Most of the people here go for either Maybank iSavvy or CIMB account.

If you are working there you don't need to be in this thread haha.

If you have EP, you can open an account in any banks in SG.

yes good idea too. but got to maintain min amt at least of sgd3k. else fall below fee will be levied on your acc.

I have this acc and converted to posb acc last 2 years ago. thank god. now just maintain sgd500 only.

Is my choice to transfer money. I never rushed any other service than instarem. Used to use moneymatch until realised moneymatch more expensive.

Way cheaper than banks, fast (same day if you transfer in the am), reliable. Amount displayed = amount received. Won't be single sen less. Highly recommend.

Actually Malaysian still can open Fastsaver account at CIMB SG, because I just did it.
If transfer from CIMB MY to CIMB SG, the cost will be much higher compared to Instarem.

3.04 for SGD to MYR in the money exchange yesterday. It was 3.01 for the past weeks.

I think that Hansel and Ramjade posted several ways to park idle SGD money, in previous posts.

I am not sure whether it is still applicable as of now. So, please perform due diligence, before parking your idle SGD money. 

Hansel's suggestion:
- Astrea IV4.35%B280614# Bond (SGX Stock Code: RMRB)
- Astrea V Retail PE Bond
Ramjade's suggestion:
- CIMB Fastsaver Savings Account, 1% for balance above SGD 1000. There's no penalty if money dips below SGD1000. No monthly service charge.
- Citibank maxigain (if you got the moo and able to open account) 2%+
- United Class A bond fund 2-3%
- Parkway 4%
- PIMCO GIS Income Fund Class E SGD Hedged Bond Fund, ISIN: IE00B9HH6X13, 5-7%
Many of us here are using CIMB Fastsaver Savings Account, due to the ease of getting 1% annual interest. It is definitely much better than 0.05 % of annual interest given by DBS, OCBC and other banks in Singapore.
Other method is to park in Singapore Savings Bonds, which is fully backed by the Singapore Government.
- The annual interest is slightly less than 2%.
- You could say that it behaves somewhat similar to the promotional Fixed Deposit offered by Singapore banks, but it only requires minimum investment amount of SGD 500, instead of SGD 10000 required for promotional Fixed Deposit.
- There is SGD 2 non-refundable transaction fee for each application.
- There is a redemption penalty of SGD 2, if you choose to redeem before its 10-year maturity.

Correct me, if I say anything incorrect.  I am just sharing what I have learnt from many experts here.

CIMB sg no more good rate. Who wants SGD, can ask me

For CIMB , changing from RM to SGD, they give better rates than money changer? Even at money changer rates very good already..... most Malaysian banks charge 1% to 2% higher thN money changer ... can you confirm?
