what I did back in 2015 was to fly down to SG during MALAYSIA public holiday, eg: Malaysia Day, Thaipusam, Quran etc..then u can save on taking days off from work..also, now with many budget air, u can go down to SG with the earliest flight, and come back on the same day...opening an account should not take more than half a day.

in 2015, i managed to open an OCBC bank acc linked with trading acc, giving them the reason I want to trade with OCBC securities...

good luck guys...

Cimb SG or transferwise. I prefer  transferwise cheaper. Of course you don't be like our friend here Jack2 who kena banned from transferwise. for God knows what he did.  So far I had no issue with transferwise. Rate cheap and speed fast.
They don't support transfer from SG.

InstaREM no good for SG to MY ? I have done MY to SG and their rate is pretty good, and process to do the transfer was a breeze...

Instarem is fast to process?

Meanwhile I use CIMB SG to get instant credit to my CIMB MY. Rate is good too. 1-2 cents above other Banks par value.

If you are working in Sg, just go with DBS. Don't bother with banks.
