Can I borrow money from the bank to start an investment?

I am a foreigner in this country. I want to borrow money to start a business here. In my country, I am an entrepreneur. I already have a plan for my business but I do not have enough money to start here, because I did not expect the work rates and the lifestyle here. To whom can I borrow or lend money from?

    Here in Singapore, there are many banks that you can borrow or lend money from. You can get help from other people whos businesses are to loan money and you can start your business with that. Singapore is easy to cope with. You can manage to get along with it. It is more applicable to have a lot of connections to be able to know the business world there.

Close to 6.5% rebates on dining

I have held this card for quite a long time and one thing I like about the card is the fact that it is used for CapitaLand malls and they are almost everywhere. So I enjoy dining taking advantage of the 10x rewards merchants to accumulate the points faster. Imagine getting close to 6.5% rebates on dining. Not to forget their sign up bonus of $60 rebates in vouchers when you spend $1,500. That's a 4% rebate excluding the points you will earn which will convert into vouchers too.

40,000 Membership Rewards points to refer a friends to the card

I like the idea that I can receive 40,000 Membership Rewards points when I get to successfully refer any of my friends to the card. Even more so as my friends can also receive 40,000 Membership Rewards points upon spend of S$5,000 in the first 3 months of their Card Membership. I think that is pretty much a win-win situation.

In my opinion, this card is one of the best cards in the market especially as there are no expiry date to miles earned and an amazing 2 VIP airport lounge access. I love the fact that the card can be used for major big ticket items and to clock mileage. Redemption can be done easily without hassle and customer service staff are very helpful

Also the OCBC Reward is a $10 rebate for 3600 points which I think is fare.
