QUOTE(walkman660 @ Jan 17 2017, 12:28 PM) latest update here , i just open a maybank.sg account in the main branch in my area, and the super friendly staff told me that 1 month is needed for sg branch to mail everything to me, So, if anyone interested to open a maybank.sg account, do the following: (1) go to main branch (save time) (2) bring IC (3) make sure u have maybank.my bank account with you (4) no need bring any cash as the bank will directly debit from your account (500 SGD) P/S: rate is 3.17xx : 1SGD , for 500 SGD (as of 17/1/2017) , you'll need to pay around RM1600 Which was your branch?

QUOTE(Avangelice @ Jan 17 2017, 04:23 PM) Ramjade. do you think fsm Singapore will accept this maybank SG account? Should be no problem. Heck even Malaysian account also they will accept (see how to pay - they accept TT). They are not fussy like Philips. But you pay platform fees every year. Regardless you buy or not. If you buy, kena charge 2x. current fund still with them + new fund which masuk. https://secure.fundsupermart.com/main/faq/faq.svdo?id=6210#3QUOTE For Cash investments, you can do wire/Telegraphic Transfer as well. The details of the account that the telegraphic transfer can be found on the payment instructions you will see on the web page during the buy process.
Do take note that for TT payment to us, the clients will need to bear all TT bank charges.

QUOTE(alexanderclz @ Jan 23 2017, 04:48 PM) lol. share for everyone's interest la  Trick is get a Singapore account first. Without a SG bank account, this won't work. Then apply online for cimb fast saver. One does not need to keep any amount inside there (there's no min amount/min level for fall below fees)  So eg got bank A, transfer to CIMB FS then transfer back to bank A via FAST. FAST is like our IBFT expect it's free.  Do that once a month to keep both account active

So are the discussions to 'trick' bankers into letting you open an account without valid documents. Its still illegal anyway.

It's perfectly legal by cimb sg. Go read their fees pdf file. Amount to maintain: no min amount Fall below fees: nil It's stated in their document in black and white. Even with maybank, just transfer the SGD500 to and fro from their account and back within the same day to "make it active" DBS/ocbc/scb have cheap account you know which requires just SGD0/1000 to maintain. One just need to read their fees.
