How to use this acct to transfer in the SGD1000 to activate acct?

Via foreign TT?

RM10 is the least of your worry. You can check money changer website like spectrum forex and see how much Cimb is actually earning from you.

CIMB rate 3.065
Bigpay rate 3.03 .. first time is FOC

Now exploring investment acc in sg
