Then your application should be on the way already, congrats ! But still in case anything unlucky happen, I think you should give a call and ask for the updates on your application status

I'm glad I found this. Went to Maybank just now, and ask if i could open an sg acc and they replied that I can't open it in Malaysia and also that I need a work permit.  hmm.gif
*
initially i thought maybank.my close it already for account opening , cause the information regrading this "iSavvy Account" on their website is gone .

but i read the following comment , there is someone who had successfully open the account. so i think you is the bank problem . try go visit the same branch and ask again or go to other branch if possible

I applied early this month, still use demand draft.

May be they change their procedure for the sg side to ask you to TT your new account instead? sweat.gif

I went to Maybank and open the iSavvy account. Filled up everything except TIN section. Then she said that demand draft is not needed for now. Let the Singapore counterpart to contact me. Is this the right procedure or she's doing it wrong?
*
why you didn't filled up the TIN ?

When i apply for cimb fast saver, dont know why, the field for me to fill in the TIN dont have enough space (the online form limit character), there is a section that let you write why you cant provide a TIN number, I literally just write not enough space for me to fill in laugh.gif

To my surprise, CIMB SG actually called me to understand the situation and I provided my TIN through phone laugh.gif
*
ohh , i duno about the form as i go to the office and meet the staff , she just told me fill this and sign here , LOL

then next day she call me again, and double confirm with me .

Yes, but cimb fast saver can fill online form to apply without visiting any branch smile.gif

Initially after i applied cimb, went down to sg to apply for dbs mca, end up no luck (probably can if you apply vickers but back then i didnt thought about it)

So right after my trip, I faster go and apply maybank

Looks like after receive everything, I will need to TT another 500sgd to maybank before can fast transfer to cimb

hopefully will not be too late before they close my cimb account cos u need to deposit within a month after they open your account

but surprisingly, i can link the cimb sg account under cimbclicks my, can view from there laugh.gif, not sure can just self transfer from there or not laugh.gif
*
i think u TT $600 better , if u TT $500 , then your maybank.sg will left 0 . take note haha

Ok, the staff was wrong. They called me and say 2 things are missing.  shakehead.gif

1) My demand draft of SGD 500.
2) My local income tax no.

Got both done this morning and they say they will courier the docs over to Singapore today.

good luck for waiting , usually it takes 1 month (if nothing goes wrong)

Happy Chinese New Year to you!  rclxm9.gif

Here is the list of items I received from Maybank Singapore, in case anyone else want to know about them:

1. Welcome Letter (showing your Maybank iSAVvy Savings Account number)

2. Maybank Singapore Online Banking Access ID Letter

3. Online Banking Access ID PIN Mailer

4. Online Banking Security Token

5. Maybank Singapore Platinum Debit Card

6. Maybank Singapore Platinum Debit Card PIN Mailer

7. Maybank PhoneBanking (Dial-Link) (Optional)

8. Maybank PhoneBanking (Dial-Link) PIN Mailer (Optional)
The general contact number is in http://info.maybank2u.com.sg/personal/cust...contact-us.aspx.

Telephone number: (65) 6533 5229

The thing is that the Maybank Singapore Customer Service Executive will not forward our call to the actual Maybank Singapore officer in-charge of opening our saving account. So, Maybank Singapore Customer Service Executive themselves do not really know about the actual processing status, unless being informed by the actual Maybank Singapore officer-in-charge.

I called the general telephone number twice a week. After being informed by the actual Maybank Singapore officer-in-charge, the Customer Service Executive should be able to tell you the date on which the items are sent out from Maybank Tower (Maybank Singapore Headquarters in Battery Road, Singapore) by mail.  After a week or so, you should receive the items in your house.

hi there, are u receive all the thing above in one shot or seperately? i received welcome letter on 14/3/2017 , today (20/3/2017) i received Online Banking Access ID PIN Mailer . with these 2 letters i still cant sign up for online banking bangwall.gif (cause i dun even have access id )

Don't worry. All my previous mails from other SG banks/related agency also came one by one. laugh.gif  doh.gif  That person displayed out all the mails you will receive in due time.

Btw, I also didn't receive everything from Maybank yet  tongue.gif

Next you will ask me is how long to wait right?  tongue.gif
Ans: Usually one letter per week.  doh.gif

Really don't know what wrong with SG banks. Why do they like to send one by one and using normal post. Use DHL la. doh.gif
*
if one letter per week , i think i need 3 months (17/1/2017 - 17/4/2017) to just open a bank account @@ bangwall.gif

QUOTE(kart @ Mar 20 2017, 10:26 PM)
I received the letters one by one. The reason I made the list is that you can check your items with mine. If there is anything missing, you need to inform Maybank Singapore.

Within a month or so, you should receive all items and can activate online banking. Did you submit a bank draft worth SGD 500, with your application forms? For me, I did not submit any bank draft, and transferred the required SGD 500 from my other Singapore saving account to my iSavvy account, after my online banking access was activated.

My concern is that after a month, if you still cannot activate your online banking, your saving account may be closed, due to zero balance. If you feel that the delay is too long, you should inform Maybank Singapore.

Another way to activate online banking is through your debit card, as reported by lamode.
*
i do submit the bank draft together with my application form. so i guess i can only wait now , will check with them if this week still not able to activate my online banking. thanks for the reply!
