this thread is mainly for those with non-preferred status btw

Anybody tried applying Maybank Isavvy?

Was told that employment pass is needed for account opening

Investment purpose is no longer allowed to open

malaysia branch?

Yes malaysia branch

Anybody successfully bypass this requirement?

almost all if not all of us who open via maybank my didn't need that. which branch did u go to?

They asked for purpose of opening account

What reasons did you guys give?

investment, like what most of us did

Why did the Maybank staff told me it is not allowed lol

May I know when you guys opened the account? This year?

Not all of us have priority banking. I know I don't have and will never open one in the future even if I could.

Just tell them investment or put SG FD.

Keep in mind some done maybank only deal with priority banking. Not all maybank can do it. To know which maybank, look at the list behind. If that maybank cannot, try another maybank.

Sure, but I highly doubt that a non-priority customer will be entertained. I mean OCBC not even help their priority clients if they are not super priority and willing to throw a lot of money in the garbage bin by accepting a terrible exchange rate.

At CIMB they need to post documents to Singapore (yes, POST, no electronic mail), make phonecalls to the Singapore branch and so on. If you not have a RM that is willing to do this, you surely have to go to Singapore. Or did you manage to make someone outside the priority center in Maybank do it for you?

By the way, because of the long snail mail process I decide to show up personally in Singapore also, anyway was in mood for a 2 day food trip without the family

food trip in singapore, seriously?

I have a very deep love for two Laksa places in Singapore for more than 15 years.

Totally Off-Topic: I love all the Laksas from North to South, East Coast and Sarawak, but Katong Laksa is my alltime favourite. If you know a place in KL that matches our Singapore friends, feel free to PN me

this thread is mainly for those with non-preferred status btw, particularly for Maybank iSavvy and CIMB Fastsavers. not sure if things has changed now though.

Try another branch, bro,... update us here if other branches allow OR,.... rules have changed,....

Do it quickly,...

hi i followed the steps after registering and getting their email and sms.

Note: For applicants with CIMB Malaysia accounts, you may link your new CIMB FastSaver Account to Malaysia CIMB Clicks Internet Banking. Thereafter, perform a transfer from your own CIMB Malaysia Account to activate the CIMB FastSaver Account. For more information, please visit: https://cimbbank.com.sg/my2sg

the link given above doesnt work

anyway i tried to link using this guide https://www.cimbbank.com.my/en/personal/ban...via-clicks.html but hit a dead end



clicking on link account



cant find the "Link Account > Singapore Accounts"

any pros here mind to help? thank you

Quite interesting. I’m trying to open up a new Maybank Premier Wealth account in Malaysia LOL. So far, the RM has gotten all my details via email - once the MCO is fully lifted on both sides, I probably have to make a trip up to JB.

Good luck to all of us

Kindly read the faq at bank page. Is all there. In fact you have already answered your own question. There's no fall below fees. No minimum balance. But don't la keep sgd0 inside. Keep at least SGD1.00

My iSavvy accounts with Maybank Sg requires min $10

When was your application? you need to wait for the sg account to be open, and activated. This process can be slower due to massive covid circuit breaker (MCCB) there

After completing my application I immediately linked my MY account. Didn't have to wait. I applied last week. It seems in his screenshot he doesn't even have the link SG account option which should below the PRS option.
