i read through a few latest posts here..... it seems Maybank and OCBC is also an option nowadays? |

About time to close my OCBC SG Frank Account, I checked with Frank Store at NTU, they told me the account will auto close in 6 months time if there is no activity.
Otherwise I need to go to the nearest OCBC branch to close it. Gonna visit Jurong Point again... |

QUOTE(Medufsaid @ Mar 8 2024, 08:39 AM) CommodoreAmiga Managed to link ocbc sg account with duitnow. A couple weeks later try to transfer SGD10 from MBB, but failed. Seems like bank has roadblock in place, need to physically go into bank to be interrogated and KYC. Maybe with new BNM regulations coming into play to clamp down on RM outflows.
Anyone experience this?  This post has been edited by poooky: Mar 21 2024, 07:29 PM |

poooky if it's just face-to-face KYC, just do it at MBB malaysia branches & update us why your acct kena flagged. else you use moneymatch which will be illogical if you just send S$10 only (just use Wise).

Breaking News
confirmed that CIMB sg doesn't accept S$1 e-KYC via CIMB MY + S$1000 from Wise anymore (for account opening). Bank will call you to topup couldn't test out if CIMB sg allows funding from MBB sg as my contact actually transferred the remaining S$999 via CIMB my as he doesn't want to delay any further This post has been edited by Medufsaid: Mar 22 2024, 02:37 PM |

I did it back 2016 without physically appearing in SG. Just sign up the eSaver acc in big MBB branch and they auto deduct sgd500 from your local mbb account for acc opening. Took around 1 mth to receive the card and letters.i read through a few latest posts here..... it seems Maybank and OCBC is also an option nowadays?

 Anyone recently manage to open their ocbc sg account on the app? Do they actually still accept foreign registration? I was able to scan the ID, if already save my info that should mean no need to scan ID again? |

Btw for those struggling to scan the ID "from bottom"
I used blacks socks to tilt the bottom of the card up and managed to successfully scan it |

Hello sifus,
I have both CIMB Malaysia account and OCBC SG account. CIMB Malaysia DuitNow registered with my Malaysia number and OCBC SG PayNow registered with my SG number. Just to check, with the introduction of DuitNow Cross-border payment, I can remit up to 3000 MYR from my CIMB Malaysia account to my OCBC SG account right? Anyone tried that before? I am not sure how to initiate a transfer from CIMB Clicks Online banking portal? Is it through the usual DuitNow pathway and just type in my SG phone number in the recipient column?  Thanks for helping.  |
