I have maybank and scb. Can I asked referral letter from this 2 bank to let me open account?

Temasek !

And if they do a background check to find that I don't have that much money?

I an with UOB and they issued me reference letter to UOB Singapore and open account.

I need to find time and fly to Singapore.

Hi... can some Malaysian with no referral letter from any banks and an employment pass just walk in with a passport and ic and open a savings accounts with any Standard Chartered Singapore branch?

For me, I have POSB and OCBC (Singapore) saving accounts. Do I still need to open a Maybank Singapore saving account? So, is it cheaper to move fund between Maybank Malaysia saving account and Maybank Singapore saving account?

For now, I use Visa Direct to transfer fund from Maybank Malaysia saving account, to my POSB saving account. The fund is transferred via Visa network, into my a debit card linked with my POSB saving account. Then, via FAST, I can transfer fund between POSB and OCBC (Singapore) saving accounts, for free.

Yeah, this method may not be the cheapest method, so I am open to any suggestion from you all, on the cheapest and best way to move fund between Malaysia saving account and Singapore saving account.

Thank you for your advice.

maybank sg can accept you if you provide them maybank msia acc num. no problem. others seem to be closing their door.

I tried ask some posb bank but they refused to let me open acc there coz I don hav working permit or PR.

update us later okay.

Update us if u have any luck in opening one. Have u tried most banks in Sgp?

He already have SCB account in SG.

Anybody else have any luck with other banks?

hi kart, i just received an email from maybank SG regarding this TT so i will share with you on this.

send money from MY to SG = Maybank Msia charge RM10.60 (include GST) + Maybank SG charge SGD10 for inward remittance

send money from SG to MY = Maybank SG charge SGD 15 for online transfer. Instant transfer would be 0.125% commission (min $20, max $100) + processing fee $10 (of course cheaper with normal online transfer if no rush) [Only thing i have yet to know is much does MY Maybank charge for inward remittance from SG banks.

1) If you have a DBS Account, you can use a facility called DBS Remit, and remit to Msia without charges at all.

2) There is NO charge imposed by Maybank Msia for inward remittance from an Sgp Bank.

ideal situation would be having a DBS account then.

and thanks for the tip on MY bank inward remittance.

DBS needs min SGD3k or they start charging you.

I love yr profile photo, Shin,...

Bro Ramjade,... charging SGD5 per month ?

Don't know how much. But if you look at their page, one must have min of xxxx/month.
