I always like 1010. So not sure if still got the promo. Always compare Vs moneymatch. Hence possible the delay from comparison.

anyone using maybank sg noticed that transaction history dont have timestamp at all? few weeks ago travelled to sg and now only check back receipt and transaction in maybank sg "expenses" tab. can reprint receipt but totally no time stated when the transaction is made. only date.

i-savvy dont have estatement cuz it said in FAQ. if want statement need go to sg branch and request paper statment. will be about $30 per statement. www#.maybank2u.com.sg/en/bank-charges/sg-loans-others/savings-account.page#:~:text=Ad-hoc%20Request,30%20per%20month

Just a note, ....

Banks may hold, reject some transfers if more than half of an account's balance is moved out
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/b...-oct-15-5383281

SINGAPORE: From Oct 15, banks may hold or reject transfers from accounts with balances of at least S$50,000 (US$38,800) if withdrawals over 24 hours amount to more than half of the total funds.

The safeguard will be triggered when a transaction, together with other withdrawals in that time period, exceeds 50 per cent of the available amount.

The new measure from Oct 15 will apply to accounts with balances of at least S$50,000 and is part of enhanced fraud surveillance.

"Customers may experience delays in digital payments and transfers, including for legitimate transactions, as banks step up their checks to protect customers," said ABS.

"Customers are advised to plan time-sensitive banking transactions (for example, for share purchases) in advance to avoid incurring fees and charges due to any delay."

Major retail banks – DBS, OCBC, UOB, Citibank, HSBC, Maybank and Standard Chartered – will implement the safeguard to all current and savings accounts, including joint accounts.

The safeguard will apply to all digital banking transactions done through bank apps and internet banking.
Non-digital banking transactions, including cash withdrawals at bank branches and ATMs, will not be affected.

Ramjade, may I know how did you open DBS account? I tried to apply online through their phone app just now and I could not proceed because I do not have the FIN that they required as I am not employed in Singapore.

In person. Go there. Sg banks cannot open online except for Maybank or Cimb.

Thank you so much. Your reply gave me the keyword to find this reply that you made last time.
Does the utility bill need to be my name cause mine is not my name? The address is same as my IC though

Fantasia just do what u can but no guarantees. anything can change anytime. e.g., OCBC SG allows foreigners like mainland chinese, malaysians to open bank acct with S$1k deposit but since the rule tightening, you need to provide a copy of the letter offer of employment (no need FIN) plus one deposit of S$3k. previously you just need to accumulate until S$1k so doing DuitNow overseas transfer of S$500 for 2 days is sufficient. Ramjade's experience may not be valid

I see. Thank you very much for your info. I should at least give it a go when I travel to Singapore next time and at the same time, manage my expectation.

Need to be done at DBS HQ. Not normal DBS branch.

I personally went to DBS HQ last year to ask about it.
Went up to Level 3 or is it Level 4 in MBFC to enquire.

I was told since the Covid days, the Vickers team will only entertain you by appointment. They have also moved up to Level 14(?).

So I didn't get the chance to beg 🤣 or maybe I didnt try hard enough.

You perhaps can find out about this appointment thing and prepare ahead. Let us know if you manage to make it, all the best.

Vickers is their broker business, right? I just want a normal saving account first.

Then it's unlikely you will be able to open one.
At the counter they will tell you to do it online.
But you don't have FIN or SingPass...

Unless you are going for premier banking.
All in 6 figures (DBS, UOB, Stanchart).

RM300k to open HSBC MY premier acct, and you can get HSBC sg

You need the Vickers to open their normal savings account. No trading account, no savings account.

No need. I opened mine as a student. No money. No active income.

I see. That is a crucial detail I missed out. Thanks for the insight.
That is a lot of cash where I need to dig from other places... I will rather not do that. Thanks for the info anyway.

Bro, were you a student in Singapore back then?

But time has changed, so are their regulations.

Anyway, thanks for responding to my queries back then.

Nope. I wish. If you student in Singapore, easy to open account. If you are like me nobody banks also don't want to entertain you.
