Thanks for all the info given here. I managed to go to Maybank Subang Jaya last week to apply for the iSavvy Savings Account there.

It seemed that the form in the maybank2u website is old form. You can get a copy of the new form from the bank officer. Please ensure that the form you have is May 2015 form.....not the Sep 2011 form that is listed in their website. You can see the date on the bottom right hand corner of the form.

Was it a very tedious process?

No, it's a simple process. It was tedious in my case coz the info counter personnel & officer insisted that I have to print the form online myself but they had no idea that the form online is outdated. Here are tips for you......

1) Call the bank branch that you want to go to & find out who is the officer in charge of S$ iSavvy Savings Account.

2) Bring along your income tax number. (Requirement due to FATCA)

3) Ask to see the officer at the info counter. For MBB Subang Jaya, you don't have to take queue number.
(Don't give any more details to info counter. They may give you wrong info...from my experience mad.gif )

4) Get the form from the officer. If officer ask you to print online, you tell him that the form available online in MBB M'sia website is outdated. If he ask you to print from MBB S'pore website, tell him that your friend has called MBB S'pore & they inform must get the form from MBB M'sia.

5) Give the IC to the officer. He will photocopy your IC & chop on the photocopied IC.

6) Fill up the form with full particulars.
(Important : ensure your residential address is the same as per your IC address or your application may get rejected)

Thanks for all this info. Am at PWC Maybank currently submitting all the necessary documents. Apparently , now it will take almost 3 months for the account opening. Also , I had to deposit SGD1000

Really? hmm.gif That's not what my bank officer told me. He said it will take about one month. I only need to deposit a min of SGD500 after the bank account is open
