Anyway, I think mas praktikal kung US Dollar na lang bitbitin mo dun...sobrang taga yung rates ng Aussie Dollar pag sa Pinas mo kunin...hindi kasi siya primary currency for exchange sa atin...we're more on HKD, SGD, Yen at Riyals kaya mas mahal sa atin ang palitan ng AUD hehe

I do not prefer big bank sa pinas kasi mas mababa ang palit nila at kailangan mo pa yata na may account sa kanila
1. Go to money changer sa pinas para may AUD ka na once you landed sa Australia.
- kaso hindi sila madalas na may avialable na AUD. At hindi mo alam kung gnao kalaki ang avialable AUD nila. Pero mas mataas sila mag palit compare sa big bank sa pinas.
2. Open a Citibank USD account sa pinas.
- Last time I check (few years ago hehehe0, you can withdraw money from ANY CITIBANK ATM machine around the world WITHOUT extra charges/fees, so exchnge rate lang ang (USD -> AUD ) and issipin mo on that day na mag withdraw ka.
- tested when going to US. Withdraw the USD bank account open in pinas sa CItibank ATM sa US - no charges. Makuha o same USD amount kung ano meron sa pinas.
Since sa Citibank AUStralia mo withdraw, exchange rate lang ang issue. Still no extra charge for transaction fees or withdraw fees.
Consult Citibank para siguroado at kung ganon parin ang systema nala
3. I bring USD as pocket money (make sure hindi over 10kAUD yung total na dala mo na cash)
- else kailangan mo declare pag over 10k AUD ang dala mo na cash.
In my experience, ginawa ko lahat.
- nag papalit na ko sa money changer para may enough AUD ako when I landed in AUS for expected expenes in Australia.
- As backup, nag open din ako ng CItibank USD account. Tpos I bring hte ATM card. Pra I cna withdraw from CItibank ATM machine dio sa Austrlaia if kailangan ko spare chas.
- Nagdala din ako ng USD as pocket money in case na kailangan ko ng spare na cash at wala kao mahanap na Citibank ATM machine.

Payment can be made:
- pwedeng credit card payment sa account ng real estate agent
- direct cash depsit sa account nung realestate agent if di pwede credit card payment
- kung shared accomodation (pwedeng cash ang bayad)
Kung bagong dating ka, syempre wala ka pa credit card sa Australia hehehe...
Pwede mo naman gamitin credit card mo sa pinas kaso may fees involved.
Kung wala ka pa credit card, cash nalang cguro.
Estimate mo nlang kugn gano kalaki ipapapalit mo to AUD sa pinas.
