how long did it take to refund back into ur account? i called maybank hotline, the fella ask me to ask my imaginary RM 

influencers should always make sure their info is correct, if outdated, have to immediately retract their posts/videos. no harm in trying out the old Wise method, just need to wait for phone call only.

my friend's experience was this

• deposited $1k via wise
  
• 28 days later receive call to bankin via CIMB MY
  
• 18 days later acct finally opened. you do the math of grand total of days
  

i recommend opening MBB sg ar-rihla first instead https://apply.maybank.com.sg/regionalcasa/A...Opening/arrihla

few hours later. i tested SGD100 first before sending more. then stress when no $ receive in sg.
then later I check it was refunded.

anyone knows if i have OCBC in Malaysia, can i open OCBC Singapore online and link them together? thankss

you pick what you want to do next

1. activate MBB sg with S$200, then send S$1k to CIMB sg
   
   activate MBB sg using these steps from Maybank2u m'sia
   then once it's active, activate CIMB sg by sending S$1k from MBB sg
   
2. send S$1k to CIMB sg from CIMB my, ignore MBB sg. don't wait any longer as CIMB sg acct could risk closure if no deposit done
   
3. same as step 1, however, send only S$150 to CIMB sg, as experiment to replicate what Avangelice experienced
   

Step 1: Activate Your Account

Transfer the initial deposit into your new account via FAST from your personal bank account with another bank in Singapore.Should you wish to perform a funds transfer from your CIMB Malaysia account, simply link your new account to your CIMB Malaysia Clicks Internet Banking. Thereafter, perform a transfer from your own CIMB Malaysia account to activate your new account.

Step 2: Access your account via CIMB Clicks

Your account will be activated within 5 business days if the documents submitted are in order and the initial deposit is received, subject to the Bank’s approval.You will receive a 6-digit Activation Code via SMS within 1 business day upon account activation for you to perform your First Time Login via CIMB Clicks.Download CIMB Clicks Mobile App and set up your Digital Token to perform high value transactions.

Thank you once again for choosing CIMB Bank.

CIMB Bank Berhad,
Singapore Branch

tropik have you activated CIMB Clicks SG yet? until they manually approve and give you OTP sms code to sign up @ http://cimbclicks.com.sg/, the SGD money is effectively frozen. can see cannot touch from CIMB my

activating MBB sg would've been faster. CIMB sg approval will take 2 weeks and above. so unless u are ok to send S$200 from MBB my, might be better to let the MBB sg acct die else you have the monthly S$2 fee waiting for you if you are going to wait for CIMB sg clicks to be activated

Hi Sifu,

damien5119 MBB ar-rihla? good. after MBB sg acct is up and running, you can slowly open CIMB sg (for the better than midvalley SGDMYR rates)

Lately I saw money match rate seems to be cheaper than wise rate. If I don’t have any cimb sg or mbb sg account. Can I actually use money match to remit money into wise account’s sg balance?

Found out rate actually better than converting via IBKR deposit page. Wish to maximise the exchange since will be converting quite frequently to invest. Any idea or lobang that I can save more on MYR->USD process.

Ramjade rhb mca won't fix his issue which is ibkr
