QUOTE(moosset @ Sep 1 2019, 12:57 PM) I'm trying to apply for CIMB fastsaver online but it says only Singaporeans and Singapore PRs are eligible. How can I open a bank account without being in SG? Actually Malaysian still can open Fastsaver account at CIMB SG, because I just did it. QUOTE(woonsc @ Sep 15 2019, 04:49 PM) I am signing up for CIMB MY link with CIMB SG. Dunno if rates will be better. SG to MY linked, best rates. If transfer from CIMB MY to CIMB SG, the cost will be much higher compared to Instarem. |

QUOTE(kart @ Oct 5 2019, 09:34 AM) For those who use Instarem to convert RM to Singapore Dollar, roughly how long does it take for the money in SGD to be deposited in Singapore savings account? Thank you for your information.  I have done 3 transfers and all completed in the same day. The fastest transaction is transferred at 2.19PM and received at 2.59PM, took about 40 minutes. |

QUOTE(jieGeGe @ Oct 14 2019, 11:16 PM) Yeah Activated. Can login and view. Only can transfer to my CIMB Malaysia. Login can using SMS OTP. But transfer need to use security device. Have you enabled the digital token? You can find the link from CIMB Clicks SG homepage. |

QUOTE(labtec @ Jan 24 2022, 09:01 PM) so looks like the minimum deposit to maintain is USD1000. I just manage to wire transfer, and it's very expansive... cost me RM10 + USD25... I'll have to learn how to use wise to transfer money to my CIMB SG account Hi, may I know how do you plan to transfer out the fund from your CIMB foreign currency saving account in future? I have searched and the only option seems to be using demand draft which is restricted to US and Singapore bank. |

QUOTE(poooky @ Feb 18 2024, 07:08 PM) Did not open 360 as it needs 3k minimum balance. SSA and GSA are given by default on new account creation, but SSA requires 1k min balance waived for first year. Eventually will need to close SSA to open the Monthly Savings Account which only requires SGD500 minimum balance. Question now is whether SSA can be closed online? Or will need to physically mail in / walk into branch. It's SGD 20K minimum balance for SSA if you're non SG resident.  |
