Which cimb Malaysia account the cheapest to open? As I need it before can open cimb Singapore account, thanks

Basic Saving Account (BSA), the one mandated by BNM and will never be promoted to new customers

Thanks a lot

adam1190 you might want to open MBB sg ar-rihla acct first. Since CIMB wants S$1,000 to be either transferred from CIMB MY or other local sg banks. Wise not accepted for CIMB sg verification

CIMB SG cut rates across the board!

https://www.cimb.com.sg/en/personal/importa...ates-oct24.html

First 25k rate drop from 1.5% p.a. to 1.19% p.a.

If I don’t have a Singapore number, can still use DuitNow overseas transfer? I tried searching past topics but cannot find any relevant information.

By the way, is it possible to do wise transfer from my Maybank Malaysia to Maybank sg account for the initial deposit?

adam1190 in maybank sg, try to find the place to add PayNow number. just key in your malaysian phone number

Ok thanks, do you know if Maybank debit card got any annual fee charges?

No annual fee charge. (Used to have iSavvy account at Maybank SG.)

Does anyone know what’s the diferrence in Sgd to myr exchange rate between maybank sg and cimb sg in general ?Thanks a lot 🙏

adam1190 what sg bank accounts you've opened so far

Planning to open Maybank sg as I am currently Maybank Malaysia holder and I am not able to open cimb Malaysia account as I am offshore..

So wanted to see the difference in exchange rate between Maybank and cimb when converting money from SGD to MYR..

i have a MBB SG.

Wise or Instarem exchange + fee has always been better every time i want to perform the exchange compared to MBB SG

can always check CIMB SGD-to-MYR rates here https://www.cimbclicks.com.sg/sgd-to-myr (please check during office hours only, more expensive during night time)



once you created MBB sg account https://www.maybank2u.com.sg/en/personal/cr...casa/index.page you can straightaway create CIMB sg acct, & activate by depositing S$1k from MBB sg. Opening CIMB MY acct + linking with CIMB sg can be done once you returned to malaysia

Instarem can convert sgd to myr?

Yes and no. You need Instagram Singapore. Not worth to use Instagram. Expensive.

lol you mean Instarem... not Instagram

Phone typo.

Anybody recently transfer from Maybank MY to Maybank SG via duitnow? Received the following error.
