I believe Stanchart's minimum sum is one dollar, had one of those type of accounts which gives you 2.8% pa compounded monthly, plus, its fully a banking service by the internetOriginally posted by jetta:Too late. I closed my POSB one too. When I was back for a visit, I had a shock when I saw my passbook. Four pages of $10 deductions! Mum and I didn't even realise so the damn back pocketted almost $400 of my money. GRrr!! So angry with them 'cause I've had that account since Primary one. Dammit!
On my last visit back, Mum told me about Maybank's low $200 minimum sum, so you know what I did.

should have. you know the atm machine? if you remove the "cover", it is actually a mini PC.Originally posted by laurence82:electronic stamp?
wonder if UOB's machine would have such sophiscation
hurhur
the guy assured me it might turn out fine
and i am worried for the long line of people before me too
the slot where you insert envelopes in it? once the envelope pass through, it is stamped. so there you go!! evidence that you did indeed deposit something.
and you know the envelopes. they are opened by TWO officers!!! one to open and the other to witness.
don't worry. if your bank is like the bank i work for, you should be alright. i have more than 100% faith in the bank i work for. -

DBS and UOB cash deposit machines dont use envelopes
there is this mini thing which opens up, and you slot your money in
we dont use envelopes -

not sure alsoOriginally posted by jetta:What?!? No envelopes? Then how to track?
its just insert a stash of money neatly
and they count
so the machine will confirm everything like xxx pieces of $50 notes, xxx pieces of $10 notes
tally, confirmed, ta da
by right
by left, when i checked my account, nope, nuthing...so they gonna find it
that guy told me prolly the money got stuck somewhere in the machine and didnt register -

i went back to visit my grandma, she was ok just few months ago, or even last week, can feed herself and walk
last week, she vomitted blood and had to be hospitalised briefly, and my relatives knew the time is almost up, sent her back to her hometown fast
i went back last sunday, my grandma just lied on bed super weak
worse, my grandaunt who was normally fit for her old age, had to be helped when walking, and my granduncle now lying in bed unable to get up
what a terrible time for the whole family -

Have a nice lunch streamie. -
well, there is the 'automation' for ya, coz unlike the two officers check and document stamp, this process is faster, where the machine counts your money immediately and credit into your account, and the chaps who collect the mony just had to bring out the box thats allOriginally posted by littlestream:aiyoh, why like that? then where is the control? all the customers monies all cham poh ah?
i am sure they have something, although i dont know what it is
