oh no, then the online registration is basically useless.
because penang to kl is not near at all...

want to ask:
the cimb fastsaver acc registration procedure is like below:

1) register at cimb sg online website, fill up all details and upload documents needed (i done it)
2) get my SG cimb acc no (already get once fill and submit step#1)
3) link SG cimb acc no to MY cimbclicks. (i clicked link acc today, status show application in progress pending approval)
4) transfer money from cimbclicks malaysia to that linked SG bank acc SGD1,000 (must send the money from MY CIMB to SG CIMB? or can use instarem or my SG fren bank acc send SGD1000 money to SG CIMB?
5) then done?

No is not. You can register first then go down to KL and meet them face to face for KYC. Transferwise just got license to transfer RM but haven't set up shop.
Want cheap of course need to do some work la.
Take 3 days leave. 1 day for you to travel down, 1 day for you to open account. One day to come back to penang.
I went down to SG and open my own account. And SG to where I stay is further than penang to KL. You can take a ETS down to KL, ask the Instarem person to meet you at KL sentral then go back.

Read back few pages on how people do it. I can't help as I did it the old fashion way. Open account, transfer in SGD1000 from local SG bank.

ya, i did read back many pages back. they use isavvy transfer to cimb for open acc. they are not answering to below:
4) transfer money from cimbclicks malaysia to that linked SG bank acc SGD1,000 (must send the money from MY CIMB to SG CIMB? or can use instarem or my SG fren bank acc send SGD1000 money to SG CIMB?

funded my CIMB FASTSAVER account, was told by CIMB SG customer service subjected to their management decision and need wait 5-7 days

why me la aiyor, i saw others open get activation code less than 2 days.


good things about CIMB is no inward remittance charge, so I
- dont need charged S$10 whenever withdraw from IB
- dont need charged S$10 whenever fund SG bank account using instarem?

Maybank iSavvy has this S$10 inward remittance, quite painful for Malaysian tbh

Hi guys want to confirm, if we funds SG iSavvy account using INSTAREM, Maybank SG will charge S$10 inward remittance fee right?

If the money from local SG banks no, if money comes from Malaysia then yes. You just need to test and see. I suspect no but could be wrong.

I funded my iSavvy back in July 2018 with Instarem, it's a local transfer without inward remit fee

CIMB sg to RM rate is very good lo...3.06

Hi , can i know how you fund the first deposit? via cimb malaysia to cimb sg?

Just transfer from your CIMB MY $1000 to CIMB SG when you can see the account in your cimbclicks MY account and you are done. Maybe its not the best rate but its the only way except you have another sg account UNDER your NAME to do the local $1000 transfer.

You have to use your own another bank's SG account to transfer, or you need to use MY SG bank to convert and transfer, you cannot use other's account to transfer, that's what SG CIMB cs told me

iSavvy will charge you if you do not maintain SGD500 in your account. I just got to know the hard way.

Mostly all Sg acc have this fall below fee

No choice. Std Ctd must maintain min $1000

and also charge you S$10 if you withdraw from interactive broker, treated as inward remittance fee.

but i check CIMB FastSaver account kinda best

1) no inward remit fee
CIMB SG rates and charges

2) no fall below minimum fee
My Webpage

okay i understand now.
so i now want to transfer from my CIMB malaysia to CIMB SG new fastsaver acc for first deposit to activate it.

I facing an option below, which to choose for doing Foreign TT ?
*i dont mind paying the high service fee, i just want to know which to select...

Need to read the TnC first. Keeping SGD500 inside is nothing if it let you have SG bank account.

No choice. Now with IB I don't need to bother about having Std Ctd

Pick la savings ke investment.

sometimes i wonder why SG maybank and cimb e-banking interface like so left behind compared their banking interface in Malaysia haha

I wonder that too but CIMB SG has their digital token while MY most transactions still using TAC

Upgrading interface means need to fork out money. Who's going to pay for the look upgrade?
