1. No charge.
2. No card. Need to pay for it.

That's why just transfer whenever you have money. To lower the cost, I only transfer once have rm5k above.

DBs marina bay financial center. Their HQ. You need to apply for DBs Vickers as well. If you don't apply DBs Vickers you cannot open account. But that was years ago.

Just to update, I have received my letters
Only pending the $500 transfer

SGD is all time high
Need to time the OPR to exchange money

ok, thanks

Can talk more?

It took 2.5 month from your submission to approval?

More on? haha the standard submit and wait thankfully no issues besides the wait

The account opening process seem to start on early May is I received several notification and the letter was dated about that time. So I assume they will take about 1.5 months to vet the application, a week to process and 2 weeks to courier back the letters.

I applied Maybank SG online and got it approved on the next day. I'm still waiting for my SG Debit Card to arrive since mid-May, hopefully it will reach me soon.

I tried couple weeks ago when the border opened at Jurong Branch but failed to get my DBS Acc opened. Vickers oso not possible. Only possible to open their Wealth Acc with min. SG300K maintained, otherwise will have bank changes and if you thinking of closing your ordinary savings acc after ur Wealth Acc opened, tat wont work too, all Acc will be linked and if Wealth Acc closed, semua closed

Pls share ur experience if u managed to open ya. Maybe u have better luck. But my impression is they are getting more strict as my fren who oledi have Sg OCBC Acc applied for a Debit Card and CS asked for his work permit pulak

Recently re-opening border my friend able to open SCB bonus saver account bundled with their share trading account. Key word : Raffles branch only.

Anyone knows about this error? kindly please advise

i already fill up all details at m2u

Apply manually via Malaysian Maybank branches. The sg website I think still buggy to allow application via online.

thank you

I just received my debit card on 3 June!

hi, is it true when needing POSB, OCBC, standard charted, and uob,

need to deposit 250k in order to open a saving account, as Malaysia not working in Singapore, or a permanent resident.

Maybe new rules. But likely they trying to earn money from you.
If I were you, take the train or bus or plane to sg with sgd3k, walk into DBs hq at marina bay financial center and try open their DBs Vickers. By opening their DBS Vickers usually they will open bank acocunt together for you. No need so much money. But that was 7 year ago. Not sure if anything change. See ikanbilis reply later.

Need how much to open account?

Sgd3k to open the bonus saver account.

Must maintain min sgd3k at all times else sgd5 fee will be deducted every month

Thank you for the answer.

why you like your own post.

Anyway, about to come to SG soon. Can you share any documents you bring with you while opening DBS My Account? Just passport? Or you need Malaysia IC, proof of residence etc.?

I am on the Work Holiday Pass scheme. https://www.mom.gov.sg/passes-and-permits/w...liday-programme

Also does the DBS My Account come with a debit card?

Wrong like. Should be ikanbilis post. Just bring everything. Bank statement, IC, passport of course is a must, your holiday pass. You got holiday pass should be easier to open compare to us.

Yes. Make sure it's DBS Visa debit card. Other card got charges.
