Azmanshah In ST Forum: I always thought POSB was people's bank but Maybank cares!

$500 deposit to open POSB account is too high

I WANTED to work at a McDonald's restaurant and was told to open an account at POSB. So I went to a branch at Textile Centre and got a shock when I was told that I needed at least $500 to open an account.
When I went to a Maybank branch nearby to ask how much I would need to deposit in order to open an account, I was told the sum was only $10.

I always thought POSB was the people's bank.

I may still open a POSB account for job reasons. In the meantime, I have opened a Maybank account as it allows a blue-collar worker with not enough savings to open an account with only $10.

The POSB bank at Funan will be soon be closing. They have had a branch at Funan for years. Cannot afford the rent?

They have been slowly closing down alot of POSB branches over the years. It is only a matter of time before they get rid of the POSB name.

Yah, noticed that there are fewer POSB branches around. When they close the last POSB, I'll close my old, old account & move on.

No offense to Ms Azmanshah Zailamshah. She is better off keeping that S$10 under her pillow/mattress or in a Milo tin rather than in POSB.
