  Based sa experience ko lang. Eto yung sa dad ko. Di siya pinayagan mag open sa NAB. CBA pumayag, tourist visa and passport lang hiningi. Address, email address at mobile number kinuha din. PH mobile number naman binigay niya, tinanggap naman. Yun, nagagamit niya debit card niya pag andito siya. Sure ako CBA puwede, not sure sa other banks.

  Add ko pala, may requirement lang na dapat every month may pumapasok na 2k ata. so what i do is, every month nilalagyan ko, tapos binabalik na lang niya sa akin. kahit after a second, binabalik na niya, wala ng penalty.

  No problem. May account sila na puwedeng walang pumapasok na pera. pero hindi siya transaction account eh. so walang debit card na kasama. hindi naman required na may pumasok na pera every month, pero yun nga, may fee ka pag ganun
