No, Elea,... you can't get those interbank rates from the money-changer, those rates are for transactions between banks. What we do is to try and get rates as close to those rates as possible, for KL.

The closer you wish to buy from a money-changer, the more you have to offer him. But thhis too,... depends on whether the money cjanger has stocks or not, and whether he is willing to let go of his Sing Dollars or not,... it's a money game,...

i found surprisingly it may be cheaper to change in SG. Happened to me a few times.
And of course that was before the demise of the MYR. 

Problem is bringing all the Ringgits across! 

Breakin the law ler

Then i would suggest u go and open an acc in Sg. Welcome to Sg market.

As for Msia trade, i havent had open a trade acc. What trade acc is easy to use?

Do u need a cimb savings acc then? I had close my savings.

Yeah i used to have bjtoto using osk but troublesome with their online acc.so i decided to close.

Thanks

Stumble upon this website. Anyone tried opening a MBB SG ac from M'sia?

In 2013 , i walk into MAYBANK SINGAPORE.. they require Working Permit. Thats why I ended up with DBS BANK.

To open a Standard Chartered Singapore eSavers Account and a Trading Account :-

1) Call Standard Chartered Singapore CS line at : 65-67477000.

2) In case the CS personnel refers you to their Online Equities Team, the number is : 65-62425333.

3) Ask them what documents you needed to bring along to open your accounts. Prepare those documents. Plan your trip down to Singapore.

4) Buy air-tickets - AirAsia or Tiger Airways. Fly down on the set day.

5) From Changi Airport, take the MRT to Raffles Place Station. Need to change train once at Tanah Merah Station.

6) You can walk from Raffles Place Station to the Standard Chartered Main Outlet at 1 Battery Road.

Done !!!

The cheapest way to do is in the above,... I don't get anything by doing this,.. perhaps good karma only,...

Yeah,... WJ,.. good point, since you're already there, walk over to Maybank too,... just try-lar,... no harm since you're already in SG. Makan at The Fullerton too,...

Lunch is stylish, behave like an English lord, the 'Singh' will treat you well,.....

Hmm,... I think the bank is opened on Saturday morning, not sure,... ask them when you call them,...

Down 3cent  -3.590% now 

It's USD 0.83, bro,... this is the ONLY USD REIT that I know of, which does not impose a 30% withholding tax onto dividends to be paid out. But, must fill-in the W8-BEN Form properly ! Good luck, bro,....

For the best money changer rate islandwide you can refer to below link, it make so much convenient for reference.

Frankly, bro,,.... I've been watching Aussie counters lately,... ,.... but I peep at Frasers Centrepoint Trust at times,... Sorry !

I'm going into the Aussie assets,... I see the signs already,... the same signs I saw many years ago when I started aggresively into the SGX. Must open accounts, etc, etc,... same process,...

AND OVER TO THE ASX ! 

I'm still learning the ropes, bro,.. more restrictions here than Singapore,... I've had bank accounts here for 10 years plus, earned quite some amount of FDs from those banks, and now, ready to put my AUDs into action because bank interest rates are not good anymore,....

To start-off at your end, try to invest into some counters with Stanchart Sgp, if you have an account with them,... the brokerage is cheap. Get a 'feel', bro,...Earn the dividends,.. KNOW WHAT'S FRANKED AND UNFRANKED dividends,....

I will start a new thread,...

Not good to go with KE for the ASX then ! Then I would think they don't have an online platform for us to buy and sell ASX counters, right ? Need to call their dealers ?

Hello a newbie here, u guys trade via local broker or SG broker?
Thanks !!!
