The minimum amount for transfers is 0.01 (of the receiving currency). The maximum amount is limited to the available balance on your account including credit.
No. The account transfer will be rejected if you do not have sufficient available balance, assuming there is no credit available as well.
For transfers that are in the same currency or performed within the same booking centers (such as Hong Kong to Hong Kong or Singapore to Singapore), the account transfer is executed immediately.
For transfers that are in FX or performed across booking centers (such as Hong Kong to Singapore or vice versa), they are executed as a SWIFT payment. This means that payments made before the currency cutoff time are executed on the same day. Otherwise, the transfer will be executed on the next business day.
