This is one time test. Will test multiple times for consistency (next will be when I transfer money).

Welcome to Singapore! Will your PhD come with a monthly stipend? You could save a bit of that and stash that away as spare SGD

Yea. 2.2k SGD before qualifying exam, 2.7k SGD after that.

Supervisor told me my School may offer additional stipend for teaching assistant duties.

Now I know NTU got free food almost daily! Really saved a lot on meals.

Wah! You’ll save a bundle! So happy for you

The hive must be really special, too bad didnt have a chance to view from inside.

I use to go Funan centre in the 90's for the chicken wing rice. the crispiest chicken wing ever tasted.

now it is a good time to convert to SGD.

You don't need dollardex. Moomoo, tiger and moneyowl also have access to Fullerton SGD cash fund.

earlier someone discussed and asked about closing account and whether can be done online. well, i have just learned that (for OCBC account, not sure about others ), you can just transfer out the balance to zero.

since its zero balance, there is no minimum charges and after 6 months, the account will be closed.

there goes my OCBC Easi-save account, requiring Minimum SGD 3000 balance if not service charge of 7.5 + 2 per month.

Next update



Bigpay RM10k = SGD2927.91

Looks like moneymatch wins for now.

Ramjade

Already done. Still moneymatch cheaper. lol I am using sunway for today cause moneymatch tell me need ekyc? COme on la. I already perform eyc, how many times you want me to perform ekyc???

maybe you performed ekyc too long ago (or their database died and all old customers need to redo. my theory only). i only need to do ekyc once. already transferred via moneymatch twice already

Yeah maybe. Cause been years since I use them. I was one of their early users when no such other service exist in Malaysia.

unfortunately moneymatch only MYR-SGD
i need the other way lol

Err. I opened a Money Match account,



Investing.com quoted 3.3932 as of 11:25.

So spread = [3.3932-(1005/294.05)]/3.3932 = about 72 basis points. That's about as terrible as Wise. No?

ceo684 use CIMB SG->CIMB MY during office hours.
in fact i noticed on some occasions, CIMB sg wants to buy your SGD more expansive than midvalley money changers selling SGD

can convert back to MYR, then take that MYR to buy back physical SGD in midvalley (ignore the impracticality of depositing the midvalley SGD into sg bank acct again)

Yea the RM 5 and RM 1 charged by Money match and Sunway Money do matter.

Must be careful with their "marketing strategy".

Such pricing methods are designed to trap unsuspecting customers.

u need to send more to take advantage of the RM5 flat fee
daily limit is RM30k... so u figure out your fund transfer strategy from there

oh yea... just ask us for money match referral codes

So many fintech. Go try them out if you are working in Singapore. Worked remit, remit first, singx. Off limit to me because I don't work or study or have phone number or address there.

Don't compare like that. Compare final amount you will received for every RM10k.

Ah flat fee RM 5. So "volume" needs to be big enough.

Got it gentlemen.

Opps...
