But those like posb have charges.
Their exchg rate definitely not as gd as CIMB...confirmed n chopped!
...IF u hv CIMB MY account as well even more jolly gd...as u can txfr fr CIMB SG to CIMB MY account with exchg rate that will put SG money changers to shame 
...confirmed & chopped as well! Go n chk out - dun trust me Go & open up CIMB savings account & request for overseas card activation as well at one go. But i remember i din hv to request n my atm card works on CIMB MY atm's.
Last few years most banks started to deactivate credit cards and ATM for overseas usage by default due to fraud cases. You can ask for temp activation stating actual dates of travel so that no need to call to deactivate when you return. Same for credit card.
Sounds good, going to make inquiry with CIMB. (This bank~~ Najib's brother opens one, right?)
I ever withdrew RM3k from the Maybank ATM at Genting using my POSBank card, the service charge and exchange rate was like S$60-70.
P/S: Going up this Sunday
Just go open an account at CIMB SG n see the difference. Prior to using cimb I nvr knew bank's currency exchg rate for RM can be so close to money changer at SG.

How is CIMB's rate compared to Maybank? And also any difference in the exchange rate for ATM inside and out of the Casino?
Asking because I find that using my SG Maybank ATM card to withdraw RM inside Genting's ATM, although there is no charges the rate seemed not too good as compared to just change cash with money changer in SG.
Had been quite a few mths since i last made comparison but based on previous experience it's pretty significant savings if u opt for CIMB SG card. Having said tat - it will still not be as much as txfr fr yr CIMB SG account to yr CIMB MY account...(and withdraw using yr CIMB MY card) recently it's always beating the best money changer rate in SG.
No differences between inside vs outside casino ATM's.
What is the requirements to open cimb account ? Need to put how much ? I saw raffles place got cimb.
Oversea withdrawal using sg atm per transaction charge $5 and give u damn lousy rate ,let's say money changer3.0 ,u only get ur 1k sg can withdraw rm 2900 or less, the bank money changer outside skycasino also suck one , rate only 2.9 or 2.8x when actual is 3.00.Sounds good, going to make inquiry with CIMB.

Rate follows FX Board rate with a small spread. Definitely not better than what our local money changer is offering but pretty close.
I often bring SGD to change for the convenience. Rather bring SGD 1k notes rather than a bulky stack of Ringgit in 50/100 denomination.
Win money change back before they encash. Loose money either withdraw from ATM using my Malaysia ATM card or let them encash the SGD upon 1 week.
Cimb SG savings account opening - probably couple of hundreds i can't remember exactly. Cimb MY probably couple of hundreds RM. The cimb SG savings account has no fall-below amount - meaning they dun charge u for having less than a set limit like any other SG banks. Even if yr account has ZERO $$ it's oso allowed n no fall-below charges
Transfer from CIMB SG (SGD $) to CIMB MY (RM):
Date: 16th Oct'18
Time: 10.15 AM
Rate (buy RM): 3.0165
You can chk out which local SG money changer has a better rate than this.

Using Maybank card, I feel it is about 1 to 2 percent lower then SG money changer.
Good thing it wasn't like DBS charges so much.
Definitely not in SG la...in Malaysia I guess no problem bah...just need yr passport, RM & local address?
..Perhaps Bro - youhsueh can advise?

Me not in a hurry to open account for this trip and also very lazy to go Orchard... I have not step on Orchard walkways for more than a decade!
me living like a mountain tortoise, everyday the same coffee shop, same ntuc, same singapore pools outlet that never let me strike a single prize and RWS. If go genting 3d 2n , so should fight in first night or 2nd night ? If fight 1st night look like very high risk , if 1st night lose clean clean then 2nd day dont know how , pocket no money stay in room watch tv or go casino see ppl play to past time? But if 1st night no fight then dont know what to do , 2nd day mor afternoon do what if no fight casino.
