Between HSBC Premier vs SCB Priority banking as a gateway to open a Singapore based account, which would be better in terms of:

a) options of investment within Malaysia
b) option of investment within Singapore
c) speed to open the account at MY and SG

Thanks all in advance

Seems like cimb singapore account is taking longer to be approved. Made application and transfered to cimb sg from cimb my on 9 January.

Called cimb sg today and application still pending approval

I will say SCB cause their SCB brokersge is good (no fees) but loudy in terms of expensive Forex (hike up).

Best way is open CIMB Sg and open up independent brokerage.

For me, I won't go with either banks.

Thanks, SCB does seem to have better features that I will use compared to HSBC.

But meanwhile CIMB SG Fastsaver account finally got approved after 2 months.
Within CIMB SG Fastsaver I can open a USD/GBP/AUD account online
