hi, i have a question.

i have opened CIMB Fastsaver and transfer SGD 1K to the account in SG.
but i received a call from them acknowledged receiving the transfer but also mentioned i compulsory to have a CIMB account in malaysia else they will close my SGD account within 30 days

Is this true ?

If you read the previous discussions on opening cimb fastsaver you will notice 2 criteria to open the sg account.
1. open Msia account to link to sg account
2. transfer SGD 1k to the SG account.

those who have maybank isavvy, are u all able to register for e-statement? like proper statement header with address and name etc. mine says no debit card facility or so and therefore can't

Do you have a debit card? I have a debit card that was sent to me when I opened isavvy. You can use that debit card to activate your "debit card facility", I think.

hmm let me see. dun see anywhere to activate it.

Oh, I am getting this message when I click on "View Statement".



Looks like my statement is not available too. For my case, it should be the online statement facility since I already rest my password once using my Maybank debit card, which the SG customer service rep. have used to reset the account.

guess there's no proper statement till then.

Suggest you to email them to ask for this. I couldn't find any way to access the eStatament.

Click on the eStatament registration page leads me back to the same page that displays the above, i.e. either no card or didn't register for online statement facility. Sounds funny. Maybe a bug.

well technically i never activated my debit card before. maybe that's why.

I already activated it, but still can't access it either. So it may be a bug, no harm dropping the CS rep a line. They are quite efficient, will reply you within 1-3 days, not like our government servants...

So, you called Maybank Singapore Customer Service, to reset the password of your Maybank Singapore Internet Banking Account, right?

Did you manage to activate your Maybank Platinum Debit Card, by calling Maybank Singapore Customer Service?

When they reset my password they activated the card as well. That's what they told me.

Just got my cimb sg account opened and approved. But i am really shocked at how primitive the website is.. it's even worse than our govt service websites lol

Yea I just it approved yesterday and I was shocked. I thought I traveled back in time.

cimb presence is little in sg

Ok, Maybank Singapore Customer Service activated your Maybank Platinum Debit Card.


However, you cannot change the PIN for Maybank Platinum Debit Card, by calling Maybank Singapore Customer Service, right?


If I am not mistaken, we change the PIN (from the default PIN assigned to us) for the Debit Card, only at Maybank Singapore ATMs. It is a pity that we cannot change the PIN (meant to be used at ATMs), at Maybank Malaysia ATMs, since we cannot travel to Singapore for now.

Yes, only activate card, PIN cannot be changed unless physically present in SG's Maybank ATM.

anybody tried transfer from cimbsg to cimbmy directly using cimbclicks ?
is the rate better than TW as claimed ?

You can try for yourself to compare but don't click confirm transfer. Just key in the value you want to transfer in the field. CIMB has higher exchange rate, while Transferwise has a fixed fee on top of exchange rate.

just wondering .... cimb even claimed that they will pay you back the difference in the event you found a cheaper way, so confident eh ?
