alright cool. thanks

for CIMB and Maybank, do they have dormant period? ie: inactivity in your account for x months will be classify as dormant

Typically 1 year for bank accounts - but if you're worried then you can do a transfer every month. That way you won't forget your username/password and the account(s) don't go dormant.

About opening CIMB FastSaver account, after transfer the initial deposit SGD1000, how long it take for your guys to receive the 6 digit First Time Login code?

2 days for me as they requested missing documents from me, in normal circumstance i believe its 1 day

can i confirm what is the swift code for maybank and cimb singapore respectively?

Just email to their customer service, they will respond very fast. I send email to CIMB SG, evening they already answer me as below. Not like here customer service took few days to weeks to respond.

Will can try ask Maybank SG

thx. found this for maybank

https://info.maybank2u.com.sg/about-us/loca...orporation.aspx

should be under global right?

Can I open CIMB Fast Saver if I am not PR/Working there? Can it be done online too? or Need to visit the branch? Thanks

Have you read this thread?

No, that's why I ask for spoon feed.

Nice at least you are direct. You can search using the cimb key word and you can find most of the answers there.

Yes bro,... you can. Just follow the steps in the CIMB SG website. If you have a CIMB Msia account, you can use this acct to transfer in the SGD1000 to activate your acct...

After you bank-in the SGD1k, you need to wait one day for the acct to be activated.

Sometimes, CIMB SG may ask you to send them again some identification documents because they may have 'lost ' the earlier documents you emailed to them. Just follow their requests.

No issue, bro,...

i like the direct way you answered this. Thumb up

Thanks alot bro. Appreciate your feedback. Will give a try later.

How long for Transferwise transfer money from SG to MYR?

First time use Transferwise, send money at Tuesday 17th 4PM until today 19th still haven't receive it.

Bro,...

By the way, guys, do you all fill up the forms emailed by Singapore banks and then scan and email them back for tax purposes? Macam tedious

Hi bro,...

For myself, I will just fill-up one standard W8-BEN Form, scan it into my notebook, and store it nicely among my Documents. Whichever FI that asks for this, I will just email them if I am allowed it. But if they wanted originally signed copies, I will print out and send to them.

Since I am Tax Resident of Malaysia and this WILL NOT change, my form will not be dynamic, so,... no issue.

For multi-country residents, they have to be more careful in case the tax authorities of their second or third countries started querying and asking for Tax Residency Statuses.

This is especially so for those who have properties in second and third countries.

I just found out direct transfer from CIMB SG to CIMB MY is much cheaper than using Transferwise and is on the spot while I still waiting the transferwise for 3 days still havn't see my money bank in.

After linking FastSaver acc to my MY account get approved, Malaysian CIMB transfer rate is like this

SGD 330.70 >> MYR1009.30 (Rate 3.052 + Free of charge + On the spot)

While Transferwise is

SGD330.70 >> MYR999.97 (Rate 3.05549 + SGD3.43 Fees)

Direct transfer between CIMB much cheaper, RM10 gone!
