Hi guys, I just opened my cimb fastsaver account and about to fund the account. Looking through the comments in this forum, it's usually from cimb my to cimb sg. But did anyone tried funding using instarem and to fund minimum (eg. SGD 10) from own cimb account? Would it still recognize as our own fund transfer?

QUOTE(mrbean12345 @ Jun 10 2020, 12:45 PM) Hi all, yesterday just signed up for CIMB fast saver account. And I already linked MY CIMB to SG CIMB. Havent fund it with 1000sgd yet. Hi, I just opened my CIMB SG back in Apr'20. I asked my cousin who's in Singapore to transfer SGD1k to me. When they called for verification, they confirmed that the fund was received; however I need to transfer from my own. So I confirmed with them and just transferred SGD10 from my own MY a/c. And it got activated! just want to ask, can I fund the fast saver account with my friend's SG account? meaning I ask him to transfer 1000sgd to my CIMB fast saver account, then i will pay him ringgit in Malaysia to his account. or must i fund it using my linked CIMB Malaysia account? Also, is this account fully activated already? can i start using it or have to wait someone to call me first ? thanks a lot Just sharing my experience on this. Hope it helps. |

I plan to open ibkr there but currently do not have any investment in SG and i do not work /study there... I told them that I would like to have a foreign account to keep my money for savings purpose, with in view to move there in future. |

QUOTE(jack2 @ Jun 11 2020, 08:47 AM) wow... really work? It worked for me. I clarified with the bank PIC when she called and she said they just need to have me transfer from my own account. Minimum funding is SGD1k but no T&C mentioned that all must be from my own name. Either my interpretation is right or I'm just lucky xD |
