QUOTE(Hansel @ Sep 18 2015, 03:12 PM) 2 dollars a month is a good deal,... lol,.. Then I think it's worth it to put inside eSavers, and move the funds back and forth to earn the 1% if the amount is big enough. BUt is this program seasonal, ie can be withdrawn ? Haha,.. opening 2 eSavers Accts to move back and forth ?? That's funny,... big slip there for SC Sgp. Its seasonal , but every 3 months they release the new promo rates for the next 3 months. This has been going on for the past few years so i dont think it will stop anytime soon. Regardless, whether there is a promo or not i still need to keep that account to fund my trading, so it does not impact me that much. I treat it more as a bonus. Most of my money are locked up in FD as i plan to buy a house soon.

QUOTE(wjchay @ Sep 21 2015, 02:38 PM) Is it necessary to take the CAR exam for standard chartered account? What's the minimum requirement to pass? Yes its necessary, mandated by Singapore government. First question will ask whether you have done 6 trades in the past 2 years, just declare yes, they wont check.

QUOTE(Jeof @ Feb 2 2016, 06:10 PM) Hi guys i myself too is planning to open one in singapore. I was planning to open dbs account. I do not have -any permit whatsoever. Was wondering if the banks will deny us? Anyone managed to open one there? Can share your experience and what to expect and prepare? Read through the past few pages, there are several ways to get an account. May i know why DBS in particular? The interest rates are quite shitty, plus the atm is always full of people
