On a similar note, CITI Bank offers a credit card that does not charge any Foreign Transaction Fees.

For a normal HSBC account (not Premier) the minimum monthly balance is PHP 100 k BPI BDO Metro much easier.

However you can obtain Premier in one country and get it in all other countries as well.

ME: You are probably right. I opened mine several years ago, online was probably available. I just followed the steps given to me in PM here at the time, did it all by mailing the multi-page application. Have linked that account to my regular bank account for xfers. Works beautifully. While BDO is in many places, the Schwab card works anywhere the Visa symbol is displayed, no need to find any given bank's machine.

So I went to the website and opened a brokerage account for her. I think I only transfered $1 (might have been $500 that she would use during her trip. Can't remember) from her local bank. When that was approved I went online and opened the investor checking account. I linked it to her local bank account. They sent like 1 cent and 2 cents between the accounts to verify them, then they automatically sent the ATM card. The entire process took less than 1 week.

1) A Schwab trading account (stocks, securities), with a minimum of $200 deposited.
2) A Schwab checking account (hence the ATM card). I load up the checking account and not only use the Schwab ATM card overseas, I have come to use it everywhere, as I know that any machine that hits me with any fee will be rebated back at the end of the month (even machines in my home country).

Just paid 250 p fee to take out 10 k p from a non HSBC bank in Bohol. Not excessive to some others I have seen.

But I think the driving factor is to increase ATM fees. I take out the max when I am at a HSBC machine, I really try not to use local machines because of the fee ald low withdrawal limits.
