How to Open a POSB Account Online

If you are looking for a simple and convenient way to open a bank account in Singapore, you might want to consider POSB. POSB is one of the oldest and most popular banks in Singapore, offering a range of savings accounts, debit cards, credit cards, loans and other financial services.

One of the advantages of POSB is that you can open an account online using your mobile phone or computer, without having to visit a branch or submit any physical documents. This can save you time and hassle, especially if you are new to Singapore or busy with work or other commitments.

In this blog post, we will guide you through the steps of opening a POSB account online using two methods: with Singpass or without Singpass. Singpass is a secure digital identity that allows you to access various government and private sector services online. If you have Singpass, you can open a POSB account instantly and enjoy more benefits. If you don't have Singpass, you can still open a POSB account online by filling up your details manually and uploading the necessary supporting documents.
