fyseng, any idea what's the minimum monthly balance required in the hsbc account?
for such a service, i think the requirement is going to be very high..
edit: are you talking about hsbc premier banking? the below average balance is rm200,000 wow! too much for me, maybe peanuts for some!

If not premier banking customer there is charges, else is free. Yes 200k for to be a premier banking customer.

Do you heard about Citibank Global Transfer? You can transfer between Citibank account worldwide with on USD10 charge & the money credited instantly. No charge on receiving end. Unfortunately, Citibank Malaysia are yet to implement this feature. Citibank SG already have this feature.
The great thing about this feature is you do not need to be their Citigold member. Citigold member will get free transfer.
I think citibank in Malaysia still dont have this service yet. Few month ago I ask the relationship manager regarding opening a US bank account and she still blur blur and ask me to open US currency account

. But they can help you to open account in Singapore thru Malaysia branch. Global transfer between US and Malaysia account work for HSBC and is free.
