I have just called up Citibank sg and confirmed Buying TT rate = Cash withdrawal rate = Fund Transfer rate. Indicative rate is 2.581 as at 11.30am today. Free fund transfer(I.e. Global Transfer) from Citibank sg to Citibank Msia account holder. Can anyone pls advise on the actual exchange rate for Citibank today? Saw from cari forum that someone has withdrawn from Citibank Msia with the exchange rate of 2.563 on 10 Aug.

So the rate of 2.56 only for TT, ie. Citibank SG to Citibank MY. My fren tried the cash withdrawal from Citibank ATM Msia, the rate isn't so great compared with UOB

Hi Bro macbookair,

visit all the following websites. They answer your query.

http://www1.uob.com.my/personal/eban.../atm/meps.html
http://www1.uob.com.my/personal/eban...atm/HOUSe.html

http://www1.uob.com.my/personal/usef.../#passfuncoins

reading thru the above, ithink if you withdraw from same bank atm, ie, uob to uob, there is no charges.

I am very much attracted by the good rate offered by Citibank as mentioned in this thread.

I just called up Citibank SG to double check if there is charges incurred for fund transfer (Citi SG to Citi MY), the cust svc officer say there is a fee to pay for funds transfer from Citibank SG to Citibank MY. And the weird thing is they are unable to advise me on the charges for fund transfer and the current exchange rate.

Can anyone confirm if indeed there is a fee to pay for funds transfer or is it free as indicated in this thread.

Thank you Bro IRONMAN123.

So there is no charges for cash withdrawals.

But earlier, I was referring to funds transfer (transfer $ from Citi SG acct to Citi Msia acct), is there any charges.

Hi. During the opening of my Sg CIMB account today, this is what the banker explained.

For amounts of transfer at S$20k or less, Internet transfer is "charged" at 300 pips spread.

For higher amounts, it may be more worthwhile to TT funds over, as the spread is at 100 pips. However, there is a 0.125% service charge (max S$100) plus a service fee of S$30.

Is this what all who have transferred from Sg CIMB to My CIMB experienced?

Thanks for sharing. Wow 2.581 and free transfer, is it for premium account only or for all accounts? The actual TT rate only 2.5404 ? So different from the indicative rate 2.581, if like that no need to go open Citibank account..

 

[Lyc396]

Thanks teanotcoffee09. Should buy u tea

Hi SirusA, he got it from Citibank IB online as he owns sg & Msia accounts.

Citibank TT Bank buy 2.5404366

 

[Lyc396]

Yes, no need to open Citibank Msia account since rate not so good. Furthermore, hard to keep track of so many bank accounts. Maybe money changer is doing own soul searching now and decided to give better rates tomorrow
