Only if you priority customer. Also need to see whether Singapore side require you to be priority member or not.

Over one hour on compliance, half hour trying to sell products, manager approval, etc. That's why many are not keen to open new account.

Unlike HSBC, need citigold in sg also.

sorry. I didn't read the whole thread. How do you open CIMB (SG) acc?

I've CIMB (MY) acc.

and after that, can I open an SG trading account?

M'sian and based in M'sia.

I found transfer wise is the worst lol. Comaring with Instarem and SingX, transfer 1000sgd to msia need 10sgd of processing fee. SingX only 6 dollar. Not sure about CIMB SG. Where can i see the rate from sgd to myr for CIMB SG ?

Is already cheap vs SG banks. And no one transfer only SGD100.
For those without access to Singx, M1 remittance, instsrem SG, transferwise is considered God send as the only 2 way to send money back to malaysia cheaply (transferwise and Cimb SG ). That's why I said if have access to other service use other service. If don't have, then one is stuck with the 2 of them.

Rates can be found after login.

For CIMB SG ? they claimed they have the best rates

More or less transferwise rates. Sometimes transferwise wins, sometimes Cimb. Still cheaper than using DBS/OCBC/UOB.

MAy i know which one do you use usually ? i have problem of signing up instarem... It need interview in Msia , but I am in SG now .

I don't transfer money back to malaysia. I only transfer money to Singapore.
Contact their customer service and tell them you want to open a SG account not Malaysia account. Secluded an appointment with SG Instarem. Account should be easily opened if you had all the documents.
Another alternative is head to their office straight at Hong Leong tower.

I'm trying to apply for CIMB fastsaver online but it says only Singaporeans and Singapore PRs are eligible.

How can I open a bank account without being in SG?

Maybank. Read thru the thread, all the info is there

For CDP account, has anyone managed to replace the OneKey Token (due to battery completely drained out) for free, during the last few months?

Apparently, there is a form for the replacement of OneKey Token, in CDP website. Token replacement fee of SGD 15.00 (inclusive of GST) is stated in the form.

Ramjade,

transfer money from Msia to Sg using Instarem ? ok ? signup via online ?

any advise ? reliable ?

Is my choice to transfer money. I never rushed any other service than instarem. Used to use moneymatch until realised moneymatch more expensive.

Way cheaper than banks, fast (same day if you transfer in the am), reliable. Amount displayed = amount received. Won't be single sen less. Highly recommend.

TQ Ramjade. will consider using Instarem.

Charges transfer frm msia to sg is how much

I am signing up for CIMB MY link with CIMB SG.
Dunno if rates will be better.

SG to MY linked, best rates.

Actually Malaysian still can open Fastsaver account at CIMB SG, because I just did it.


If transfer from CIMB MY to CIMB SG, the cost will be much higher compared to Instarem.

I see, I thought will be better also.. hmmm..
thanks btw..

Dont know. I compare with instarem and moneymatch. Whichever cheaper I use that. So far instarem always cheaper. Fees you need to see how much kena charged on the main . Buy can tell you definitely cheaper than banks. Maybe slightly more expensive than money changer by about RM20

MY-> SG via Cimb is is totally no no. Rates not good. Avoid.

Agreed.
