new bank account

finally got around to doing this.. i must have been thinking of doing this for like 3 yrs...

today, i finally opened the iSAVvy savings account with Maybank. Why Maybank ? Because of the following reasons:

- attractive interest rates for account balance between $5k to $50k of 1.08%. Sounds high enuff for me.
-easy access to ATM & Online banking. For ATM networks, you can withdraw from Maybank, Standard Chartered, HSBC, Citibank & ABN Amro ATM machines at no admin charges involved.
- no paper statement so do tat tiny bit to save earth
- no passbook to mantain
- and when u go overseas & withdraw cash, its $5 per transaction. tat sounds affordable enuff.

all will be done online and if you need over the counter transactions, then a charge of $5-$10 applies. f

for an internet cukoo like me, this is a big step :P i hope i remember my pin, id etc etc.. :D
