Why take so long?
(i) the branch you send don't have Singapore full address hence it get return and the staff (MY staff). (happened to me)
(ii) Did you send with TIN (tax number)? It's a new criteria from Maybank SG.
*
(i) not sure about this , but i read thru all the comments by others , some of them received the parcel slightly more than 1 month , in my case, there is CNY holiday in between , so i think it is reasonable to take that long
(ii) i didn't do this, cause no people ask me to do so? i didn't receive any phone call from SG sides also

and bro, how is ur current application status now?

They won't call you. The MY officer which handle you will email you asking you to submit the form.

Current application. Let me tell my story.
1. My application was submitted on Dec.
2. Check with Maybank SG by Jan (1 month later)
3. Told me they never received. Told me to check with Maybank MY.
4. Checked with Maybank MY (they didn't call me/email me anything). Apparently Pos Laju sort of "lost it"
5. It was never even sended according to Maybank MY as the details are not completed (Maaybank MY fault  bangwall.gif  ranting.gif )
6. Resend.
7. Within 1-2 week received by Maybank SG as they email my officer asking for FACTA form (income tax from by the US)
8. They got back to me. Told me they don't accept emailed copies. Told me to submit hard copies to Maybank MY
*
hmm , i not sure i need to submit that form or not as the occupation there i filled in fresh graduate. tomorrow i will make a call to maybank my branch and ask for my application status

Check back with Maybank MY (the branch you went to) after one week from contacting the officer.

If you have received the SMS, you should have successfully opened the iSavvy saving account. Congratulations.  rclxms.gif Otherwise, why would Maybank Singapore register your Malaysian handphone number to receive the SMS One-Time Password?

Around the week or so, you should start to receive Welcome Letter, Security Token, debit card and so on.
*
Sadly this doesn't belong to me, I have to wait another 14 working days because didn't sign the tax declaration form. Hopefully this time nth goes wrong 😅

Starting from 2017 onwards, the Singapore government requires all foreigners who are opening an account in Singapore to provide their TIN (tax identification numbers) and sign a tax declaration form.
