    @TasBurrfoot thanks sir.... nagtry kasi magfill up ng online application and there is an item that asks me if this will be an individual or joint account. so napaisip ako kaya di ko munta tinuloy. so kung ok lang pala to have it revised later to a joint account eh mag individual muna ako for the meantime. salamat ulet.
    Pag boss si kumander sa haus nyo joint account. Kapag ikaw ang boss, individual account. Hahaha. Joke lang, up to you.



    hahaha, joint account inopen namin, so BOSS pala ako @vhoythoy :) hihi

    this is feasible... as long as you have the wire details of your SG acct.

    How about citibank? Ok ba and accessible citibank sa Oz? Dito kasi sa sg kahit konti lang atm machines nila atleast meron sa lahat halos ng mrt stations :)
    nah... not that plenty!!

    patay tayo diyan if nasa suburbs tayo as walang mga citibank atms.

    you can't go wrong with a big 4; NAB and CBA kami.
    ano po ang big 4 diyan sa Au?
    Para makapag-apply online po ako dito sa SG then activate in Au soon (in God 's will).
