OCBC SG has quietly increased the monthly fee for non-residents to SGD 50 per month and minimum daily balance for waiver to SGD 25k. These are astronomical numbers. There is also no option to open the Monthly Savings Account in the apps for non-residents. Looks like the OCBC SG account is only good for the first 12 months. We can switch to the OCBC 360 which requires minimum SGD 3k but the bank can easily introduce a new fee of SGD 50 per month for non-residents.

coolguy99 yes i know. i'm researching on how to auto-close the account. i read in hardwarezone that you have to leave S$10 behind in your account. and let it autodeduct for 5 months. need an MBB sg user to verify that.
![]() currently OCBC and CIMB sg allows you to empty out the acct, and start the autoclose timer |

Hi, newbie here, anyone here dca into sp500 index? Which etf did you buy? And how much transaction cost you incurred? I have seen people recommend CSPX, but my dca amount is very low, and the minimum cost of usd 1.70 seems quite expensive over long term.

ck8811 wrong topic. but to answer your question, you can buy USA etfs. then each year, you sell all and buy into CSPX.

Anyone here with Maybank SG account who didnt activate the debit card?
Any issue with that? I'm getting 2nd SMS reminder to activate it. Thought of not activating it at all since not using the card and to avoid fraud like TOS experienced. |
