Thanks for the update. At least you tried QUOTE(moonsatelite @ Aug 23 2023, 10:45 AM) jerantut2011 Medufsaid alright, update time. already been 3 working days that i have no updates from RHB Singapore, so i decided to give them a call. Bad news, account opening requires a valid work/ student/ dependent pass Documents required as informed by the customer care officer. - Passport - Malaysian i.c - Valid proof of address and.... (repeat again) a valid work/ student/ dependent pass You are required to bring all these physical documents to any RHB Singapore branch to be verified welp... RHB Singapore isn't opening doors to Malaysians |

QUOTE(Mr Gray @ Jul 25 2023, 11:47 AM) Happy to share that I have successfully opened my OCBC Singapore account with just my IC and Passport.
The process of applying through the app is a bit a pain in the ass, as needs to do several times for the app to accept my IC. Tips, the ic can be slightly outside the rectangle. Tried about 10 times but the IC scan doesn't work.. maybe my phone camera too lousy.. Edit: tried it another 5 times and finally... stroke of luck.. it finally passed... Also, an update on Maybank SG CASA online opening promotion, now you can open a different account from iSavvy, which is the SaveUp account. Promotion is, deposit $50k for 4 months locked in period, and get $400... https://www.maybank2u.com.sg/en/promotions/...its/saveup.page?

I used the PIN and try to open the attached file from Maybank email, but it shows invalid password. My application went thru this week, after the aproval SMS and emails containing the 2 passwords, already deposited S$500 to tje iSAVvy acct? Its easier and less hassle to transfer online from a Malaysian Maybank acct. |

i think the ocbc app developer is crossing the line already. I mean the scan IC issues.
someone need to educate this stupid developer, that the app already read data from e-Passport with NFC chip that is read only and tampered proof!!!!

From what I know application is online. If you are visiting Singapore, go for DBS Vickers and DBS my account. It's superior to CIMB account. Condition to get DBS account, must open DBS Vickers. Can only be done at MBFC. |
