NotWhatItWasnt Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hi Guys, I already have an ordinary deposit account - very low interst - and would like to open a savings account so to get a higher rate of interest. I was told today at TMB that I would need a one year visa in order to do this. Does anyone know of another bank where I could do this without the visa? Or an account that I could open that would bring me more interest, even if this means tieing the money up for a year or so? I am leaving on Saturday and wont be back until next September. Thanks for looking at my post. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
