If I was to file for bankruptcy would that mean for my bank account that is currently linked to all my billing accounts?

I have no idea with what happened to my small business its dwindling down into somewhat of a hassle to manage and I don’t really have anymore funds to make up for it and I've decided to file for bankruptcy since I don’t see any more benefits that I will have from that small business would this be harder in my part to let go of the business? how sure am I that this would be approved?

    Filing for bankruptcy will give you a fresh start to your business and remove you from all the payment needed from that business of yours but ofcourse possesion and benefits from that small business will be voided will no longer be in your hands instead it may be either sold to some other individual who is willing to pay the debts or completely stopped from existing though that may not always be the case but there is still a better chance of it being sold instead, anyway you will be able to make a fresh start but without the investment money of course, you are just given the ability to avoid paying the debts that come along with the business, filing for bankruptcy doesn't always work out it mainly involves how much money it is in debt with and how big the money that was invested in it

Do you recommend OCBC or UOB for corporate bank accounts?

I established a company in Singapore this April. I'm going to open a corporate bank account right away. For the time being, we mainly pay salaries to employees and receive money from clients. My friend recommended OCBC or UOB bank, but I'm not sure which bank to choose. Which bank do you recommend?

How do I transfer $100,000 from Canada to Singapore?

You should work with your bank, tell them what you want to do and arm yourself with knowledge of current exchange rate. You will probably give you a quote that will be inclusive of all charges. You are free to negotiate with your bank to get favourable terms and price and from there your bank will debit the equivalent amount from your bank account with them. Not all banks have the same cost so feel free to shop around before you make a choice.

May I use the savings of my brother to pay a repossessed item?

If you have someones debit card or credit card that is being used by other persons, you should give an authorization to those people before they use it. Some stores needs a proof of authorization before using it. It is more applicable if the owner of the card is the one to use it even though he or she is a relative or a someone close

How can saving a few dollars a day make you a millionaire?

This is a long term commitment and it is possible. Assuming that you're a normal person that worked at the age of 25 and retires at the age of 60. Saving $10 a day would give you 10x365x40 which totals to S$146,000. Investing your savings on stocks, bonds and fixed deposits would help you increase your savings by 10 folds which would bring you upto over a million dollars.

Can somebody tell me which is better for me, a savings account or a current account?

There is a surplus of banks in Singapore that can provide banking services for a foreign resident. However choosing a banking option will largely depend on your personal assets, exact needs, duration of stay and so on. For everyday financial paraphernalia like receiving salary, paying rent, or cash withdrawal, a current account would be amply. However, though there exist no limit on cash imports or transactions from overseas, you should not deposit large sums in current accounts as only bank deposits of up to 50,000 SGD are covered by Singapore’s deposit insurance scheme. Subsequently, all account deposits made in foreign currency inclusive of offshore accounts are exempted from insurance in any form. On a lighter note, interest rates are low on both current and savings accounts. Irrespective, I would like to advice that before moving to Singapore you should talk to your independent advisor or bank back home.

Pay a fixed fee for continuous travel insurance throughout the year.

Allianz Global Assistance provides decent travel insurance options for consumers and excels in two specific types of coverage which are coverage for travellers going on longer trips and for those traveling with children. Where most companies top out around three months.That I think is an essential feature for college students studying abroad or recent grads taking extended backpacking trips. Now if you’re a frequent business traveller, Allianz also offers four different annual plans, which allow you to pay a fixed fee for continuous travel insurance throughout the year.

I appreciate them for adding the new category for pet boarding

Their coverage for overseas medical expenses, personal accident, travel delay and baggage delay are now slightly above average, which is awesome. Furthermore, as a pet owner I greatly appreciate them adding in the new category for pet boarding. In general, the Tokio Marine’s coverage is really quite comprehensive and they even cover most tourist adventure sports done at a leisure level. This includes bungee jumping and skydiving, which some other insurers don’t cover.
