Yes got incoming TT fees.

Not by MAS, but risk BNM.. because if you transfer >RM 10K you need to declare.

But still many people do that.. mostly to escape reporting to BNM.

Still depend on your amount you transfer. IF really MAS has flagged your account, it will be frozen until you can explain.

Yes money changer transfer is always suspicious by both MAS and BNM, otherwise why transfer through this method. 

BNM has already removed several money changer license recently due to reporting violations.

And the illegal money transfer case by 1MDB does not help the situation at all.

latest update here , i just open a maybank.sg account in the main branch in my area, and the super friendly staff told me that 1 month is needed for sg branch to mail everything to me, So, if anyone interested to open a maybank.sg account, do the following:
(1) go to main branch (save time)
(2) bring IC
(3) make sure u have maybank.my bank account with you
(4) no need bring any cash as the bank will directly debit from your account (500 SGD)
P/S: rate is 3.17xx : 1SGD , for 500 SGD (as of 17/1/2017) , you'll need to pay around RM1600

erm Miri, Sarawak here. hopefully my one dun have any problem 
if the maybank sg told u your application never reached them, perhaps you need check with maybank.my ? which is shah alam branch

Ramjade. do you think fsm Singapore will accept this maybank SG account?

For Cash investments, you can do wire/Telegraphic Transfer as well. The details of the account that the telegraphic transfer can be found on the payment instructions you will see on the web page during the buy process.

Do take note that for TT payment to us, the clients will need to bear all TT bank charges.

If you want further details, please email us at clienthelp@fundsupermart.com

I asked before, they onyl accept internet bill payment from few banks only (DBS OCBC UOB SC), other than that you need to write cheque or TT

Not sure whether they have like FPX service in SG?

any idea if maybank sg charges for dormant acc? let's say open an acc but never do anything?

lol. share for everyone's interest la 

this?

it says minimum 1k sgd

Hmm,... guys, forummers,... if you care abt others,.. pls practise what that is ethically and legally correct. Stay away from certain discussions.

so easy to open CIMB Fastsaver,now need to find RM 3k+ to fund this account within 30 days lol

You need to do a "FAST" transfer from another Singaporean Bank account. Failling to do so within 30 days, CIMB will cancel the account. There is only one way, which is to tranfer money from another Singaporean Bank account. So actually this doesn't help for those that dont have a Singapore Bank account in the first day.

One time I left my DBS acct for about 2-3 years no activity (no debit or credit), even the debit/ATM card is expired > 1 year. Just walk into branch, and change a new debit/ATM card, no problem took me just 5 mins.  Acct was not blocked for the period as I check online and can access, and no fees levied prior going to change the debit card.

Maybe account inactivity is not such big a problem. 

yes I know that and I do have a DBS account
I have a DBS account but since that DBS account is not earning any interest might as well open another SG bank account to throw some excess RM and earn some interest (X3 in RM terms lol)

hmm i thought DBS doesnt allow non resident to open those cheaper (eSaver) accounts. (or the RM is trying to trick me when I open my account lol)
I do have a stock with a yield of 8.75% (at my purchase price at that time), so the main purpose of my DBS is just for dividend crediting for this stock

Yep it was about 2 years back. Anyway you will need to renew your ATM card when expired, so matter of time you need to go back to sg.

You are lucky , and maybe you are a high net worth customer to Maybank Singapore.    I am just joking.

I never received any call at all from Maybank Singapore regarding my application status, and approximate date I would receive my Security Token and debit card.  I had to continuously call them, to follow up with my application status, and to ensure that I get the complete set of items (such as Access ID, PIN Mailer, Security Token and debit card).

Anyway, minor conveniences asides, I am now happy that I have a Maybank Singapore saving account. 
Regarding the debit card activation, I think that we cannot activate our debit card by sending the activation SMS, since we do not have our own Singapore mobile phone number. So, we have to personally call Maybank Singapore Customer Service Line, to activate our debit card.

It is not cheap to dial a Singapore landline number, but it is far better than travelling all the way to Singapore, just to activate the debit card over the counter in Maybank Singapore. 

What are the perks ? Or how can one reap the highest benefits from putting in SGD 200k?

Well you get preferential services when it comes to banking... Ie a different queue number when you go to their banks. You need not wait like crazy like the rest and others who came earlier will be jealous when you sit on the RM's table and she attends to your needs. 

Actually, the above is just part of it. Other perks would be you would get a totally different banking hall to separate you from the masses with coffee, snacks and reading materials (depending on branch) while waiting for services. You would get a personal RM to attend to all your needs. You will get access to personalized services not available to the masses eg: Personal concierge with their bank branches worldwide etc, special offers for deposits etc. That is just to name a few, you have to be a priority customer to know what benefits you would get.

Has anyone been able to open an  account with StanChart SG?
