I remember on some thread, someone advised that you can direct TT USD into the US FCY SSA from DBS MCA. Thus, you can skip step 2 and 3. Just TT the USD back to DBS multicurrency account perhaps? Not sure how to do that though.
In fact, marc cheng on this thread, just the last 2 page describe this thing. He checked and it worked.

Believe if you TT USD out of StanChart, they will charge some fee for the TT as well as on the notional transferred. Anyone about to confirm?

Ah well, like the mrt - only less frequent in breakdown! Hopefully will be restored soon. All said and done thankful for one discounted brokerage for retail.

So, I have sorted out how to get the transfer done at a cost effective manner after visiting SCB earlier in the morning and then calling DBS.

USD from DBS to SCB USD FCY SSA
1. Outward TT from DBS to SCB FCY SSA. DBS CSO confirms TT free.
2. SCB will then charge inward TT of SGD 10 equivalent.

USD from USD FCY SSA to DBS
1. Outward TT at 1/8% comms
2. DBS will then charge Inward TT at SGD 10 equivalent.

SCB SSA - don't accept cashier orders, only TTs or transfers to/from SCB savings/current accounts.

To flikmy
Here's your TT fees answer. marc cheng tested. Thank to him.

Not the first time....

[path_of_rainbow]

think today no need to do anything here already....

This is why you can't use scb for quick bucks. The system is down at least 3-4 times a year.
Buy the steady counters which you can sleep on. Whether the system is up or down, you also won't worry.

Woah, never happened to me before and I traded hundreds of times, you sure it's the correct currency you transferred into?
Local one is SSA, don't have the FCY.
Also, scb online trading is down right?
