1) Citibank SG will have less fees than HSBC for most usage IMO. I left HSBC when I moved here and picked Citi (along with a local bank)chanthachhim wrote:Moving to Singapore. Need to know which bank would be better:
CitiBank Gold or
HSBC Premier
1. Less fees
2. Broad usage of ATMs
3. Intl wire transfer
4. Access to money
Regarding point 2, speaking in Singapore context, Citibank surely has more ATMs than HSBC. Almost every MRT has a Citibank ATM, the same cant be said about HSBCzzm9980 wrote:1) Citibank SG will have less fees than HSBC for most usage IMO.

2) HSBC probably has more ATMs through-out Asia and Europe. Citi has quite a few also, but less overall than HSBC. The opposite is true in North America.
3) They both transfer. You can transfer between two Citi account instantly and in many cases, for no fees. You cannot do this with HSBC unless you have HSBC Premier. And if you have Premier (and the requisite six-figure deposit sitting in a local bank), do you really need to transfer money around that much?
4) I don't understand what this means. Neither bank is going to tell you "NO! you can't have your money"?
Like SMS said, just do searches for either bank name.
Citibank, ANZ, HSBC, Maybank, SBI Singapore and Standard Chartered all share an ATM network in Singapore. You can use any of them interchangeably.Callput wrote:

I have an SCB account and ATM card but never really used it because no SCB atm near my house or office. But there is a Citibank ATM in my office, so now I have an option. Thanks for the info.
Passport and your employment pass or in-prinicple approval letter.chanthachhim wrote:So probably will look into a Citibank acct upon my arrival in Singapore. Thanks for your input.
What documents do they need in order to open an account in Singapore. Will just my passport suffice?
