Folks,
Some time back I read about the presence of a max limit on transfers in foreign currency (I can't remember if it's for inbound or outbound or both).
When doing a TT transfer of USDs from a foreign bank account to a USD bank account in Malaysia (CB), is there a maximum above which Bank Negara needs to be informed etc.?
According to CB website you need to comply to BNM's Foreign Exchange Administration rules:

EDIT: My query is solely about limits imposed (if any) by BNM, not by commercial banks.
Bro, repatriate money back to malaysia there is no limit. If the amount is big, then your bank will ask you what is the source of fund (eg. export, salary, investment income etc) and they report back to BNM. As long as the money is from legit source, then no problem and no limit
If it is your company, and you export tens of millions RM per year, then you need to make periodical report to them
However, if it is the other way round where you send money out of the country, then there is some requirement to observe depending on the purpose
