For CIMB - I successfully registered. Managed to get a friend in SG to transfer 1K SGD to my account, so now on my end I just need to link it up with my Malaysian CIMB and send 1 SGD to my account right?
If they were to call me will the reason - invest in Singapore work? Did anyone try anyone use any other reason? Thanks! |

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Aug 9 2020, 12:03 AM) Yes you can ask your friend to send you the money. It won't be activated. After 30 days if you don't transfer in money from a bank under your name they will auto close account and refund your friend that SGD1k. Yep! So as I've read one of the threads - 1 SGD is acceptable as well right from my CIMB? I'm now pending the link approval from CIMB Clicks Malaysia. There's a reason for asking you to use your own account to transfer money to active it. Is part of their KYC.  |

Got the call from CIMB SG. They were the ones who told me to transfer 1 SGD with my CIMB MY account after transferring the 1K SGD from a different account - so I guess that is fine wherever your 1K SGD comes from.
