RE: Bank Accounts
Hello Clairyc
I am still looking to open a bank account and it seems there are a number of options Biat apparently offer accounts to foriegners and this one given the number of branches that they have seems a good bet.
I am going to open mine in Burges Du Lac near the embassy as when you try and do these things in a small town or branch they somtimes say they don't so that they don't have the hasstle of having to process it.
When I bought a car I simply wired the money into the account without issue and it took 5 days or so remember when you transfer large sums of money you may be able to shop around for your rate as you should get better than somone changing a few hundred.
I would definately recommend that you have a bank account there before you send any money (I had to use my wifes at the time).
