dbs debit card send to msia using which courier ? normal mail or pos laju ?

I went called both Malaysian and CIMB hotline to try to open SG bank acc and they told me only able to open a bank acc if I go to SG physically.

Is there other way where I can do it online?

What's the difference in fees / forex between CIMB and Maybank?

From what I gather in this thread, Maybank iSavvy can easily open online from My,
Whereas CIMB might be a bit tricky requiring proof of residence / work permit?

Is there a minimum deposit balance for cimb fast saver?

doing my online filing and noticed new option on declaration of foreign account.
So anyone with such ac have to declare now.....country probably will need extra income now to fund all the debts etc....

Wanna check with you all.
What's the difference between bring back SGD to Malaysia via Maybank SG or CIMB SG?
Say I'm planning to bring back 10,000 SGD?
I understand CIMB is better. In what sense? The fees or exchange rates?

Can a foreigner working in MY open a CIMB Sg account? Has a CIMB MY account already.

What is the minimum balance in cimb sg ?

it took me 5 working days to get it activated and ready to use

Monday
1. apply online.
2. receive SMS from CIMB SG. SMS contains password to access the PDF attached in email.
3. receive email from CIMB SG. PDF contains details and instruction of account opening. You can see your account number as well, but it is not activated.
4. Gg to CIMBclicks MY, request to link CIMB SG acc.
5. TT some money to CIMB SG acc.

Tuesday
6. link approved. can actually view the balance of ur CIMB SG acc in ur CIMBclicks MY at this point.
7. bank called. provide document proof. in my case, TT slip as well as the screenshot of my bank acc from which i TT-ed.

Wednesday
8. bank emailed asking to do transfer from CIMB MY. It can be any amount. paid RM3.09 for 1SGD transfer. (I totally forgot about this part, hence extra 1 waiting day)

Thursday
9. bank email, informing that they have sent application for processing. still waiting..

note: emails/calls/replies from CIMB SG came around 6pm based on my experience.

ok so i leave around 50 inside. . and do transfer everymonth.. since i deposit more than rm1k before when i just open 1 week ago, now i take out should be ntg rite? haha

Now I am thinking of closing my account. The cost is just not justified for small-cap investors like me. The charges and transaction costs can easily offset the interest earned from putting money in the bank. Might as well forgo the charges/transaction costs and let IBKR earned interest from my "small" leftover money.

Previously, I was thinking that for online transfers no transaction costs, the interest earned is greater than leaving the money idle in IBKR. Now, one single transfer can take up circa 40-50 SGD. If I buy 2-3 lots of stocks, around 400-700 SGD (assume share price of 2-3 SGD/share. That's already 7-10% of cost for me. Too great to bear.

I guess will wait for 6 months, then close the account. Haven't done detailed cost-benefit analysis. Hope to learn more from gurus here.

You guys must have large capitals!

So, you recommend opening CIMB SG account? 1k SGD is still okay, but already the maximum I can fork out. (That's already 3k MYR, a month's salary for a fresh grad in M'sia.)
Lesson learnt:

1. Don't be too greedy. A few cents of interest can be forgone.
2. Look before you leap. Always do homework first! Check bank rates and charges before you apply for an account.

yeah they whack you outbound...

will they ask reason to open bank acc and request doc like payslip?

do not need any doc to prove? because in Malaysia they ask for offer or confirmation letter before open your account

HK got lots of good stocks.
Suggest you to keep until you have SGD4k then invest.

Stuff like Shenzhen international, yuexiu transport, CK infrastructure, hysan dev are good stuff.
HK stocks are way better than sg anytime.

I just submitted my application and got my CIMB FastSaver account. Does it mean it is open already? I have yet to fund the SGD1000 yet though.
Also, how do i get access to cimb clicks SG ya? have to wait for them to send over the details?

Got item 1, 2 and 3 done.
So I should TT money from Malaysia to CIMB SG before i would get the account activation notification?

Hi, i got this email today and already deposited the SGD1k. How will i know if there is any incomplete document? When i got the call last week, nothing was mentioned.

Just today
