  oh... i am not sure how it works for you.... can you open a bank account in foreign currency?

  thats later...once the account matures I can TT over to oz anytime cos its already in OZ currency ..not exposed any xchange rate movement

  yeah this is how it works...u buy foreign currency and put it into a fix deposit for a period. Once the period is up you get a certain amount of interest.

  i see. depends on the amount. Bank draft might be better

  also u can renew the period or you choose to convert it back to sg...the key factor is the prevailing exchange rate
