QUOTE(blackflam @ Jun 1 2010, 12:03 AM) I recently open bank with DBS/POSB. Took me less than 10 minutes. I don't even stay / work there. My main purpose is for online transactions only because I do not trust Maybank (yet) ^^; I tried another bank, they say I have to work/resides in Singapore to be eligible. The bank is red in color, can't remember much. Does anyone know whether DBS/POSB require malaysian the tax file number when opening an account?? |

QUOTE(Cookie101 @ Apr 19 2018, 03:22 PM) So much hassle for the account. Be a PB in Malaysia and ask for offshore account. The RM will have it all sorted out for you. After all you won’t be shifting your entire assets to SG what. Also there is preferential rates for the transfer for having PB acc here. Thanks this sounds interesting. Is there a bank you recommend. I am with maybank and their premier account doesn't seem to have offshore facilities. They offer a foreign currency account ($US1,000 to open) but the currency is not kept offshore. |
