ok. will go try my luck at CIMB bank. so, you transfer from CIMB SG acct to CIMB MY acct. is it instant transfer? then you withdraw at MY ATM? need a separate CIMB MY ATM card? or CIMB SG ATM card will do?

ok guys, i was at cimb branch at orchard yesterday. the staff said they cant open accounts in msia. i asked her to check with her manager and she came back telling me the same thing.

dao, i think there's another cimb branch at raffles place. you may wanna try that branch, may be they are able to open accounts in msia from that branch.

not sure about their atm down time. but heres my experience. it was quite straight forward to open an account w Hong leong public rhb maybank in msia (not sure about now). but hs n scb was a bloody pain.

your next question for me is why open so many bank accounts. lol.

I should think so. can also be done with most, if not, all the other banks too. I believe its called telegraphic transfer.

i think they do not provide any quotes for ringgit at dbs/posb. if you send sgd from a sg bank account to your ringgit msian bank account, the conversion will be done over there.

anyone, pls correct me if im wrong. thanks.
