You can open a Singapore bank account with OCBC remotely even before you arrive in Singapore.
OCBC offers a Global Savings Account that allows you to make transactions in up to 9 major currencies with no administrative fees. This is a valuable option for foreigners who frequently make international transactions or need to manage money in both their home currency and Singapore dollars.
Eligibility:
to sign up for an OCBC Account from overseas, an individual:
(a) must be at least 18 years old;
(b) must be a valid Passport Holder from either Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia or mainland China; and
(c) must be a new customer to OCBC Singapore
The required documents are straightforward and accessible, which is a major advantage for foreigners who are still in the process of relocating to Singapore and have not obtained an employment or student pass.
