QUOTE(Medufsaid @ Mar 3 2022, 06:32 PM) there's pro and cons... quite a few banks have fall-below fee so you have to be careful when picking a bank (e.g., if your average monthly balance is below S$500 there's a $2 monthly service charge) https://dollarsandsense.sg/4-banking-accoun...singapore-know/in my case, want to close my acct there also think twice bcos if want to reopen again, the fall-below threshold will be $1000  If you have the DBS savings account, you can open another DBS My Account online which has no fall below fee. After that you can close DBS Savings account. I closed my POSB savings after opening MyAccount. Some months i leave SGD 1 in My account and no fee ever being charged. |

When i was having both accounts, i left My account with zero balance no problems whatsoever. After i closed my posb savings account, i always leave it with at least sgd1 to be safe. |

QUOTE(TaiGoh @ Jan 8 2022, 11:23 AM) If you are Malaysian, you can open account with Malaysia NRIC and put your residential address in MY as well. You just need to show your Credit Card/Saving Account Statement will do. If you would like to open account with SG address, I think Phone Bill should work as well but you need to wait until your bill is out. Better call and check with DBS on this. How about a Malaysian who is not working in SG? Tks |

Buy a ticket to sg and try luck. Read back previous pages about how to go about it. Worse come to worse they reject you. If you are lucky you get your account. |
