UK & Singapore banking.
Hi Singapore Expert,
Hope you all well. Just wonder if anyone can share their experience of banking between the UK and Singapore.
Do I need to open an account before arrive in Singapore? We went to HSBC 2 days ago they told us it'll take up to 6 week to open an account in Singapore and charge us £200 for join account.
We do hope to have an international account so that we can transfer fund between 2 countries without paying massive transfer fees.
Anyone have any experience in this field?
Thanks in advanced.
