@prcand actually di basta staff lang yung nakalagay sa letter kundi branch manager..

sunflower

So teka merong pangalan ng Bank Officer na nakalagay sa mismong welcome letter niyo?

Saakin kasi, sa address eto nakalagay:
NAB Migrant Banking Centre
Level 8 700 Bourke Street, Docklands VIC 3008
Email: [email protected]

Tapos dun sa content mismo, eto lang:

Your local NAB branch is located at:
308-322 Queen Street Brisbane QLD 4000.
And the phone number for this branch is 13 22 65.


So ano ang dapat kong kontakin diyan? Yung email na nakalagay sa taas?

engineer20

@sunflower may nakalagay na name ng bank officer na imimeet for activation sa branch. nagemail ako sa migrant banking dahil nagpalipat ako ng branch for activation at nagreply sila at binigay yung name at contact details ng bagong bank officer na imimeet ko. nagemail ako sa bagong bank officer at nagreply na punta lang sa branch anytime.

sunflower

@engineer20
Oh I see. So dapat pala replyan ko yung welcome email para ibigay nila yung name ng banker, no?

engineer20

@sunflower pwede mong subukan yun. odd lang na walang nakalagay na name sa welcome letter mo.

sunflower

@engineer20
Onga eh, nagtataka rin ako kasi palagi kong nababasa sa forum na meron ngang imemeet na certain banker and napansin kong walang nakaindicate sa welcome letter ko. Anyway, nagemail na ako sa NAB today, sana magreply sila tomorrow hehe. Thank you!

prcand

@engineer20 ohh... branch manager pala un? kaya baka busy? :P weird nga ung sayo @sunflower, kasi by right may specific pangalan nakalagay

SAme tayo ng local NAB branch. Wala din name ng banker pero "named" daw:

"This meeting will be held with your named banker, their details are below:

Capital Office Branch
308-322 Queen Street
Brisbane
QLD 4000"

Baka naman kahit sino dun sa Capital Office Branch pwede.

sunflower

@Liolaeus

Liolaeus

Mukang samin ni @sunflower, sa brisbane branch, wala talagang naka specify na name ng banker. Baka after ipaalam yung arrival saka sabihin. Wait natin reply kay @sunflower hehe. Sa May 6 ako mag email kasi atleast 3 weeks upon arrival to AU daw.

prcand

@Liolaeus @sunflower nagreply na ung bank officer. at least, ni-confirm niya ung meet-up. game na to this friday

sunflower

@prcand
Sige, please do update us para alam namin kung pano hehe. Thanks!


@Liolaeus
Nagreply na sakin ang NAB after two days! So basically, eto ang inemail ko sa kanila:

Dear NAB Migrant Banking Team,

I will be making my move to Brisbane in 6 June 2016. According to my welcome letter, my local NAB Branch is located in this area: 308-322 Queen Street Brisbane QLD 4000

May I request for the name of the banker with whom I will make my appointment with?


Eto yung nireply sakin ng NAB:


Thank you for choosing NAB for all your banking needs and thank you sending your query through to us.

Please be informed the branch that was allocated to you does not require you to make an appointment you may walk in to complete your identification checks between 9am to 3.30pm Monday to Friday

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Best wishes with your move to Australia


Baka mag-email uli ako sa kanila to ask if I'll be able to pick up the card pagpunta ko dun. Malakas ang kutob kong hindi, kasi walang appointment eh. Ang labo talaga! Bakit ang special naman nung case ng sa branch natin? Hehe.

prcand

@sunflower bakit maaga ang brisbane, ung main branch nila sa melbourne, 10am ako pinapunta :-w

sunflower

@prcand
Haha, I guess kanya-kanya talaga sila ng patakaran bawat state. Wala daw pakialamanan! ;p

Liolaeus

@sunflower bakit maaga ang brisbane, ung main branch nila sa melbourne, 10am ako pinapunta :-w

Baka kasi may name yung banker sayo at 10AM sya available makipag meet.

Yung samin naman, bank hours yung sinabi na time. 9AM kahit sinong rep mag assist.

