    Default which bank to use in Bali

    Hi,
    As we are coming closer to our depature date I need some advice. I think it is always better to get some different oppinions.
    Is it better to open an account at a bank in Bali? Which one? Are they secure?
    Or is it better to leave your money overseas?
    Hope to get some good answers
    Have a beaut of a day,
    Nelis & Jogry

    I don't know the best answer, but I'd guess it is best to open one in Bali.... If a problem does occur, your already there! Plus generally you get charged to use a bank account from outside of Bali.
    I believe the interest rate in Bali is also much better than the West...
    Just a few idea's!?

    I've been using BCA, (Bank Central Asia) for years and I like them a lot. No problems with wire transfers, and on-line banking is also available. I also have my VISA card with them as well as a checking account.

    Not being one to ever put all my eggs in one basket, I also have accounts with Lippo.
