QUOTE(privatequity @ Dec 18 2024, 11:18 PM) i heard if someone is ocbc malaysia premier customer, i am eligible for ocbc sg premier customer also? Not sure. But you can open priority at any Singapore banks. Tell them you want to open priority banking and all of a sudden you got no more banking restrictions. lol Walk into the bank. Of course do you have like SGD350k sitting around?. They will even fly their people to Malaysia to meet you. If parking RM250k in Malaysia to open priority in sg, I think only HSBC allow you to do that. This post has been edited by Ramjade: Dec 19 2024, 07:26 AM

QUOTE(TOS @ Jun 16 2024, 11:42 PM) I think all Maybank SG accounts don't have estatements. Last time I used Maybank iSavvy account also no estatement as well, have to use CIMB SG's statement for opening DBS account back then... I have a SG fast cimb a/c but yet to activate, can i get estatement?

gedebe once activated, your CIMB sg will have statements in PDF also, seems like MBB sg SaveUp account (S$1,000 min monthly balance) have statements, not sure how verified is this https://www.maybank2u.com.sg/en/personal/ac...Up-Account.page

Need to see if persistently better than Sunway money. If yes can consider them but have to factor in slower and may have lots of documentation.

QUOTE(Medufsaid @ Oct 20 2024, 11:16 AM) MBB sg with debit go for ar-rihla. Minimum balance only S$200 https://apply.maybank.com.sg/regionalcasa/A...Opening/arrihlaThe OCBC sg acct with debit card will require S$3,000 minimum balance. But this requirement waived for the 1st year. So u can open OCBC with debit card first for 1 year, then close acct and open ar rihla. You can get another type of OCBC acct with minimum balance of S$500, but that won't come with debit card CIMB no debit May I know for Maybank sg, how long it takes to complete the account opening?

For those of you who have been able to open a Maybank SG account, has anyone been able to open a USD currency account?
I called twice on separate occasions to ask and one agent said not available for Malaysia residents, and the other says I can but need to go to a branch in SG to open.
Anyone have a Maybank SG USD currency account?
or
Does anyone know of a way to get a USD currency account in Singapore?

Willingness to wait 4-6H Willingness to beg Willingness to open DBS Vickers account SGD3k Utilities bill Malaysian bank statement Pay slip Income tax filling Above should be more than enough. But no guarantees. This post has been edited by Medufsaid: Jan 7 2025, 10:09 AM

Hi sifu-sifu sekalian I’m having trouble making a DuitNow overseas transfer to myself, from Maybank Malaysia to Maybank Singapore with my registered mobile number. I tried using both the Maybank2u website and the MAE app, but both attempts failed. The Maybank2u website gives an "Invalid Data" error, and the MAE app says, "Transfer failed" with instructions to visit the branch. Has anyone encountered this issue before? If so, how did you resolve it? Screenshots are attached for reference:
