QUOTE(coolguy99 @ Aug 19 2021, 11:32 PM) Yes you can. You can try opening Maybank sg account from here too. Not sure if they still allow it though Thanks. Will try Maybank SG next time. Since I already got Maybank MY.QUOTE(HighBall @ Aug 20 2021, 02:22 AM) Don't need to be resident or working in sg I don't have CIMB Msia yet but will try. I deposit 1k for opening.. And maybe I because I got cimb msia acc that QUOTE(Ramjade @ Aug 20 2021, 07:32 AM) You can. That applies to DBS SG only. You need to go to their HQ. I tried UOB, OCBC, Maybank all rejected me. This was because of Nahin and his 1mdb. Before this they accepted us only. Post above says CIMB and Maybank ok. I will just try all 3 (DBS in HQ, CIMB, and Maybank) and see how |

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Aug 20 2021, 12:05 PM) Unless you want to buy unit trust, then no need to go for Maybank sg as they need you to lock up sgd500. CIMB got no minimum amount. I am keeping SGD0.10 inside my CIMB sg. Thanks for the info. Dbs need to travel there. Both CIMB sg and Maybank sg can be opened from Malaysia. CIMB sg opened online provided you have CIMB my account. Maybank sg need to manually suit form with bank draft to certain branch which accept isavvy account application.  CIMB seem convenient as we can open online provided we have CIMB MY already. Just found out about this "S$ iSAVvy Savings Account". Will download and fill up the form and go to the selected branches to apply Edited : Regarding the "S$ iSAVvy Savings Account", it is still the same Maybank card we use in Malaysia right? We log in to our Maybank app, normally got basic account, and then M2u savers, and now I will have a 3rd account called "S$ iSAVvy Savings Account". And I can just move the money, say from M2U saver to this "S$ iSAVvy Savings Account" through the Maybank app? Since I have to deposit SGD $500 within 30 days from the date of account opening.. I assume I can just say, transfer RM1600 from M2u savers to that Savvy account This post has been edited by SkyHermit: Aug 20 2021, 12:33 PM |
