain too. 

Or rather BNM may step in as part of capital outflow control measures.

I tried to call Puchong Branch.
The person told that ONLY maybank customer that have private banking asset >= Rm250k only able to open the isavvy account.


AIYH is that true?

Ramjade, can share which branch you go?
Else, I will go menara maybank (a bit far for me)

Just filled and submitted the isavy application form to the branch.

How long to get it processed and approved?

So long but not guaranteed to get it approved right?

Tell them you read LYN and it is an "in thing" to open a Singapore account. Just in case something happened, you are not left behind. Better be safe than sorry. You can hint to them the "kiasuism" since it is a Singapore account too.

For online application of Maybank Kim Eng Trade Prefunded Account (https://eforms.maybank-ke.com.sg/page-3.html):

What option should I choose for the following?

Type of Account for Stock Trading

b. Prefunded, or;

c. Cash and Prefunded

^
Based on your explanation, do you mean that:

a. Choose 'Cash': KE Trade Account will be opened. Higher brokerage fee will be incurred.

b. Choose 'Prefunded': KE Trade Prefunded Account will be opened. Lower brokerage fee (0.18% / min SGD 10) will be incurred.

c. Choose 'Cash and Prefunded': Two trading accounts will be opened, namely KE Trade Account and KE Trade Prefunded Account.

Am I correct? 

Aren't we agree to open KE Trade Prefunded Account, to enjoy lower brokerage fee? Not having the ownership of the shares under our name (not linked to CDP) is not much of a concern, as explained by gark.

The reply may sound sarcastic, but isn't that the truth ?

If the reason is for banking and investment, which is the bank's business, the bank has no reason to reject the application. Just tell them the real reason with no fear.

The fact that she (and many here) doesn't know the reasons, it shows that they don't even know why they want a Singapore bank account. The real reason is "just in case I cannot open one in the future". Same as the 2hour long queue we see in front of a newly opened "in thing" shop. Scared to be left behind

How long you got everything done?

Are you able to open USD account through online besides SGD?

CIMB Malaysia or Singapore?

I have the recommendation from UOB Malaysia to open USD account with UOB Singapore but I lazy to go over.

If there is shortcut way to get it without the need to go over, it would be great.

hey, when i TT from alliance bank to maybank sg, TT amount S$ 560, somehow maybank sg only received SGD 540, then minus SGD 10 at maybank sg side, left sgd 530

May I know the extra sgd 20 is charged by alliance bank or maybank sg or any other charges that i dont know?

because when I tt from alliance bank, i convert to sgd with their rate then deduct the equivalent MYR

then maybank sg side deduct sgd 10 as per their inward remittance fee

so i dont know where could the sgd 20 go in this case? (what 3rd party could it be)?

as for cimb, i do not have cimb fast saver activated yet, thats why i tt the remaining sgd 500 to maybank first then only activate the account via fast to cimb

one time TT only, moving forward will transfer between cimb my and sg

you mean if you TT via money changer, they will also have this kind of charges?

first time TT, initially plan to transfer just enough amount for 2 years fall below fee, manau tahu after these funny funny charges, left one year to deduct only

You mean using CIMB Malaysia to Maybank SG?
