Sa mga magpapa appointment sa NAB to get their ATM cards sa branch, make sure iffollowup nyo sila few days before ng appointment niyo kung available na yung ATM niyo. Ako kasi more than 4weeks before ako mag initial entry nagsend na ko ng email sakanila to set an appointment para nga sa ATM tapos di na ko nagfollow up. Nung pumunta na ko sa bank, dun palang nila irerequest yung ATM ko di ko din nakuha. Buti nalang initial entry ko palang yun, pag big move ko nalang kukunin card ko.
Eto sabi nila sa email

mas ok maglipat secured at safe kesa bibili ka kasi unsure ka kung yung rates na makukuha mo is mas mataas depending sa pagbibilihan mo
saka nagtransfer lang ako nang funds yung bulk lang nung baon ko
bale telex charges 5
then 20 for service charge
so kung may 100 ka sa current rate makukuha mo in aud is 96
not bad na din kung ako tatanungin mo.
after all mas mataas talaga AUD vs SGD for now. what more sa PESO
usually overseas transfer nacecredit within 2-3 business days. by the time na pumasok sa accnt ko yun
may online bank access na ako : )

o one time OTP lang yung pag activate at login then pwede na ako magpadisconnect nang linya since ang purpose lang naman nang internet banking is to view balances no need to require OTP pag naglologin.
naiisip ko lang kasi para sabay sabay na madisconnect pati yung starhub ko hehe

Yes, for OTP lang ang purpose nung mobile number na nilagay sa registration form. Okay lang na idisconnect yun after you use the pin. Every time kasi na maglolog-in ka sa online account mo, ang kailangan nalang ay yung bank account number na binigay sa email and then your password.
@Liolaeus
Tama si @prcand na iSaver yung may interest. Kaya siguro dalawa yung account ay dahil yung NAB Classic Account yung gagamitin for ATM deposit and withdrawal. So bale, I think isang card lang yung ibibigay sayo ng bank: yung sa Classic Account.
And regarding sa pagtransfer ng funds from your bank in the Philippines to NAB Australia, I suggest just do it from your bank here in the Philippines (wire transfer ang tawag), para wala nang hassle and sure kang safe na mattransfer funds mo.
