Let me reply you just on your first para.

So when was that passport renewed (in 2016 or 2017 ?) and how much did you pay to renew that passport ?

And secondly,.. I continue to insist you would not have saved RM400 by doing all these things you have done. YOU did not know how to ask for special rates at,.... Maybank back then. With 30K to TT,... you would have qualified for special rates by calling a certain number at Maybank,... no need to use the counter rates published on the Maybank forex page.

And then again,... if you would have gone to the 'right' money-changer,... you would have been able to 'TT' at least once using the 'right' money-changer with money-changer rates before being clamped-down by,... This,... you did not know too,...

I am waiting for your reply.

Edited twice to correct spelling errors to ensure transmitting the correct message.

So,.. after deducting this RM300 against the RM400, you seved ONLY RM 100,... or,... let's see you also used the amt for other overseas travel,.. then you saved only RM150,.. if it worth it ?

Many know abt that special number,... it depends on ur TT amt, not on your customer status... I shld have told you abt this number. 

NO risk, no gain.

Your calculation is wrong again.

The RM400 was the amt you saved by taking train up and down and eating bread. The RM300 was to pay for your passport, and this is an expense you can't avoid if you need to do it this way.

So,.. it then boils down to RM400 (you saved) minus the fee for your passport, RM300 (you expended) = RM100 nett savings ONLY after taking trains up and down and eating bread for that whole day.... Now,... is this worth it ?

I think it's getting boring for everybody trying to explain things to you. Now you are twisting the facts by saying : don't count the passport. 

Anyway,... to your last sentence,... you can;t go to Singapore anymore,... VTL restricted from tomorrow till Jan 20th., and then quota will be halved after that. No chance for you to go anymore. Ur passport fees are wasted now.

Hi, after successfully open CIMB SG, are we able to apply for CIMB SG credit card?

just wondering after submitting the application for Fastsaver SG account, do u guys get the account number and email/sms right away (instantly) ?

i mean after u click submit at the final step of application page, do we get the account number instantly?

because i only got a application reference number only

just got my CIMB SG account approved as it show up in my CIMB MY account, and manage to transfer money to it.

will we get ATM card or online CIMB SG account? so far no email or sms from CIMB SG yet.

I try to figure out how to transfer money from Wise into my AmeritradeSG account but it looks like only accept saving or current account.

So I have to use wise to transfer into my CIMB SG account then wire transfer to my AmeritradeSG   account?

And I also think I cannot wire transfer USD from my CIMB SG Foreign Currency Savings Account in USD to AmeritradeSG account. So in the end have to wire transfer money from my CIMB SG FastSaver Account in SGD to AmeritradeSG account.

dwRK and Ramjade working in banking is it? seems like expert  Even cheque have to be in SGD or USD from own account, cannot be bank draft.
ya lor, I read that also... Maybe I have to travel to SG to open a DBS account in US currency, which I can directly transfer money to AmeritradeSG account without going through currency conversion.

Is there any updated info regarding opening multi currency / USD account in Singapore for Malaysian not working or studying in Singapore?

Before Covid, several banks told me they need SGD300k for account opening. I think that is for priority banking, not the normal account.

Looks like they do not offer basic account for Malaysian who are not working or studying in Singapore since few years ago. Anyone has latest info?

Bro. Can go to any DBS branch to open DBS Vickers? Planning to open one wen able to go Singapore so tat easier to fund TD acc.

Hi Ramjade,

You have told me from previous post above that this method was 5 years ago. That's why I am asking if anyone have updated news / methods.

Not sure if your method still valid today. Have anyone tried recently?

i could open an account with only using my passports

dont need

not a student, open at jurong point branches. I just said open for future might use for investment SG stock

If you have the DBS savings account, you can open another DBS My Account online which has no fall below fee. After that you can close DBS Savings account.

I closed my POSB savings after opening MyAccount. Some months i leave SGD 1 in My account and no fee ever being charged.

does it matter?

How about a Malaysian who is not working in SG? Tks

thanks.

on another note, is there any benefit at all to get a current account in singapore?
