OCBC Bank Account for Foreigners

Sign up using my referral code “VHQ8FDOS” and both of us will receive a welcome gift of S$15 when you deposit S$1000 within 30 days of account opening, using a bank account in your own name.

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.

Terms and conditions HERE

To open a Singapore bank account with OCBC, you can follow these steps:

  1. Download the OCBC Digital app
  2. Tap on “Sign up” and select “Foreigner with e-passport.”
  3. Prepare your e-passport and ID card for identity verification.

💳 Credit cards change their T&Cs every so often and it is difficult to stay updated. That’s why I created a Telegram Broadcast where you can receive timely bite-sized updates to get the most out of your spending.

💡 We believe in always paying our credit card bills on time and in full. It is only by doing that, can we fully maximise our credit card benefits.
