Did you manage to try again? Which branch did u go to?

Yup. I went to the wrong branch earlier, so the officers there said I couldn't open an account with them. So, I went to the "right" branch thereafter.

My branch is in SSC Butterworth, Penang.

At the end of the account application document, you will see a list of branches and wealth centers where you can submit the application form.



The application form can be downloaded here: https://www.maybank2u.com.sg/iwov-resources...n-Form-mbmy.pdf

I strongly suggest you to phone the branch the day before you go to ask for the documents and preparatory works to do so that you don't have to run back and forth between your house and the bank for any missing supporting documents. I am afraid different branches can have different guidelines.

Good luck.

Thanks for sharing. How long does it take to open the account? I mean from the date of submission to the time when you receive the notifications that your account has been opened?

No problem. According to the application document, it's 14 working days. But the branch officer in Penang mentioned about some potential delays due to the MCO and circuit breaker in Malaysia and Singapore.

So, may take longer than that. Just be patient.

so means can submit application liao ? ...coz i tried few weeks back and MBB bank officer said not accepting application until SG circuit breaker

Have you checked that you went to the right branch?

It is ONLY possible to submit the form and the supporting documents at branches and wealth management centers listed in the last few pages of the application form.

(Don't repeat my mistake. )

Also, SG in Phase 2 this Friday plus Malaysia in RMCO, maybe more relaxation by now. Can try to contact the (right) branch and ask again.

did they ask for courier fee?

For those don’t have any Singapore’s number and address how to fill up form as they ask for Singapore’s numbers?

And do they call malaysia number for verification?

Hi all, recently just opened a singapore CIMB fastsaver account and it took me less than a week to get it fully activated, so I decided to write a guide here for all the new people. It took me a total 4 days to fully activate the account.

Day 1
1. You must have a cimb malaysia account first.
2. Head to singapore cimb fastsaver page and fill up the registration form
3. After filling up the form, you will get an email and sms instantly. (you will get your fastsaver account number)
4. login to your cimbclick malaysia. Go setting and link your cimb malaysia to the cimb singapore. 

Day 2
1. Successfully linked my cimb malaysia to cimb singapore account
2. transfer 1sgd from the cimb malaysia to your fastsaver for KYC process
3. Ask my friend from singapore to transfer 1000sgd to my fastsaver account (Save money without using cimb forex rate because the spread is too high) (and my friend wanted to transfer sgd to myr, so we do it without crossing the border)
4. lazy to wait for the call from cimb singapore, so i head to their website and filled up the enquiry form asking general questions and what to do for next steps. (obviously im just fishing for them to call me asap)

day 3
1. cimb singapore called me for verification process. reason i say i want to invest in singapore.
2. they say ok, will pass the application to another department and i am subject to their approval.

day 4.
1. finally received email and sms for my account activation.
2. you will get a code to sign up for cimb click singapore
3. go sign up for singapore cimblcick and done.

The process is very smooth. And it only takes 4 days from application. They dont even ask for my net worth etc. I am unemployed lol.

correction: you don't need to have malaysia account first. you can get both on same time / after you online applied CIMB SG. but yes, must have CIMB malaysia account no matter what

I don't know you can open BOTH CIMB MY and SG account at the same time. Is that possible?

Slightly off-topic: Is there any advantage of having CIMB MY account? You sound very supportive of CIMB MY.

Is the Maybank iSavvy account any better?

any fees or minimum balance to maintain etc?

I think I misunderstand something here.

According to solstics818, there is no need for any CIMB MY account at all in order to open CIMB SG account.

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry97074640

So, that means, without CIMB MY account, even without residing in SG, one an still open a CIMB SG account. Whether one opens a CIMB MY account later is completely irrelevant to the opening of CIMB SG account. Are we on the same page?

This sentence: "but yes, must have CIMB malaysia account no matter what " makes me think you are very supportive... 

Kind of makes me think it's the best bank in Malaysia.
