QUOTE(Ramjade @ Jul 21 2017, 07:20 PM) Cimb have offer now. If you can find cheaper option than them, they refund you the difference. Thanks. Too bad I do not have DBS.DBS is the chepaest. If you have transferwise, it could be cheaper than DBS. I don't know about MY > SG. If you have guts, use money changer remittance service. Definitely cheaper than banks. |

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Mar 8 2017, 04:38 PM) Er, bitcoin transaction takes few minutes. I have tested previously transfer bitcoin to bitcoin. I think within 30 minutes can settle. Hi Ramjade,It depends on the USD. If USD tank, your bitcoin maybe worth a lot all of a sudden. We were talking about how AIYH lost SGD30 via TT when he TT down SGD560 alone. So I recommend few options (i) transfer from same bank (in this case Maybank MY to Maybank SG. This should only cost RM10.60 + SGD10 -> provided that there's no agent fees.) (ii) transfer from other banks (in this case any banks to Cimb SG as there's no incoming fees. for Cimb SG Charges should be RM10.60 + SGD20 (if there are agent fees) ) (iii) transfer using same bank (in this case Cimb MY to Cimb SG. Charges should be only RM10.60 provided that there are no agent fees) (iv) transfer using money changer (get cheaper rates to agent fees) but not sure safe or not. (v) transfer using bitcoins (to overcome all fees) All of them are not tested. Will test them out one by one and see once I get my Maybank SG account. I am trying to find the cheapest way to transfer from Malaysia to Singapore. I have both Maybank SG and CIMB SG. I have tried option (i) above and it is correct that the charges are RM10.60 + SGD10.00 (MBB MY to MBB SG). Have you tried from: 1) Maybank MY to CIMB SG 2) CIMB MY to CIMB SG Can you share the charges? Thanks alot! |

QUOTE(Ramjade @ Nov 22 2017, 02:47 PM) I rather have a fuller pocket than a lighter pocket. I will use who give me best rate and lowest fee. So if one day bank become cheaper than moneymatch, I will use banks. Whoever can give me better deal will get me as their customer. Ok, that clears it up. Whichever gives the cheapest transactional cost wins. Sounded like you had something against banks earlier. |

QUOTE(Bigtim @ Nov 25 2017, 01:21 PM) Thank you! Have you tried it yourself?I found on CIMB SG website that it is free for transfers from CIMB SG to CIMB MY. However, CIMB MY website is silent for transfers from CIMB MY to CIMB SG. Yet to try it myself. This post has been edited by wizardofoz: Nov 25 2017, 02:58 PM |
