First are you 18 years and above?
A Malaysian or Permanent Resident? Opening a Personal or Joint Account?
And please note the Minimum deposit of $5000. (In the form of a SGD Demand Draft)
Ok? Then next steps:

Visit your nearest Maybank branch, bring along your original Identity Card (IC), Police or Armed Forces ID Card, Birth Certificate and MyKid for Malaysians, and Passport for non-residents or foreigners, as your primary document.

You may also need to bring secondary supporting documents such as:
A valid passport (if IC is produced as a Primary document), a valid driving license, utility bills (e.g. water/electricity/telephone bills, Quit Rent, Assessment Notice) in the name and address of the customer opening the account, a Letter of employment or your Credit card.
And that's it! Scroll down to the bottom of the page for more details on how to apply now.

Tomei-R.. let me know if u are successful in opening without the LETTER OF EMPLOYMENT... from Malaysia without going to Sg.

thanks so much for this info.

the SGD 10 brokerage is good.

i just put Saving/investment.

I ask the officer what people normally write.. in their forms.

He say they normally write:

For rental collection; to pay for goods; To buy things..

For Subang Jaya branch.. He will send documents every Friday. Cut off time will be Thursday.

you can try MAYBANK SINGAPORE. open from Maybank Malaysia.
min SGD 500.

if using ALLIANCE any idea if there is charges from SINGAPORE?

Eg: if TT SGD 1K.. upon receive in Singapore bank , its still SGD 1K? or there are deductions?

so, far i see ALLIANCE hot rate is the best. but need be sure on charges.

however, to set PIN to the Debit Card .. still need to do in Maybank Singapore.

they only give the temporary pin for withdrawal from atm . thats what they say when i call them.
however hv not test it out withdraw from Malaysia atm yet.

Anything online can ... tranfer funds in , transfer funds out.. online banking stuff is not an issue.

only that i curious call them ask if I can use the DEBIT CARD for shopping... and if i put into MAYBANK singapore atm for withdrawal she say cannot. Need walk into MBB SG to activate pin no.

however can withdraw from MSIA ATM using the pin that was mail to us.
i hv not test this out.

I TT from Alliance Bank to my MAYBANK SG.

RM 10 + SGD 20(agent feee).. then +SGD 10(deduct by MBB SG).

so, i think TT charges from Alliance expensive although give cheaper FOREX.

it works out the same. So TT transfer is very expensive.

Yesterday was in Westgate to open MKE account. prefunded. Nominee account.

1 CDP ACCOUNT.. then can sell from any brokerage. So, no need open so many direct brokerage account.

anyway RAMJADE.. if want to transfer direct shares to NOMINEE the charges is SGD 25 and not SGD 10.70...
(for your information).

I have reset pin in MAYBANK SINGAPORE.

however for those who have receive the pin in envelope.. this pin is valid for all transactions even atm withdrawals etc.

for my own memory convenience I change to my own pin . Using any MBB ATM in Singapore.

oh.. i dunno got this financial advisory selection.

she say can just email/call/sms the assign broker to ask anything...

the thing i not happy with. is, if need to do withdrawal.. from NOMINEE ac to bank account. need to
call/email/sms the assigned broker.

No request online.

Leslie Toh.. however did not meet him.

only 2 places HQ & Westgate.

Westgate MKE. 10 mins done. then DBS upstairs. Maybank across the road.

I wanted to walk into Standard Chart.. but got side tracked with shopping...

for info . my MAYBANK SG items.. i receive all mails space out in 3 days.

however my sister open same time with me.. to date still missing 2 mails.

maybe got lost somewhere.....

I think within few days -1 week? I remembered cimb was the fastest among all banks - DBS V, maybank.

[/quot


i open mine on the 10th March. Transfered the 1k on the same day.
Next day got a call from CIMB SG to verify employment details.

Then he say will send activation letter. However till now not received yet. Will wait till end of month as the guy who call me says appx about 2 weeks if from Malaysia.

no I did not....

after activation...Still have to wait for them to pos you the secure device and the pin before can transfer out $$ from CIMB SG.

already 2 weeks. i am still waiting for the 2 items.

For Malaysian to open account in SG go read earlier pos...

MAYBANK I SAVVY. open from Malaysia.

after that open

CIMB SG..

no need even to walk around....in Singapore.

no need go Singapore. u go read back from page 1.. many here hv successfully open the MBB SG account.

just need make a trip there if u want change ATM PIN to own pin. after u receive the debit card.

But if do not change also never mind. the card can still be use.

no charge. How they charge you? Auto deduct?
