I will start my job there in the next two weeks. Will try to help out with some of these info

Last time i went there, they mention as long I have IPA (kinda temporary employment pass) and address in Sg, then I can open up.
But, one of my friends mention that we need to have company letter. Though the bank staff never mentioned that to me.

Hi guys,

Any other ways to open up a bank account without telephone bill? I am using prepaid currently.
They are all asking for telephone bill >.<

IC, passport, EP and telephone bill.
Cannot escape telephone bill haha

Just solved this. OCBC can allow using Rental Agreement with Stamp (Pay Stamp Duty).
Recent rule to use telephone bill is harsh/troublesome for a newcomer in Sg.

For me, I opened up an account in OCBC. They accept rental agreement with cert of stamp duty.
POSB die die need to have phone bill which I'm also using prepaid. They say try ask Telcos to provide me a letter the prepaid belongs to me.
Anyhow, u can personally go to the bank branch and ask around, some can open up with company recommendation etc.

Yes, your name and your address. Otherwise, maybe you can get your company letter like recommendation letter?

EP u can use malaysia address, I got my EP before i move to Sg.

You may ask your HR to provide cheque for your salary, anyhow once you have rented a room, you can open a bank account pretty fast.
You don't really need to go to Sg to view the room/house. Its pretty ok to ask the owner to snap more pics for you to see to judge the place.
And the rest is the location that you can research from google map and street. Whether it is accessible to nearby bus stop/mrt and how many stops to your office etc. Even if you stay far, you can still travel all the way using public transport.
