PanShiBo Posted November 7, 2010 at 03:20 PM Report Posted November 7, 2010 at 03:20 PM Hi, I will spend two month in Guangdong. What's good bank to open an account? All I need is a debit card to use with ATMs. Debit card should work in Shanghai too. What is required if the card is lost? Thanks! Quote
abcdefg Posted November 7, 2010 at 07:51 PM Report Posted November 7, 2010 at 07:51 PM What's good bank to open an account? I've used Bank of China for a debit card in Guangdong. If you will only use it for two months and only for ATM withdrawals, that should suffice. You may pay a small premium for BOC ATM withdrawals in Shanghai, but the convenience is worth it. I don't know what happens if you lose your card. Write all its numbers down somewhere and save the receipts the bank gives you when you open the account. 2 Quote
