RENTAS via SCB cost RM9, right ?

Yes. RM9 alright.

No, withdraw CASH is the cheapest way
I used to carry more than 100k

Suggested that to other people. All of them were not comfortable carrying such a big pile of cash though.

If it is a cheque-account and you intend to transfer to another bank's fd account, issuing cheque is the cheapest at 15sen and banks will take the current date as the fd starting date.

If I drive an armored Hummer + Vin Diesel-lookalike + The Rock-lookalike ....

I have few questions indirectly to IBG:

-I heard it is difficult to open Citibank even basic savings account. In case we have credit card with them, is it become more easier?
-I have other types of savings account with Maybank, is it possible to open another basic savings account?

Well, what you asked indeed have nothing to do with IBG. Anyway...


It's kind of true. The chance of your application to open a savings account with them is higher provided you are already working and having a credit card with them would be a plus. Basically, you will be asked to sign on a signature card and they will help you to key in all relevant information such as name, address, work place, profession etc. and they shall get back in the next few days to you whether or not your application to open a savings account with them is successful. If it's successful, they will mail the VISA debit card to your correspondence address and you are required to deposit some money into the account asap.


Not too sure about Maybank but it's definitely not a problem with Public Bank and CIMB Bank.

Thank you for your response, open basic savings account with citibank this morning. as usual their officer push for other type of account which requires more deposit :-) and yet they themselves are not aware about the IBG charges, which she told me RM 2 per transaction

Did they give you an answer whether or not your application to open a savings account is rejected or you were asked to wait too ?


As usual, bank employees don't even know their own bank's products

oh my application to open the basic savings account was approved straight away but I bring along my payslip and employment letter which I never done before to open any savings account your advice yesterday has help me a lot. plus i have credit card with them. the visa debit card also I got on the spot

I guess your payslip and employment letter did the trick Last time i was like when they said i must give them my employment details and will only get back to me once they have verified everything. It wasn't like i was applying for their personal loan or credit card then

hi sorry for this noob question guy....wanna ask how to bank in online throught cimb clicks..??in the main page which menu should i choose...the schedule transaction or transfer fund??

What do you mean by "bank in online through CIMBClicks" ? Do you mean you want to transfer money out to another bank through your CIMB Bank account via online banking ?

yes...transfer to another CIMB account..do in need to go the the transfer fund menu?

Yes. Transfer Menu > 3rd party transfer > key-in all required details and amount.

is the 3rd party transfer same with the "To Other CIMB Accounts"?

Yes

ok...thanks a lot..

My personal experience:
1.Interbank Transfer is most expensive with Maybank @ RM2 (Premier Savings ac).
2.MEPs withdrawal at OCBC (from MBB) is RM4.

I thought all interbank withdrawal at MEPs were at RM1. Is it standard for for withdrawal at foreign bank at RM4? What about foreign bank to foreign bank?
