QUOTE(asakura_hao @ Dec 25 2019, 10:06 PM) I also opening the instarem account all going through online, snap photos driving license/ic, selfie, everything do online. Memang. We Malaysians practically got no luck with instarem Singapore. There are only 3 ways to bring money back to Malaysia from Singapore. Afterthat everything done, just find out cannot use Malaysian instarem to transfer SGD to MYR, so I just change to TransferWise. - transferwise - cimb sg - 3rd fintech not tested yet. QUOTE(alexanderclz @ Dec 25 2019, 10:23 PM) how's TW rates from SGD to MYR? Not very good. Cimb usually better rates. But still cheaper than DBS. Cimb > transferwise > DBSQUOTE(alexanderclz @ Dec 25 2019, 11:10 PM) had issues with financial authorities before? or maybe as ramjade say, ur location cannot 'open' account? QUOTE(jack2 @ Dec 25 2019, 11:27 PM) No. If my location cannot open account, sure they will tell me so. Now they claimed that it is their internal policy and cant tell me why. I think got issue with transferwise (got something to do with him involving with bitcoin). Hence sharing of information among financial companies.I believe that they must google my name and found that I have companies in oversea and thought that I am going to do money laundering. The reason why they can't disclose they reason is, they afraid of salah by saying that I opened the account for money laundering and being sued.

QUOTE(frostfrench @ Jan 20 2020, 08:52 AM) Thank you everyone for the inputs. Appreciate all of them. Open up cimb sg. Then contact instarem tell them you want to do a big transfer.My main purpose to ask whether to open a CIMB SG bank account is for me to transfer my money from CIMB MY. I am planning to transfer RM 1million in batches. I am looking for the best sales charges and best exchange rates. If you want priority service, best to go for DBS Treasures |

QUOTE(echoesian @ Feb 24 2020, 11:02 PM) How to apply Singapore bank account online? QUOTE(Eurobeater @ Feb 25 2020, 05:57 AM) Which online platform did you use to apply for the SGD Bank acc? Or did you apply it though the online platform of big banks? And which broker you used to exchange the money? To open online account the answer is Cimb fast saver. Then use Cimb Malaysia to transfer SGD1k over. Aftrr that use instsrem to transfer movie over. All no need travel down to Singapore. This post has been edited by Ramjade: Feb 25 2020, 07:14 AM |

QUOTE(abcn1n @ Apr 25 2020, 07:27 PM) Why are people not using TransferWise? So far I have been using TransferWise instead of Instarem to transfer RM to SGD. Very fast. Is CIMB SG-->CIMB my better than transferwise's rate? Transferwise most of the time expensive vs instarem. Is the only fintech I will use for bringing money back to Malaysia should there be a need. There is another fintech based in singapore which allows malaysians to open an account online. Have not tried them yet. But I know this fintech rates is the cheapest.Noticed that xe.com may also be able to transfer? Not sure. Did not explore it Cimb sg rates sometimes better than transferwise. Surprisingly. Forget about xe. We cannot use XE. XE is only for westerners. This post has been edited by Ramjade: Apr 25 2020, 07:57 PM |

QUOTE(mr_tuzki @ Apr 25 2020, 08:14 PM) What's the best / easiest way to open a Sg bank account, without having to physically go there?

Is it possible to open ask our Malaysian Maybank / CIMB branch to open a corresponding account with their Sg counterpart? Your answer is found here. Kindly read. No spoon feeding. |
