QUOTE(walkman660 @ Feb 1 2017, 12:00 AM) then i guess should be okay , i also attached $500 demand draft to them u have better chance, cuz i ***gues*** u submitted before they increase it? i can only hope/pray so, otherwise very troublesome... like the Chinese saying, two heads also don't reach shore. i can't imagine the hassle and time require to have them return me the cheque and convert it back to MYR, plus possible losses due to exchange rate. at the same time, i don't feel like going to open anymore if it requires $S5k initial deposit, the bank's exchange rate is blood sucking, i just stick with my other SG bank acc without debit card. will post the status here once i get it.

QUOTE(kart @ Feb 1 2017, 10:29 AM) Really? The website ( http://info.maybank2u.com.sg/personal/depo...gs-account.aspx) did not mention about higher initial deposit of SGD 5000. Even if we can withdraw SGD 4500 after account opening, we still need to prepare SGD 4500 of money, probably by exchanging RM to SGD at bank's poor exchange rate. Man, not all of us do have SGD 5000 ready in cash. You can argue that Maybank Singapore officers have not briefed Maybank Malaysia officers in KL Main Branch, about the higher initial deposit of SGD 5000. Thus, Maybank Singapore should allow you to open iSavvy saving account, as per the previous rule of the initial deposit of SGD 500, in this transitional period. ya, will see how it goes first... S$ 5k is updated here under "how do I apply", http://www.maybank2u.com.my/en/personal/de...ings/savvy.page

QUOTE(kart @ Mar 2 2017, 09:50 PM) For some Malaysian debit cards, we need to key in temporary PIN number in ATM, and change the PIN number of debit card to our own preferred PIN number. But, I am unsure whether it is applicable for Maybank Singapore debit card or not. If we can use Maybank Singapore debit card to withdraw cash in any Maybank Malaysia ATM, can we use Maybank Malaysia ATM to set a new PIN number for our Maybank Singapore debit card?  no, it's just like you using MBB MY debit in CIMB MY, you can withdraw cash, but not change the PIN. elea88 CS gave you wrong info. that so called temp PIN can be used at any ATM worldwide with Cirrus/Maestro logo.

for those don't want to wait the PIN mailer for Maybank SG online registration, there is an alternative if you got all other docs and debit card. 1. Active debit card 2. register online banking @ www.maybank2u.com.sg, select debit card and pin. 3. use the debit card number and the debit card pin mailer 4. enjoy!

QUOTE(lightonokira @ Aug 3 2021, 09:42 PM) But if I do international freelance work and get paid to this "SG" account, do I get taxed here or in SG? it is just a mean to accept payment, no changes on your income tax filling. for example, it doesn't matter you accept the payment in cash, paypal, crypto, SG, MY etc etc. This post has been edited by lamode: Aug 3 2021, 09:48 PM
