We did it online and also transfers money into that account. But we were not able to access the account. For that we have to activate it in person. My advice open an account from UAE, transfer required minimum amount a month before going and once u are they u can activate the account.
Hi Abida, I have a query, did you get your debit card for the new account and how long it took. Thanks,
Hi Catalia, If I may reply I applied for opening an account online at Commonwealth Bank, then one of the reps called in to confirm the details. Once done, you could transfer the required amount (the higher the better) since there is some transaction fee charged, (You could confirm the transaction by calling and verifying)then a mail will be sent to collect the card and other details from the branch on King William Street. Note: Once transaction is made the account will be required to be activated in person and the debit card and othe details will be handed over. So it will be done in person. You could initiate this process 15-30 days prior to your arrival.
Hi Catalia As Shareon said, that is exactly how it happened. Thanks lazydesi.. waiting for when I will be there to stay..
Hi Abida How did you like your trip? I could have missed on some posts so how was your stay and experience? Where did you stay? What did you do? Awaiting a response Shareon
