Thats mean really have to physically travel to SG to do so?
Got others option?   

What about the new Sgp Gov't Securities called the Sgp Savings Bonds (SSB) ? Any experience with that ? Can we get if we bid ?

Ok done with opening.next is to decide what to buy

thanks Hansel. one acc already took me abt 1 1/2 hrs. luckily they allowed me to do so.

i brought along a relative who residing in Sg. then only they would consider my application.

so far so good. I din open the brokerage acc coz time consuming and also SC offers the lowest brokerage fee.

I m looking at the long term investment. maybe in future I will consider abt the brokerage acc. 

Just put half in sling bag and half in luggage. They dont really check. Put a bottle of water in sling to distract their attention.

Usually Malaysia side don't check. It's the Singapore side checking. Also if you bring 20k sgd in 1k note it's only 20 notes. You can just put inside wallet

They used to have 10k sgd note. The highest value note in the whole world at that time. But they discontinued it last year.

do they have $5000 note?

any comment for this??

Both nexona and me knew abt this thread and the many valuable contributions made by forummers...
The problem now is a forumner mentioned abt "not true" and "nonsense" for he said need to adherd to MAS and  Singiass KYC requirements.

Yes. Cimb and Maybank no need singpass. Even DBS also no need singpass. But for DBS need to travel there. Cannot do online.

HSBC SG account is damn good
Opened online too

do you need to have Singpass?
do you need to have work permit too?

No, didn't have both and I never travelled to SG before; but need a valid passport.

Got minimum amount deposit?

$2K SGD or equivalent in other/multiple currencies.

you forgot to tag "him"?
or you purposely left him out?
   

most probably he does not want to find this to be of any use. As to him it is not necessarily true and nonsense too

he will find out... he is very resourceful in this... 

LOL. I am not the only one who thought that he's being super annoying then.

I believes he think he is certain that he knows what is true and not nonsense about it, else he would have not lambasted posting of yours with words like "not necessarily true" and "nonsense".

Maybe things have change but I have seen people still able to open Maybank and CIMB account with no issue.

Then now, since he is quite and silence about it.
I think he may have realised what he previously believed to be ....
True is actually not true
Not nonsenses is actually nonsense
Not necessarily true is actually true
Nonsense is actually not nonsense

Yet his ego of having believed he is always right and he knows more than others could have prevented him to admit that he is wrong. It hurts too much to proven wrong again.

so back to topic, anybody else managed to open hsbc sg account online?
