lol i just opened new acct on Monday at Macdonald's hse branch, the guy who opened my acct didnt say anything. but maybe becuase i was already v black face. i went in the morning to open but didnt bring NRIC (thought drivers license is good enough) but the guy say cannot, so i had to go home n take IC and go back to the branch so was jin fed up already.
The KYC requirement is really strict. Don’t think any bank allow opening of account with driver licence. Passport for foreigners allowed but need to be supplemented by proof of mailing address.
