SG Savings to OZ

hotshot

<blockquote rel="jaero">eto lang sa ngayon ang nakikita kong walang monthly charges - NAB everyday account at citibank everyday account. then gawin nyo open na din ng online saver at the same time, para may interest. ung iba may promo pa na > 5% ang interest for 4 -6 months.

sa westpac naman - pag nagopen kayo ng account online as migrant, waived ang fee for 12 months. after nun, kakaltasan na nila kung di pa din nakapaghulog</blockquote>

ano po yung "online saver"? sa NAB po ba yan? sorry ah...inosente pa ko sa mga bank accounts sa oz. haha

<blockquote rel="jaero">sa NAB iSaver ang tawag, online account lang un na pwede ka magdeposit or magtransfer from your everyday account. wala itong atm / debit card na kasama. optional lang naman ito, pero ung everyday account kasi wala kang kikitain na interest zero talaga, yung online saver mo ang kikita, pero take note na subject to taxes ito, walang patawad hehe

</blockquote>

i see. wala ding monthly charge itong "iSaver" sa NAB?

thanks for the info po pala. 🙂

<blockquote rel="diane16">Ngwork ako sa SG for 2 years and kakamigrate lng nmen ng hubby ko dto sa OZ last Aug 2012. Sa SG pa lng ngopen na kme ng account sa westpac through online banking. Ang kagandahan nito, walang charges ang pg-open ng account and no deposits needed. Mgfifill up ka lng ng forms online then after ilang days, my account ka na sa kanila.</blockquote>

hi diane, nabasa ko sa website ng westpac na kailangan pa ng identity check before makapag-deposit dun sa account. ginawa nyo rin ba muna 'to? balak kase namin na dito sa westpac account ipasok yung CPF e hehe. thanks 🙂

Has anyone tried to open foreign currency account here in SG... then later transfer to australian bank....? Bumababa ang australian dollars to SG dollars ngayon... Last time was around 1.28 now, 1.1655

Ang ginawa po namin as advised by a friend we open citibank account in sg then we also open here in au. No charges for transfer and it's real time transfer. Best option for us.

GOD bless!

meehmooh

@Pau92 ..Paano po na transfer ang money mo from sg to au citibank? As the Au account created while u are still in sg?

@rylynn - oh yeah, we used DBS to transfer money into our CBA and NAB account; if mejo malaki laki yung i-remit mo pwede daw sila magbigay ng better rate so try asking for it.

and yes, DBS charges a fee depending on the amount remitted as well...

rylynn

@TasBurrfoot , Thanks po. DBS na kasi kami dito so either NAB or CBA oopen.

So NAB agent charge $5AUD or depending on amount pa? How about CBA? Ano mas mababa 🙂

Thanks 🙂

think it is all the same... can't remember, very small fee ito eh. ang mahal yung fee deducted ni DBS. just the same carrybels naman.

meron po akong nakita from ANZ site

http://www.anz.com/singapore/en/Personal/deposits/australian-dollar-savings/

nakalagay sa isa sa mga key benefits nya is <i>Option to open a banking account in Australia if you intend to migrate to Australia</i>

hndi ko lng sure if may nakatry na 🙂

meehmooh

@TasBurrfoot .. roughly po how much percent dededuct ni DBS sa total remit mo po? Ask lng din po ako if pwede ma view ang account such as online banking if naga pag open ka na ng account from NAB while still outside Au? Thanks po

1/8 of 1% sa total amount ata... cannot remember; you can check sa dbs website and look for fees.

nope, you don't have access to your online banking yet. they can be able to confirm though how much pera ko if you ask. and ang pinaka importante, this starts to earn interests.

Actually ito din yung iniisip ko na simplest way. My question is, okay ba yung exchange rate?

Has anyone else done this? Pwede makahingi ng feedback and opinion? Thank you!

I thought about this before but I saw that CBA had the highest interest - besides yung sa Citibank, di masyado clearcut yung account opening procedures nila for new migrants unlike sa CBA and NAB.

But definitely, totoo na this should come out as very convenient.
