QUOTE(jake9110 @ Apr 25 2020, 07:52 PM) Hi guys, I just opened my cimb fastsaver account and about to fund the account. Looking through the comments in this forum, it's usually from cimb my to cimb sg. But did anyone tried funding using instarem and to fund minimum (eg. SGD 10) from own cimb account? Would it still recognize as our own fund transfer? Yes, it's considered. I did with SGD1.

If you are Malaysian, no Singapore residence and no private banking, Just go to Maybank Singapore branches physically and open a banking account over there as long as you don't launder money.

Last time can. Since 1mdb they have blocked us. The only way left is from Malaysia side. Many thanks to 1mdb. Spoil our name internationally.

They blanket rule it to make their life easier. Agreed. Let small fish through. Usually big fish easier cause banks want the money. QUOTE(powerlinkers @ May 2 2020, 07:55 AM) Not really, try again after COVID-19 outbreak is partially settled, in 2-3 months. I tried before this Covid stuff. About 5 years back. When 1mdb was exposed. I went to maybank sg HQ, all sg banks. They told me straight cannot open because I don't have working pass. Last time special exceptions for Malaysians. Since 1mdb the exceptions have been withdrawn. This post has been edited by Ramjade: May 2 2020, 08:29 AM
