QUOTE(Mr Gray @ Jan 31 2023, 12:38 PM) Seems like cimb singapore account is taking longer to be approved. Made application and transfered to cimb sg from cimb my on 9 January. Called cimb sg today and application still pending approval You can try Maybank Singapore, if you have a Maybank Malaysia account. I applied online couple of months ago, it was approved the next day, and i transferred funds and started using it immediately. This post has been edited by gooroojee: Jan 31 2023, 03:05 PM |

Best way is open CIMB Sg and open up independent brokerage. For me, I won't go with either banks. Thanks, SCB does seem to have better features that I will use compared to HSBC. But meanwhile CIMB SG Fastsaver account finally got approved after 2 months. Within CIMB SG Fastsaver I can open a USD/GBP/AUD account online |

Reason CIMB ATM can only be found at their office and they only have one office in Singapore. Lol. This post has been edited by Ramjade: Jan 31 2023, 10:45 PM |

QUOTE(daijoubu @ Jan 17 2023, 01:19 AM) Between HSBC Premier vs SCB Priority banking as a gateway to open a Singapore based account, which would be better in terms of: a) options of investment within Malaysia b) option of investment within Singapore c) speed to open the account at MY and SG Thanks all in advance confirm HSBC lah, top 3 G-SIBs in the world based on FSB announcement (JP Morgan, Citi, HSCS), too big cannot bankrupt in the world For singapore side, top 7 D-SIBs is DBS, OCBC, UOB, Maybank, Citi, HSBC, Standard Chartered For malaysia side, top 3 D-SIBs is Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank |

Applied last wednesday, thursday got email. Today (friday) already approved, deposited SGD500 via Wise and can access M2U SG right away. Tiger damn efficient compared to Sotong. Almost 1 month applied CIMB SG, still no tail no head. Email from maybank said debit card will be delivered within 7 days. This post has been edited by Mr Gray: Feb 3 2023, 03:43 PM |

Apply here. https://www.maybank2u.com.sg/en/personal/cr...gd-account.pageI just follow exact step as instructed there only. Click click click. 5 minutes all done.  Just also noticed in the FAQ that Al-Rihla has the lowest minimum balance of SGD200. That would be a better option than iSAVVY which has SGD500 minimum balance.
