If I use a BPI (PHP currency) ATM, to withdraw my money, what exchange rate will prevail? BPI's exchange rate?
Saka, does this mean di na pala kelangan magbukas ng bank account sa ANZ/Wespac/etc, bago pumunta dyan? As long as may ATM ka na kahit PHP ang laman.
Thanks.

well kailangan mo pa rin mag open account dito. pahihirapan mo pa sarili mo ang banko mo nasa pinas tapos dito wala ka. LOL baka 2 weeks pa eh wala pa ang pera mo sa philippine bank account mo. hahahaha....
cge subukan mo lang muna ibigay admin kapag nakapag work kana. syempre may fees ang pag send ng money sa philippin bank account mo kasi di naman local bank. ewan ko lang kung anu sasabihin saiyo ng admin kapag nakapag work kana dito. hahaha...

Of course needed na magbukas ng bank account dyan before makapagwork. The question is, before pa makapunta dyan.
Thanks heyits7me_mags. I got the link.

Black market will always give you the best rates (pero may risks), kung ako, I think sa czarina na lang pero pakonti-konti lang ang palit para ma-lessen yung risk na madaya. Dito sa aus, hindi ko alam kung meron black market.
You can always do a comparison, tingnan mu sa website yung forex rates ng banks dito cba/anz/westpac vs. bpi/bdo/czarina/etc.

Nagtanung na ko dati sa ANZ kasi yun ang naisip ko before pero ang sabi hiwalay daw sila firm, hindi ko daw mawiwithdraw ang pera ko dun WTF. Nagulat nga ako, ang understanding ko is branch sila dito lapit pa naman sa office namin.

Ganyan din sa akin meron akong atm/deposit acct sa hsbc toronto,ca pero hindi ko mawithdraw sa hsbc brisbane,au branch. Kelangan mu is to set-up a wire-transfer para makuha mu yung funds mu from one country to another. Pero yung bpi acct ko, nakakawithdraw ako ng funds sa tokyo thru cirrus maestro, weird. Maybe it has something to do with the banking laws here.

ok na siguro yung magdala ka ng ATM from pinas at some dollar. nakabili ako ng AUD sa BDO.
madali lang magopen ng bank account dito.. in less than an hour tapos na.. efficient at hindi kasing arte sa pinas.
so don't worry so much about it
share ko case ko, I opened an account sa NAB online, they gave me my account number pero kelangan ko pa rin magpunta sa specified branch para ma-activate yung account ko and to present yung mga docs. nagfillup pa ako ng form online. hassle diba? eh pwede naman pala walk-in lang. so ang ginawa ko, di ko ginamit yung account from NAB online. nagopen na lang ako ng account sa CBA since yun ang pansin ko na madaming ATM dito. anyway, another reason pa is - banks give higher interest on the first few months. so kung di mo pa naman gagamitin yung account at wala pa laman, then sayang naman yung interest rate diba? interest rate dito sa australia is really high compared sa pinas.. ~5% up ang interest rate.
