i also wanna know since i'm going to open a bank account soon....
mostly will open a POSB/DBS account for conveniences but still considering also OCBC...

DBS/POSB has a similar multiplier program.

Where OCBC gives you 1/3 of the bonus interest (payable on $50K only) for each of the 3 activities... ie. you do one activity, get 1/3 of the bonus interest... DBS/POSB is purely cashflow. If you have 20K flowing through all your POSB accounts each month, you get the entire bonus. Less than that, you get proportionately less.

So, if you do all your banking with the same bank, OCBC.

If you don't do many thing but have one thing that has high cashflow (eg. salary, home loan, credit card etc), DBS/POSB.

But the thing is that the bonus only calculates on $50K. No difference here for OCBC or DBS/POSB. Anything more just earns basic interest.

thanks thanks !!! wow you are right. My company submitted my application on Monday and today they informed me that my pass is approved and so the next thing is to do is just medical check up. Yayyyyyy!!

i am really really really really excited about this Singapore opportunity.  YAAAAAAYYYY 

Now, i will go to Singapore without any pass, do my check up, then get my pass? Do i need to go to the customs to show them my pass after and ask them to clear my 30-day visiting day limit?

so now, it's also time to plan for phone plan and all. Can someone shed some light on which plan is great? I have done some research and it looks like Singtel is the go-to company.  I am looking to get a prepaid plan with about 2gb of internet and just so that i can get a discounted phone, prolly an Iphone. Any suggestion? Maybe if i sign up for a family plan, it will be cheaper? I don't want to spend too much on this though, hopefully below $40/month.

Last time while i was shopping some Singtel staff also was handing out flyers with promotion like $49/month for high speed at home internet.. Is it a normal price range for home internet in Singapore?

Sorry if i asked repeated questions. Just am recently active in this thread so am not fully familiarized with the "etiquette" here.  Thank you in advance!!

newbie question here: Do I need to open a Singapore bank account if I want to work in Singapore? Or I can use Malaysia local bank like Maybank? Thanks in advance

First working week in Singapore. Anyone kind to share how you guys spend the weekend here? All I can do is sit at home and do nothing, very boring leh. Got no idea where to start also.

Stay in a 2-3 bedroom condo, drive a Lexus maybe, 1-2 overseas trips, that's about it with a 130k pay.

am thinking of PLUS! from OCBC, the debit card entitle you 5% at Fair price and as i understand from my colleague it comes with a saving account that does not require a minimum balance. ($500 / 1000) like some other accounts.

anyone can share your thought on this?
