Opening Malaysian bank account

[MrRacer]

Hi everyone, passport expire how to update?

If you have not expired 1 way is to go to CIMB branch office at Johor - Taman pelangi to update your passport inforrmation.

If you have expired, perhaps try getting the raffles place office in Singapore to see if they can update.

You are referring to CIMB right?
I applied quite a few years back.
If I am not wrong need to activate the card by calling a number stated in the letter which came with the card

ya i mean buy thing from online platform pay in rm.

Hmmm can we open shopee Malaysia account without Malaysia address?

Instead of doing online or in JB, since CIMB SG could help us open an MY account, maybe they could also help us send the passport update to MY as well. Try contacting SG branch to check?

Don't know where you get this idea from, despite this being easily verified when you google "malaysia saving interest rate".

Those with CIMB debit card, do note that you'll have to activate the Card-not-present to use for online activity.
e.g. e-wallet.

have to call in and activate or sms (which didnt work for me on my sg number)..

I was given a number to call in, but the thought of how long the call may take... Was previously in JB when I called them using my MY number for some other matter that I can't recall now, and the whole process took quite a while. Now still thinking how best to call before I cross the border.

is there a $10k daily transfer limit on your malaysia account due to a non-resident account? any idea to remove this limit?

Recently when in MY, I've been using payment via QR Code.

Instead of me scanning the QR, the seller will scan my QR on my phone's app, enters the payment amount & I've to acknowledge for payment to proceed.

I also noticed that Maybank (MY's & SG's) doesn't accept Google Pay ie the payment app where Credit Cards are stored as eWallet for NFC transactions. Not sure of other banks or Apple Pay.

However I can still enrolled Maybank's Card into Grab app.

I got try going sg branch at raffles to try and update MY CIMB.

They were unpleasant with my request, saying their system not link. Now borders open, ask me go in and update PP.

But they still help me fill in a form and zap a copy of my pp and 'try' to submit to MY CIMB side.

Until now, no news from MY CIMB side. So idk if it's successful.

Suggest if can, just go in update on weekdays.

I guess CIMB SG could help us submit the documents to open the MY account only because we opened an SG account first. Best to update PP is to head over to one of their MY branches.

From my experience where my MY CIMB account opened thru CIMB @ SG.
About 1 mth before yr passport expires, they will send you a letter however due to mail handling the letter might reach you a few days later (5-7days, I cant remember)
