held both POSB and DBS for the past 25 yrs.....just closed them last year 

As in, you open a bank account in SG as a traveller?

Without working in SG (non SG resident)?

So, Maybank SG phoned me just a moment ago and told me that my token is locked. So they will unlock them.

The CS rep suggests me to use the token often even if no fund transfer is done. Maybe once a month, she said.

Perhaps this can be a useful advice for those who use Maybank SG with token.

bought a handful of SIA and some other SG stocks, with mixed result

You can now open Maybank SG iSAVvy savings account by logging in Maybank2u (Malaysia).

Nice...

what requirement open HSBC account for Malaysian?

The only reason I go to Singapore is because got relatives there. Else you won't find me stepping foot on that shitty expensive island either.

Just to inform Maybank SG users to check if there are any fraudulent/unauthorized transactions with your debit cards.

I noticed someone stole hundreds of SGD from my account via unauthorized debit card transactions with merchant names like MyPerfectResume.com and BLS*MYHeritageLtd.

Have to call Maybank SG Customer Rep. to deactivate my debit card and now need to submit a dispute resolution form to claim back my money...

If the "stolen" amount is small (e.g. 5 SGD), no email notification will be sent, but if the amount is large, e.g. hundreds of SGDs in one go, then that will trigger an email to your account.

So, it's best to login and check your account often.

OCBC system is down across the island...

May I know the reasons people here transfer to SG bank account for ?

I know one of them is to transfer from SG CIMB to Interactive Brokers, but is it also to park in SG because MYR is devaluing ?

Can we earn FD while we park in SG CIMB ?

Here u go. Referral code deleted already. Hahahaha

Happy to share that I have successfully opened my OCBC Singapore account with just my IC and Passport.

The process of applying through the app is a bit a pain in the ass, as needs to do several times for the app to accept my IC. Tips, the ic can be slightly outside the rectangle.

Took about 3 working days for the account to be approved. Was given Global Savings Account and Statement Savings Account.

Initial deposit required is just SGD1000, it can be from your Singaporean bank account or Malaysian bank account. I already have Maybank SG account. So this is very seamless.

Despite the T&C showing initial deposit for non-resident Statement Savings Account is SGD20k. I just needed to deposit SGD1k. Not sure if this only applies for Malaysians or what.

Regardless, even if the fall below fee for non-resident Statement Savings Account which is 20k is imposed as per T&C (no fee for first year), don't worry, we can go around this.  cool2.gif

Once you have access to the OCBC SG online banking, you can immediately apply for other accounts like OCBC 360 (minimum balance 3k) or OCBC Frank (minimum balance 1k), Monthly Savings account (minimum balance 500) or other OCBC SG accounts. I prefer OCBC 360. I will close Statement Savings Account after this.

So for all Malaysians residing in Malaysia, with no SG pass whatsoever. Right now we have 3 easy options for SG bank accounts (Maybank, CIMB and OCBC), everything done online, super easy.

i see. have been neglecting my small sg idle money. i have moomoo, endowus, syfe and stashaway sg, so i wonder

Wow, this is good. MBB SG only gives around 2.6%. My only concern is in case I don't wake up tomorrow, the money will be stuck there as they don't do joint accounts yet. Can get very complicated without a SG Will. May need to get one done.

john123x digressing a bit. does MBB sg allow you to empty out to another bank acct? S$0 balance in MBB

but from SGD to MYR, CIMB is still best, right?

poooky this is what i remember (might be wrong)

• MBB Malaysia, you can ask them to change the account type of your savings account. not sure of any fees
  
• CIMB Malaysia, you cannot change any existing savings account to no-fees type. have to create a new BSA w/o fee
  

there's a reason why i never want to deal with CIMB unless i have to

--update--

looks like 1 month ago, OCBC sg already revamped their opening account. you need proof of eventually staying in SG to open (passport alone is not enough anymore). not going to translate sorry https://youtu.be/kbuk9EAOugk so they were indeed planning this crackdown for some time
