I email Cimb. The FAST trasnfer must come from another Singapore account in your name. Third party, TT won't cut it. It's even stated on their website.

Is this the email to CIMB Singapore? : AtYourService@cimb.com

I emailed them 2 days ady but no reply. Maybe I expect fast reply from Singapore side biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

nowadays it is so convenient.

those days when I wanna open Singapore Bank account, I have to travel physically to singapore and talk to the officer there. Then they "interrogate me" the reason to open a singapore account as I don't work there and im not a singaporean or PR.
