No good. Need to lockup min SGD 500. Lousy exchange rate if you want to bring money back.

CIMB sg. No minimum amount. Good rates to bring money back to Malaysia. If you want pure sg bank, only option is ocbc sg (online). Heard uob can open if you are a priority customer.

You are not transferring millions for the opening of account, just the first SGD1000. Do you really need to calculate that much just for the initial deposit?

I am one of those people. Lol. Last time it was 3.0 only.
Forget sg bank FD. Just open tiger and park your money into their MMF. Tiger MMF basically invest into their FD.

Only sg banks which let Malaysian open account without you needing to step foot there is cimb, maybank and ocbc.

Rest maybe can be done if you are willing to park SGD250-300k for priority banking purpose.

Cimb. Don't bother with Maybank. No need OCBC unless you want to have multicurrency account. I think they have one. But not sure how much is the lockup money.

My cimb only have SGD0.10 inside. Lol.

I use moomoo for my mmf. Tiger only for seeing price of stock and options. DDA from DBS into moomoo. Same options available for tiger.

You can use FAST transfer (sg version of duitnow)

You can only DDA with DBS. No need waste  time and money with Maybank.

Thanks. From support only mentioned DBS.
No need. Use FAST transfer. Good enough. No benefit for DDA or opening Maybank sg.

Have you closed your OCBC SG Statement Savings Account yet? I don't see any option to do so online. From the site's FAQ https://www.ocbc.com/personal-banking/help-...ccounts/general, it seems that the only ways to do so are to either:

1. Physically mail Accounting Closure Form,
2. Walk into a branch to do so

Anyone else have gone through this process? I opened my account around Nov last year so still have some waiver time, but need to start preparing.. lol.

privatequity 360 had a promo going on. S$15 upon successful open

Use moneymatch. Remit on weekday 9am and it'll appear in sg bank by lunchtime

btw, what are the minimum balance required for both your ocbc acct?

It's SGD 20K minimum balance for SSA if you're non SG resident.

u need working pass for malaysians

For SG Statement Savings Acc, everytime i want do instant transfer, i need to add to payee list n wait for 12 hours before i can initiate?

adding payee to sg bank (cimb, ocbc, maybank) really need to wait for cooldown.
different bank have different cooldown time.
its a security feature that you cant bypass.

if you need to transfer money immediately,  you can transfer directly, without adding payee

OCBC - must add payee before transfer

no way to bypass this

cimb and maybank, you can transfer without adding payee
