As far as I'm aware it must be own-name account for first e-KYC from CIMB Malaysia, as the whole purpose was to do a remote eKYC entrusting that the verification already took place on Malaysia side.

go here https://www.maybank2u.com.sg/en/personal/cr...casa/index.page open MBB sg bank acct. then transfer S$1k from MBB sg to CIMB sg. pick ar-rihla (cheapest min balance to maintain, S$200)

Use Cimb Malaysia to send the first SGD1k.

link your MBB sg Paynow ID to your malaysian phone number, then follow these steps to DuitNow overseas transfer S$200 from MBB malaysia

I suggest you learn how to err... google?

Sorry, need to get it down right away, main purpose is to deposit into IBKR.
I'm already using Maybank, so would be directly easier for me to open Maybank SG right? Or cimb sg account still has some advantage? (Besides the min sgd200 balance for Maybank sgd)

Once open Maybank sgd, use sunway money to transfer myr, and then use IBKR deposit sgd function?

Maybank SG app offline?
It shows error FEUI02 error, then show "service is not available" error

its frustrating to unable to access account.

I managed to find our why.

Maybank SG app is implementing country IP block

I use VPN Singapore and managed to login!!!!

The fees/cost to transfer from MBB MY to MBB SG also quite high cause their exchange rate is pretty bad. Initial deposit is 500 SGD which I think they require transfer direct from MBB MY.

Perhaps I'll bring some amount in cash and the rest will be in WISE, which I can use the debit card there, and then transfer to my UOB Account once its ready.

for first deposit, any issues of transferring to MBB SG using SunwayMoney? will it be queiried?
*EDIT = can, done it..almost instant transfer

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

Willingness to come to SG.
Willingness to wait 4-6H
Willingness to beg
Willingness to open DBS Vickers account
SGD3k
Utilities bill
Malaysian bank statement
Pay slip
Income tax filling

Above should be more than enough. But no guarantees.

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 S$3k deposit. Ramjade's experience may not be valid

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.

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).

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.

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