  I'm thinking of opening a new bank account under standard chartered
  I heard the intial deposit has to be 5k or was it 10k?
  
  and the term of agreement state that i've to be at least 21
  suppose im not 21 but i have the $ in my posb to transfer over,will they still procced with the transaction?

  cz its dumb i think,most impt is that the client got the $ isnt it...?
  i'm sure they'll make more $ if they take away the age limit..

  since money is not an issue, go down to bank and ask for their advice.
  
  they will surely do all they can (doesn't mean always can) to earn ur deal of business..
