As far as I know, linkage only allows you to view your MY account balance from cimbclicks SG and vice versa. For actual transfers still have to login to the respective account country's cimbclicks |

Hi all,
I really need someone to help. Im planning to keep/save SGD.. but recently i open isavvy account from MBB. But officer just informed me, that application has been rejected, due to strict policies recently. Anyone know, if any bank offered the services. I mean, opening SG account without working in SG. Please advice |
