Try POSB. They have quite good services. Internet banking also very convenient. Yesterday I transferred some money Fr my POSB to my Malaysian bank account with no fees and fund reach within the same day.

Which bank?

How's the coffee? Nice?

No. They don’t do retail banking in US. Only commercial banking in US And Europe.

As a priority, you already save on the commission and discounted rate. Even better if you book a deal through your RM.
MCO period don’t serve anymore 😂

Otherwise their coffee seems pretty decent

Thats the perks@work, great if your employer is using HSBC to credit your salary.

Perhaps one benefit worth going for - SCB premier banking customers can get up to RM0, and 0.00% brokerage fees for trading on Smart Stocks:

I got asked a question by another forum user via private message, but I thought it was a useful question - and since I didn't have a direct answer for him, I'd share my answer and invite others to chip in:

Here's my answer:

Hi, sorry I'm not priority status with SCB here in Singapore (where I'm based). I have priority/premier/privilege status with:

1. OCBC (Premier Dividend Private) - it's a step up from Premier, but a step down from full Private banking - that's only in Singapore

2. HSBC (you choose your country to base the minimum AUM, and the minimum AUM varies per country. In Singapore, it's SGD250,000 for in Australia, it's only AUD200,000 - so I transferred from being domiciled in Singapore, to being domiciled in Australia). However, for HSBC, in order for you to be domiciled somewhere, you need to demonstrate reasons. Eg. studies in the UK (domicile in UK). In our case, we are PRs of Australia, so they accepted the transfer, although we are still based and work in Singapore

I'm normal status with Citibank, SCB

I bank privately with UOB, Maybank and DBS

I have priority/premier/privilege status with:

1. OCBC (Premier Dividend Private) - it's a step up from Premier, but a step down from full Private banking - that's only in Singapore, and AFAIK, OBCB Wing Hang in HK does not have any automatic tie up access with OCBC in Singapore.

2. HSBC (you choose your country to base the minimum AUM, and the minimum AUM varies per country. In Singapore, it's SGD250,000 for in Australia, it's only AUD200,000 - so I transferred from being domiciled in Singapore, to being domiciled in Australia). However, for HSBC, in order for you to be domiciled somewhere, you need to demonstrate reasons. Eg. studies in the UK (thus you can be domiciled in UK). In our case, we are PRs of Australia, so they accepted the transfer of primary Premier account to Australia, although we are still based and work in Singapore.

I'm normal status with Citibank, SCB - hence I don't know if you can open an SCB account in HK from Malaysia, and whether you'll need to maintain the minimum required AUM separately, or does SCB do it like how HSBC does.

If anyone has the answer to this, I'm sure the forum user would be grateful.

I got answer from SCB Malaysia. Your priority does not extend beyond the country your account is in.
If you have priority with SCB Malaysia, they can help you open SCB account. But it must be priority with SCB Singapore as well.

How true. I don't know. Maybe they are bluffing me also.

Anyway I will never use any priority banking as I see no reason to park money with the banks.

Not every suggestion is a loss making venture la, to be fair… but I would stay clear of ILP and insurances and unit trusts if possible.

Bond funds, maybe to get a foot in if you can’t afford a whole bond.

Joining priority banking != must follow their advice.

My RM gave up persuading me

There are also free ways to enjoy premier/priority banking without commitment (i.e. i technically skipped the 200K AUM requirement)
