QUOTE(Xakiox @ Mar 26 2024, 01:20 PM)  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? |

Xakiox i find that the ppl who really know their products aren't there at the physical counter. To give a somewhat related example, I just went to Menara Maybank to ask about their MBB sg products and they say all account types will have S$500 minimum or above. but Ar-Rihla is one that accepts S$200 minimal https://apply.maybank.com.sg/CASA/#/welcome/arrihla This post has been edited by Medufsaid: Mar 27 2024, 07:07 AM Xakiox liked this post

QUOTE(Medufsaid @ Mar 20 2024, 08:25 AM) Barricade Yea i open stashaway sg acct. You can have Wow, this is good. MBB SG only gives around 2.6%. My only concern is in case I don't wake up tomorrow, the money will be stuck there as they don't do joint accounts yet. Can get very complicated without a SG Will. May need to get one done.
