Today i ran into some problems trying to fund my broker account in USA.
The Maybank (over the counter) told me that i cant send funds overseas for foreign investment purpose without Bank negara approval. They said i need necessary documents, such as S&P and Stamped documents such as offer letter from the foreign investment entity.

I just want to wire 2500 USD from my foreign currency account to my USA broker account. But they wont allow.

I looked at Bank negara FAQ, http://www.bnm.gov.my/microsites/fxadmin/n...1_Residents.pdf
no mention of restriction

Anyone encounter this before?

Wow... such more paperwork for just $2500 ??

Funny, it not even million or tens of thousands, perhaps now BNM is too zealous or nervous, and they're putting in all sorts of bureaucracy to discourage money transfer out from the country.

It must be after that Money-Laundering fiasco by you-know-who.    brows.gif

Just tell them it is "donation"...  biggrin.gif

Oh ya! i should have said it is a donation!

Hi Sifus,

When i tried transferring some funds on Maybank2u, it is asking for "Fed Wire" number.
Is this the same as ABA/Routing number?

I also have the SWIFTCODE of the bank, but no place to key it in on maybank2u transfer page.

Google was useless here.

so.. Fed wire number?

I managed to successfully transfer from maybank online. The option is there, international TT.
Just need to declare in a dropdown lise: what is the purpose for transfer.
Anything under rm50k is ok i think.
