True. They dont bother coz we are spending in their country. I seldom bring this much

wah SGD have 1k note

meanwhile BolehLand stop years ago

They used to have 10k sgd note. The highest value note in the whole world at that time. But they discontinued it last year.

wah that's seriously too big amount

1k note okay lor

do they have $5000 note?

U managed to open with which Bank?

nope. now the highest is $1000 note only

Standard Chartered

Sometimes, photocopy of our Malaysia Identification Card is needed for banking purposes in Singapore.

For that, is it okay to cross out the photocopy, and write "Not for Loan", and "Only for XXX Bank - To Open Saving Account" on the photocopy?

Hi guys i myself too is planning to open one in singapore. I was planning to open dbs account. I do not have -any permit whatsoever. Was wondering if the banks will deny us?

Anyone managed to open one there? Can share your experience and what to expect and prepare?

why not if you have $$$$? many indonesians open bank accounts in singapore too. be prepared to go to another bank/branch if the staff make things difficult for you. remember to bring proof of address.

Read through the past few pages, there are several ways to get an account. May i know why DBS in particular? The interest rates are quite shitty, plus the atm is always full of people

Can i use malaysia as proof of address or it must be in singapore? If its malaysia perhaps i can bring my phone bill along as well


Yep read from first page on wards. Had some idea. My main motive is to TT money from Malaysia to my bank account in Singapore and vice versa. One of the main reason because i travel to SG quite often. Quite unsafe to bring loads of cash around. So having a local bank there and swipe with card will be a better idea.

How much should i prepare in cash?

Should i go honest with them for weakening of ringgit/travel often here or use "opening trading account or unit trust" ? Which will be the most ideal option. Also i read a few pages back that it is better to open 2 accounts in SG? why so?

i found this citibank global all in one account opening.....

https://www.ipb.citibank.com.sg/english/for...=PAEADIPDBAENC1

citibank good? i thought a lot ppl feedback say no good

yup, its safer & better to cross out the document so that the bank can't use your documents for other purposes like applying for credit card, take a personal loan etc.
Be safe then sorry.

Opening IPB with citibank minimum requirement is 50k USD and that amount cannot be moved for 3 months. Hence I'm trying to see if they are any alternatives. Hope anyone with knowledge are able to help out

I have no idea, i just randomly search and saw this interesting so i posted here for sharing purposes as i hv no intention to hold foreign acct at the time being maybe in the future i will consider......

I also want to open a bank account in SG with the lowest min balance with no annual fees.

Any suggestion?

reading from a few pages back i heard, opening with the reason of "trading account" is doable not sure though. Hope any sifus here can verify
