Hi,

Could anyone suggest the best bank for multi currency account?I am currently using RHB bank, but the account only accessible at the registered branch.
Meaning no online banking, need to personally go the branch for tranfers, convert to RM and so on.

If there any bank that provide online banking for MCA?

FYI, the MCA is used fro business purposes, not for FOREX or anything like that

thank you

Use HSBC, do not use CIMB. CIMB do not really have much functions outside of msia, whether you believe or not. SoS: working abroad, using CIMB multi currency accounts.

Yeah but last I heard they ask people to declare proof, verification and whatever nonsense of work before you can open with them. Not that it is really my concern but HSBC after that hidden documents scandal. doh.gif

For MCA in terms of exchange rates to transfer foreign currency to RM account, which bank is better? I have MCA with RHB but the exchange rates seems to be lower than Maybank.

Anyone got experience with Maybank and other banks?
