Hi guys! I'm happy to report that I've managed to open my isavvy account! So thank you so much for the guidance (from the difference questions and answers from other users) and responses! (just remember if the banks do taichi, just move on to another branch that is stated in the form  . And also, there's a new form to be filled now! Make sure you fill up the latest edition if not you may need to refill the forms again and this will only cause further delay)

Also, now that I have activated my debit card (can't set limit though since it requires me to do it over the ATM) and my online banking, is there anything else i should be aware of? Like annual fees (i read somewhere that there is no annual fee but I'd like some confirmation), or minimum transactions if not the account will be disabled? Other than the minimum $500 deposit? Can I just leave my account 'dormant' for the time being?

And is it possible for me to sign up for the online access to view my card transactions (since it requires mobile number and i don't have a sg mobile number)?

Sorry if the questions sound noob.
