You only need $1000 to open the account, but they charge you a few bucks ($10?) if you drop below $10k. Applies to all Sing banks as far as I know -- but I bank with UOB because their corporate Internet banking is free, while DBS wants $50/mo.

If you sign up with DBS and want to also pay bills, then yes. Quite a rip-off, isn't it? Go for UOB instead.

You may want to look up more info for UOB, as well as Maybank. Maybank seems to offer quite attractive rates.

OCBC has a corporate account with only a 500 $ deposit and only after six months you pay 15 $ penalty for a balance less than 10K $.
Internet not charged either.
Time will come....

500? woot.. tt's a big catch for small operators & startup.
I think need to put the monthly sub for I-banking aside. If you are trading high volume, what eat into your pocket is the rate
UOB still the best, they offer the best rate
