I went to Maybank and open the iSavvy account. Filled up everything except TIN section. Then she said that demand draft is not needed for now. Let the Singapore counterpart to contact me. Is this the right procedure or she's doing it wrong?

Ok, the staff was wrong. They called me and say 2 things are missing. shakehead.gif

1) My demand draft of SGD 500.
2) My local income tax no.

Got both done this morning and they say they will courier the docs over to Singapore today.

I was not asked for demand draft. The staff said they will open the account and request to do so upon request.

I was not asked too initially. But then the subsequently called me that they needed it.

refer here https://www.stashaway.sg/save

  • simple guaranteed - FD
  • simple - what i'm in now
  • simple plus, the one you are aiming for

I know the products but since the rates varies (SA only gives the projected rates, unlike Moomoo Fullerton I know exactly how much the %), wanna find out what's the actual rates for both SA Simple and Simple Plus.
