https://www.rhbgroup.com/treasury-rates/mul...card/index.html if you already paid for the RM20 annual debit card, can look at Multi Currency Account/-i Debit Card Special Counter Rate*

btw, use sunway money for IBKR (via sg banks). cheaper

already given hint. Open Sunway money account and send online to sg

Can I use the account to receive in USD?

My salary is received via usd then auto convert to ringgit now with maybank savings account.

If I use HSBC, would it retend as USD?

should receive salary with RHB MCA. Won't be auto converted

Actually, if you receive salary in USD, why not ask them to send to your Wise acct? Straightaway deposit into IBKR. Unless your employers are not based in USA

rx330 ok you might be right. /media/Assets/Corporate-Website/Document/Multi-Currency-Docs/multi-currency-account-faq.pdf

RHB bank might be that lousy. i'm trying to find TnC under personal. common sense might be uncommon in malaysia

jaapers don't know how good your comprehension skills are, or just trolling

if i send SGD8000 via wise, i have to pay RM26,573.61. if i send SGD8000 via sunway money, i have to pay RM26,489.52

which is more value for money?

can send SGD to IBKR, convert to USD, and buy BIL etf, 4.55%p.a.
QUOTE(TOS2 @ Feb 10 2025, 04:08 PM)
I am looking at a 4.55% p.a. IRR with this latest 30% WHT refund, pretty close to the average short-term USD rate for 2024.
