so meaning my fren in usa wanna transfer me USD from his account, he just need key in our MCA account number n swift code? but will they or us be charged?
*
sending/outbound and receiving/inbound... both got fees unless waived or absorbed by the banks...

banks may ask for a little bit more info... but yeah the crucial ones are swift code, mca account number and your name...

yeah finger crossed everything goes well then go over and see how is it. i dont think they can do myr over there. only QAR if not mistaken. cos when i ask for expectation is in USD but they offer is in QAR.
*
yeah... really depends on the companies and their expat packages... i dont mean they pay myr over in qatar... some companies can split your expat pay, pay usd in qatar and myr in malaysia... this way you don't have to worry about transferring money from qatar to malaysia...

anyways, good luck and all the best

You set up local HSBC premier and ask your RM to setup HSBc premier for Qatar from here with your employment documentation. And setup EGA for both account.

Then you can get paid USD into Qatar HSBC and transfer it to MY HSBC as MYR without charges. You can also do the DCI to take advantage of fluctuating FX rate by earning short term interest at a selection of FX rates table when converting USD back to MYR.

This is based on my experience with HSBC when I set up my kid banking for UK.
*
since you have it... what is the latest buy/sell USD exchange rate for EGA?

Based on yesterday morning..
USD to MYR the rate is from 4.43 to 4.41

And MYR to USD from 4.3813 to 4.4026.

With DCI, you are given a table with ranges from 4 to 10% with tenure of 1 week up to 3M. It changes by the hours so need to call RM. Minimum RM50k for DCI.

Say you don't hit the FX rate with the committed tenure, you get back your 50k unconvert with the % for the period.

the rates are quite good... if i take mid point 4.42 and 4.39, these are comparable to rhb...

rhb mca is interest bearing, usd currently is 2%... one can park to fd from 1 wk to 12 mths... am doing 3 mths @ 4.25% pa...

thanks again for the info...

The hsbc premier ega also can transfer fund at zero fees between multicurrency acct. I transfer from my ega GBP to my kid ega GBP with no charges and when making foreign payment, the bank charges is also lowered.

Also can do multi currency FD like yours... but no 1 week.. min 1month
*
yup... my 1st reply to ts i said this too and ask him to check ega out...

hsbc has good gbp remittance rates ... sometimes they have promo making it even better...

sounds like ega suits you perfectly... thumbsup.gif
