I don't think you can simply do that. You need to give them a reason.

As a premier member, you can... I just told my premier relationship manager, that I’m going for yearly training in Singapore. Yes yearly.

yes, you got a reason. That's why.

I'm also premier but when I wanted accounts in other countries, they said I need to give them a reason.

My point is you can give a simple reason for them. They didn’t check on your passport or whatsoever. Good luck.

Yeah. Tell them you are investing overseas. Is a valid reason.

To open online account the answer is Cimb fast saver.
Then use Cimb Malaysia to transfer SGD1k over.
Aftrr that use instsrem to transfer movie over.
All no need travel down to Singapore.

Tq so much

how about OCBC?

Depends on what account is it.
Google ocbc pricing guide pdf. You have the answer to your question.
Typically range range from sgd500-3000

I have both the CIMB SG and MY acc opened.

How to use this acct to transfer in the SGD1000 to activate acct?

Via foreign TT?

Ya

Ernmm .. trying foreign TT this morning
But was rejected .. ask to check bank acc.

Do I need to add in swift code or IBAN.

Swift code, bank address

Ok .. managed to transferred sg acc.
Wasted RM10 service charge for foreign tt.

No service charges once MY SG acc linked

🤦

RM10 is the least of your worry. You can check money changer website like spectrum forex and see how much Cimb is actually earning from you.

CIMB rate 3.065
Bigpay rate 3.03 .. first time is FOC

Now exploring investment acc in sg

Dear proud holders of Sg account(s), are we now obliged to declare this on efiling?

Any limit how much you can transfer with Bigpay in one transaction?

I will declare.
What did you declare?

You cannot use bigpay for first transfer.
