Tax declaration was started by maybank SG this year. Had my stuff arrived in Dec, I don't need to sign tax declaration also.

Starting from 2017 onwards, the Singapore government requires all foreigners who are opening an account in Singapore to provide their TIN (tax identification numbers) and sign a tax declaration form.

cant blame the staff actually , maybe they also duno need sign the tax declaration form (as this just started 2017 onwards) , so have to wait 1 more month 

Woi... im wholesome Malaysian leh. 
Not really. If you need to open another account, even with Maybank, for example a new FD placement or a trading account, you will still need to furnish your TIN number. So there is no running away. 

When are you going to spend me Hooters?

I have some questions about online application of Maybank Kim Eng Trade Prefunded Account.
For online application (https://eforms.maybank-ke.com.sg/page-1.html), I shall select 'Stocks',

It will lead to this page https://eforms.maybank-ke.com.sg/page-2.html. Judging from your response, it is not really a full fledged online application form, whereby we can just fill up our particular details, and then upload the necessary documents to the website. For that, we still need to manually fill out application form and send the forms to them via post, right? It is a bit of hassle.   
Refer to this website (http://www.maybank-ke.com.sg/open-an-accou...listing/stocks/).
I have a CDP account, so I should not need to have my supporting documents certified by Commissioners for Oaths.  At most, I will send my CDP statement to Maybank Kim Eng by post.

but they will ask why do saving in SGD. how to answer?

Bro is not helpful anymore,....

Better be less helpful to bro too in future,...

If I remembered correctly, you sent your application form for your Maybank Kim Eng Trade Prefunded Account, via courier service to Singapore.

So, after your application for the trading account was approved, how many letters did you receive, so that you can gain online access to your Maybank Kim Eng trading account?

Thank you for your information.

Hi Bro ShinG3e, mind to share why would you opened both Cash Account and Prefunded Account?

Thanks for confirmation, ShinG3e. 

So, no security token for Maybank Kim Eng Trade Prefunded Account and Cash Account, right?

Also, we do not get any SMS one-time password sent to our handphone, if we transact (buy or sell shares) on the Maybank KE online website (www.ketrade.com.sg), right?

The android app is good, i dont login to the webpage anymore. All my MKE trading is done with the app. 

Thanks for the confirmation, ShinG3e.  So, Maybank KE transactions are not as stringent as using Maybank Singapore online website, whereby we need to use security token or SMS OTP to transfer fund in Maybank Singapore website. 

What is the meaning of "forced" in your screenshot?

hi,

i have browsed through this topic and it seems like most people are recommending opening a maybank iSavvy account. My question is is there a PDF application form to download? i went to maybank SG site and the only option was to fill up the online form.

since i will be heading to SG sometime in August. I guess i will head to a local branch to try my luck. May I also know what are the documents that are needed?

For Maybank KE Trade Prefunded Account, what is the best and fastest way to transfer money from a Singapore saving account to the Prefunded Account? i do it using barter trade with a business owner in SG but resides in MY. The rates are following xe.com which is cheaper than bank transfer and money exchange house. 

From Maybank Singapore online banking website, I used Payment > Electronic Payment for Shares (EPS) > Lump Sum Payment. If I transfer fund via EPS before 8 pm today, my trading limit will be updated only tomorow. As such, I can only buy share, tomorrow.
It is consistent wth what is stated in the FAQ website - settlement (http://www.maybank-ke.com.sg/contact-us/faqs/ke-trade/).

Is there a way to transfer fund from a Singapore saving account, and then the trading limit will be updated within an hour or so? Thus, we will have more chances to buy the share at a lower price. i'm not sure about this thou.

Thanks for the advice.

On a side note, I made a siliy mistake, when I first tried to buy share on Maybank KE trade website.    My Maybank KE Trade Prefunded account is linked to my Maybank iSavvy saving account, via Electronic Payment for Shares (EPS).

I wrongly thought that when I clicked 'buy on Maybank KE trade website, the fund would automaticaly be deducted from my saving account, via EPS. For sure, the share purchase was rejected, due to zero trading limit of my trading account. Yes, it is a silly mistake, but it is a lesson well learnt. 

Alright, you also use EPS.   

Your method is better, as it avoids the delay of fund transfer. 0.3 to 0.4 % interest is given for the unused fund in the prefunded account, higher than 0.1875% in iSavvy saving account.
Yeap, same as what is stated here.
yup. pretty simple reason to do so. and just leave SGD500 in MBB SG is fine.

Sigh, for Maybank KE trade prefunded account now, we do not have eStatement that state the transactions and the breakdown of the associated fees. Other than the source of the fund, there should not be any difference in Maybank KE trade (cash) account and Maybank KE trade prefunded account.

Do you get your Contract Notes, via e-mail or post?

No, my remisier did not notify me anything. Then again, I am just a small-time customer.  Thus, I can't blame him, since he puts his attention on his more significant customers.

Other than contract notes, what else did you receive by post, after completing buy and sell transactions? Such as monthly hardcopy statement?

can we park the money at prefunded acct, then when use cash acct to buy share we have options to ask them to deduct from cash in prefunded acct or EPS or FAST transfer?

with this, we can open an account in Singapore without being in Singapore??

wah.... nice!! Was planning a trip to SG soon.

will do!! First have to observe when SGD becomes the lowest ....

"Initial deposit in the form of a SGD Demand Draft made out in your name, and is obtainable from any of our 40 listed Maybank Malaysia Branches"

can i ask what this means?

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. Is there any additional requirement to open the iSavvy account in Malaysia
I was informed by one staff that in order to be able to open the isavvy account, must be Premier customer / deposit of 250k fixed deposit. Is this accurate?

Appreciate your swift response! so the criteria are just as per the form? Ie existing Maybank customer, minimum deposit of $500? + of course form and ic?

Edit: just an update, unfortunately that's the 'additional' criteria now, at least where I'm from  (I'm from sabah). Just been to the two branches stated in the form. Both of them 'state' the same prerequisite. Spoke to the RM at one of the branches too. Not sure if entirely true since some of you have managed to open them without any hassle.
