Maybe you need to try ocbc hq at 65 Chulia St. Sometimes branch useless.

This account must be very old. What account type/name is it? Banks don't give passbooks these days.

In the worst case, you have to fly down here and close it, then reopen a new one (either in person or via the app).

I don't open my OCBC account via this route. Sorry.

I refer your question to Mr Gray and others. They should be able to help you.

read the instructions carefully. after taking ur IC in right angle, u r suppose to take ur IC in an angle (unusual rectangle). also the ic scanning part was buggy previously, needed multiple attempts.

front front back back. all i can say is good luck. lol

From my past experience using Maybank SG's iSavvy account, there is no monthly e-statement. You can try CIMB SG, there is monthly e-statement available for CIMB SG FastSaver account.

I got no answer for you.

Here is screenshot of my DBS USD bank account in FSM SG. If you noticed, I don't have intermediate bank details.

Here is the screenshot of amount of money I moved out from FSM SG into DBS


Here is the amount that came into my DBS bank account (minus around USD17+)


My advise just do lump sum transfer and forget about FSM after that. Don't bother with testing water. When I found out that no more free USD cheque, I just lump sum transfer. Sorry if not helpful.

No need convert everything into USD. Those in SGD can just transfer out and convert inside inside IBKR. IBKR rates are better than both DBS and FSM.

Only those in USD you withdraw and get ready to be charged.

You need to keep minimum 500 SGD all the time for iSavvy account, otherwise there is a fall-below fee of 2 SGD...

Also there are security problems with the accounts, even if you use it conservatively. My debit card kena hack before lost almost 400 SGD... have to call SG HQ to chase back my money.

-------------------

If you don't go to SG often, CIMB SG is a safer bet as there is no debit card issued for FastSaver account.

OCBC SG doesn't give debit card if opened from Malaysia?

Anyway, more debit card introduces unnecessary risks... If you don't use it/them often better don't apply/take one in the first place.

Already learnt my lesson with Maybank SG.

Yes, 1k SGD I think... The bad guy transferred 200 SGD once and triggered an alert sent to my email... once I login realize they withdraw some 10...20...50 SGD each day, so I call and chase back.

I don't use my Maybank SG card for any other purpose except from buying air ticket, pay for food in SG hawker centers and paying MRT/bus fare in SG. No tie up with any ewallet etc.

he's lucky the fraudster did it daily.

my credit card last time, made multiple transaction every minute until i called CS to block the card. some banks are really not proactive at all. like 10-15x same *facebook transactions amounting to thousands.

If normal mail 2w to 1m

abcn1n have Cimb SG called you already?

I believed activation code is via mail if I am not mistaken
Not SMS. Can't really remember. Ben years since I opened my account.

Better call them to find out. Use idd calls to bring down cost of calling.

yes it's by sms. here's my experience

• I get email of approval on friday evening saying that still pending my monthly salary slip + informing me that they'll call me for additional verification info
  
• i emailed them with bank statement pdf
  
• they call me
  
• monday afternoon, i get SMS with code to register @ cimb sg
  

Yup 1 branch only. I think sg govt law. Only those like important to economy have more branches. That's why I don't bother with apply debit card from cimb sg. ATM inside their branch and no where else and never have the need to use SGD debit card.

If you use wise, it's free. Only need to pay wise withdrawal fees.

Yes I have used wise to send USD from inside wise to DBS sg.

the above info from ringgitplus

i have maybank MY, TNG, maybank SG and OCBC SG

here is probably to do research:
- research LiquidPay - must have thailand or singapore phone number
- Maybank MY scan Maybank SG - show invalid QR
- Maybank MY scan OCBC SG - show invalid QR
- TNG scan Maybank SG - show invalid QR
- TNG scan OCBC SG- show invalid QR
- Maybank SG scan Maybank MY- show invalid QR
- Maybank SG to TNG -Not implemented yet
- OCBC SG scan Maybank MY- show invalid QR
- OCBC SG to TNG -Not implemented yet

i dont know how it works.
fyi:my Malaysia duitnow and singapore paynow is using the same number....

i found it:
MAE MY App/Transfer/Oversea tab


Transfer SGD1000:
-Wise : fee 26.14 total: 3511.04
-MAE total: 3486.75

summary: its cheaper than WISE because WISE charges fee