@sunflower, sige mag email din ako pero mag dropby nalang ako dun kahit walang appointment. haha

se29m

Nag worry ako sa appointment na yan haha. Nagemail ako kahapon sa bank branch, received the reply today of the confirmed appointment next month hehe

nikx

Sa NAB adelaide may banker name din. Siya yung hinanap ko nung pumunta ko sa branch. Dalin niyo din yung welcome letter niyo na naka indicate yung account details para mas mabilis. Hiningi kasi sakin yung account number eh wala naman akong naprint buti nalang may internet banking na ko and data kaya inaccess ko nalang online. Pero feeling ko naman dapat kaya na nilang hanapin yun sa system nila

sunflower

@Liolaeus
Nagreply uli sila sa email ko kung makukuha ba yung bank card the same day. Eto sabi nila:

"Please be informed you will be able to collect your documents on the same day that you have been identified positively. Hope this helps."

So ayun, ang kaiba lang sa branch natin ay walang appointment with a certain banker, pero I guess nandun na yung stuff natin and ready for pick-up as soon as we show our passport.


@se29m
Lapit na! Let us know how it goes!


@nikx
Okay, noted! I'll bring my welcome letter na rin kasi hindi ko pa kabisado yung account number hehe.

Yehey!

Kamusta pre departure preparations nyo? Kanina pa lang kami bumili ng maleta. haha bumili na din ako ng mga pang interview attire ko. Sana magka trabaho agad. XD Last day ko na bukas sa work. 29 days countdown to the big move.

C_hiLL

13 days to go. Kamusta na at may mga nag big move na ba sa batch natin?

sunflower

Hi batchmates! Ako naman 33 days to go pa. Wala pa kong preparations na ginagawa hahaha. Pero eto ang mga nasa list ko pag sinipag na ako:

1. Pack and weigh my suitcase.
2. Quadruple check and make copies of important documents.
3. Despedida with friends and family.
4. Find an accommodation.
5. Delete fake programs/videos/songs in laptop, phone, and tablet.

Meron pa ba akong nakalimutan?

Si @Liolaeus ready na umalis!

kittykitkat18

@sunflower apply work online?hehe

sunflower

@kittykitkat18
Hehe yes, thank you! Actually, ongoing naman ang online application ko for work. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed!

kittykitkat18

@sunflower goodluck sis on your new adventure!

prcand

@sunflower natapos ko na formalities sa NAB last friday. and guess what, after all the confirmation from them via email na makukuha ko na ung ATM card ko and all, wala parin LOL. papadala daw nila sa OZ address. or baka sa melbourne lang to (pero weird kasi sa HQ mismo nila ako nagpunta).

sa case ko, 8th floor ung nakasulat sa letter. pero sa 1st floor palang, pwede na mag-register and nasa kabilang booth ung naka-pangalan. pero ung nagentertain sa akin ay ung colleague niya. so actually, ung name na naka-sulat sa welcome letter, "placeholder" name lang un. sila mismo nagtataka bakit naka-sulat daw pangalan nila.

sunflower

@kittykitkat18
Thank you!


@prcand
Nag-big move ka na ba or initial entry lang yan? Ang hassle naman na hindi pa pala makukuha yung ATM on the first visit! So far, sa mga ibang comments dito sa forum, hindi naman na sila pinabalik and nakuha nila agad yung card. So yes, baka possible na sa branch lang na yan eh medyo... inefficient sila? Hehe.

prcand

@sunflower initial entry lang. un nga eh, explicit nila sinabi na makukuha ko na on the same day kasi weeks before ko sila binigyan ng heads-up. and again, corporate headquarters mismo nila ako nagpunta. so weird nga. buti nalang, ung OZ address na ginagamit ko ay super trusted person nakatira. lahat dun ko pinadala, including medicare card.

thegreatiam15

@sunflower

nasa OZ kana? hehe kamusta mo na lang kami sa mga kangaroos!

sunflower

@prcand
Ganun... Naku, buti nalang meron ka nang napakiusapan for the address. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience with NAB!

@thegreatiam15
Di pa, batchmate! Sa June pa ako hehe. Ang alam ko mauuna pang mag-big move si @Liolaeus.
