Bank accounts
- Maybank SG is able to link with Maybank2u
- DBS bank is better for normal usage (as its more common for Singaporean, their TAC will be sent to our Malaysia phone without any charge) Free debit card (will mail to malaysia address without charge, no annual fee ) Just walk in to any branch with some money (double check on the minimal deposit)

Broker
- Philip Capital , last time manage to open an account with Malaysia IC in their shopping mall booth
- not sure about others..

anyway what is the saving and FD Interest rate in Singapore. ?

the rate is about 1:2.5 ?

I am a Malaysian and soon working in Singapore. Now think where should I open a bank account.

I have though of Maybank cause I have some commitment here that I need to settle every month, and give my mom pocket money too Does anybody know by chance if we could transfer money from mbb SG to mbb MY with no charge?

no such thing as NO CHARGE laa..

but I would be interested to know what is the charges applicable to transfer SGD from my SG_MBB back to MY_MBB in MYR. Anyone could share ?

Bro, some employer might give you referral letter for you to open account with specific bank.
Maybank SG and MY are different entity bro. Whatever transfer also have charge. Withdrawal from ATM in Ringgit after crossing into Johore will also be charged.

you can always check at their website. SGD15 if not mistaken.

Has anyone tried this "RegionLink" service from MBank_S'pore?

Is BNM able to check our bank account opened in oversea ?

Since DBS/POSB had changed their requirement, actually I opened long ago am I still entitle for the balance fall below RM500, a fee of SGD$2 will imposed or the follow the old rules?

Reviving old thread... can I open SG UOB bank account through MY UOB bank account?

bump^

Minimum deposit s$500 or they will charge maintainance fee

even in OUB?

You can search online for that info.

Yes. And it is one the lowest in Singapore already. The other two Singaporean banks require you to keep an average balance of S$1,000/month to avoid the account service fee. It used to be only S$500 only at DBS but foreigners are not allowed to open that account anymore.

Anyway, do bear in mind that if you do not work or live in Singapore, the bank reserves the rights to reject your application to open an account.

tried searching the info... apparently only high networth of individual are likely to get to open bank account? for non-resident, non-pr, non-permit?

This is the info i gather from internet:

Non-resident foreigners may also open personal bank accounts but banks are usually reluctant to do so, the processes/criteria being more stringent. High networth non-resident foreigners may also have access to banks in Singapore via private banking channels.

They will no doubt ask you why do you want to open a SG bank account when you do not work or live there.


Not necessarily must be a Private Banking customer. Mass Affluent Banking customers such as HSBC Premier, Citibank CitiGold or Standard Chartered Priority Banking is another alternative to open a SG account.

Is there any way I can open a SG UOB account in Malaysia? I gona call UOB later.

think all singapore banks

do double check

just for your info
