I just open a CIMB SG account, received email with the application. However I need a password send to my mobile number to open the application attached, and I didn't receive any, anyone got experience how long need to wait for CIMB SG to send sms?

Usually pretty quick, like minutes. Might be worth retrying or checking signal

annoymous1234 have you already deposited S$1k into CIMB sg acct for verification purposes?

annoymous1234 have you linked to CIMB MY already?



after linked, it should appear here (just that u cannot withdraw S$ until acct approved)

Re my initial deposit for CIMB S'pore, I tested with S$1 transfer from my joint account in another Spore Bank.
It showed up in my CIMB clicks online and the linked Sg account is shown as "active". Then transferred another S$999 from the same joint account. Immediately reflected in the account as seen in my CIMB clicks.MY.

It's been 2 days, I've not received any activation code  for CIMB Clicks Sg.
Hmm, maybe need to contact them

I thought something not right as their approval email says they will send  a 6 digit  activation code via SMS, to enable log-in to Cimb.Sg within 1 business day after account is activated.

So, the 'active' status i see on Cimb Clicks. MY  does not mean that the account is actived.

yea.. then your situation is unique, or CIMB SOP already changed from years ago. usually what happens is, u can still see amount details from CIMB MY side before CIMB SG actually approved/activated

update. i just received email from CIMB SG asking me to transfer SGD1000 to continue my application, I also have my account number, now doing the linking,
btw, if they ask me what is the purpose of opening account, is it safe to say for investment? if they ask me what investment, how to reply? i scare 

No, do not ever mention the word investment when you open an account with any bank.

Tell them you like their SGD FD rates, or will go to SG often to travel, or you like their MYR to SGD FX conversion rate.

Say anything that will please the bank, even though they are complete nonsense.

annoymous1234 a tip here. you can either link by

1. transferring S$1k from CIMB MY (expensive), or
   
2. open an MBB sg acct now and transfer S$1k from MBB sg to CIMB sg https://apply.maybank.com.sg/regionalcasa/A...Opening/arrihla
   

route no. 2 will allow you to save on forex costs, but of cos that means you'll end up with 2 sg bank accts. CIMB sg used to allow deposits from wise for verification purposes but not anymore

if you make your transfer to SGD via sunway money, do they ask you for reason of transfer like money match? i haven't done any transfer via sunway yet

Of course. But they don't need sg address. But you need to be there in person.

Specifically DBS HQ at MBFC.
