coolng are you this guy? 👇if different guy, there's a chance MBB MY->MBB SG connection has issue for now. or you can follow the instructions, go to MBB branch to sort it out

at the same time, can you open CIMB sg account? it has no minimum balance required. you already have sg bank acct so opening CIMB sg acct is free

Try to open My Account online with DBS. Then close your existing account online. My Account does not have any minimum balance and no charges whatsoever.

I can say its definitely Maybank issue

my experience:
When I try to apply this Maybank SG account, it also show this kind of error. When I ask around here, they all say its all fault at my end. It makes me feel depressed for some time. It make me feel very angry with this country for racism.

Then, after few months, I retry, and miraculously it went through easily
