QUOTE(frostfrench @ Jan 20 2020, 08:52 AM) Thank you everyone for the inputs. Appreciate all of them. My main purpose to ask whether to open a CIMB SG bank account is for me to transfer my money from CIMB MY. I am planning to transfer RM 1million in batches. I am looking for the best sales charges and best exchange rates. wow.. RM1million.... u better "ask" BNM first before doing so.

These "International Schools" are just big business, there owners are super rich for a good reason. And the million long time gone before going to University. In Malaysia!

QUOTE(MilesAndMore @ Jun 1 2010, 06:25 PM) Even if you have a UOB Singapore ATM card, you will still be charged for each cash withdrawal at any UOB Malaysia ATM. I am however not too sure what are the charges like though. As for OCBC, if you have a OCBC/OCBC Al-Amin Malaysia ATM card, you will be charged RM2 each time you withdraw money at any OCBC Singapore/OCBC-NISP Indonesia ATM. Same goes to OCBC Singapore ATM/VISA debit cardholders. When they withdraw money at any OCBC/OCBC Al-Amin Malaysia ATM, they will be charged SGD2/withdrawal. I am a UOB singapore atm card holder, yes they do charge a little if u apply in malaysia UOB atm for withdrawal up to 15SGD per transaction.

No minimum before subjected to fall below fees, however min average $1,000 to be eligible for interest. I've had few dollars lying around before
