Yes, you are correct. No deposit is required when opening the account. Only deposit $ after acc is opened.

But you need to maintain a (average) balance of SGD 5k, else they will charge SGD2 per month (Translates to ~ RM 5 a month).

For a country well known for their financial instruments, this rule is kinda dumb..

It costs $24sgd a year to keep the account, that 5k invested into stock market will give you returns capable of covering this cost.. Why park the cash there? Better to reinvest it.
