So you act guailan they refuse to want you as customer I see. Actually CIMB not bad one before they have this casa promotion all along their DIY FD rate not bad one. Only late last year their FD rate all cross 4% with minimum 10K. Now one by one they are slowly maturing for me. Now if can find FD cross 4% not easy to find liao. So instead of shut-off any bank not only CIMB I prefer to be obedient as dunno when they got good lobang.Oh they also asked you ? I thought only me.
I asked them why must send I c still since I used Singpass, and why they no ask others for I c but asked me ?
Then they refused to open account for me
.
Sent my money back , with a little bit of interest ( less than a dollar).
But hor nvm, cos the money that I was intending to put in there, I already had deposited elsewhere ( with a bit higher interest) about a week before.

First I called . CSO said that they will arrange for other means of authentication.wah, u called to ask or email?

I emailed. All I said was that I had registered with Singpass , so they already have my I c . Didn't scold them or anything.
The very next day , they replied to say that they cancelling my account .
Actually it is within bank every right to reject application and/or terminate any business relationship with customer be it account or card or loan etc so just move on which you did I see.

Yah. Actually moved on.... the money went into another bank before they told me that they were cancelling.
Now no more money coming in from maturing fds for the time being.
Waiting for OCBC and BOC maturities. ( I spread out my $$. Don't want to put much in each account)
next 6mth. 49k will give 3.5%pa. the first 1k will give 1.5%pa in total.
need to fill the online form to register
R u new customer or existing customer
https://www.cimb.com.sg/en/personal.../casa-sep22-promo.html#CASAExistingCustomers
Fill up the form to register for promotion
How do I know if I have participated in the promotion? I can’t remember if I have signed up. i thought just by putting in money and you automatically qualify for the promotion. Is there an email or sms to confirm that you are in?

By using singpass, bank only retrieved part of your information, not all. No bank will accept a noncompliant customer.Oh they also asked you ? I thought only me.

Singpass doesn't have all my I c info?
Spot on! KYC is one of the key process to manage ML risk and banks traditionallly checks IC and photo. They have relaxed the process somewhat with online account opening. But CIMB is one of the 2 banks "involved" in the recent ML cases, so not surprised they are more stringent with "suspicious" cases to require photo verification/record. There were cases where other people's NRIC info were used.

Nope CIMB is more for CASA depositors. You should stick with your UOB 1 for the troublesome type of interest savings account.

Weird characterisation of the 2 differnt type of products. Both CIMB and UOB One are CASA (you have access to the funds anytime without lock in).
CIMB during promo period you earn 3.5%. UOB one to earn higher tiered interest you need to bank with then (salary credit + spend 500/month on their credit card)
