    Default Ironic to see more foreigners than locals queuing up at DBS and POSB ATMs

    So it is true that the FAP has opened the floodgate even wider after the GE.

    Posted on 11 Jun 2012 Ironic to see more foreigners than locals queuing up at DBS and POSB ATMs


    STOMPer choon noticed that more foreigners than locals were seen in the queues of DBS and POSB ATMs at Bugis.

    The STOMPer said:

    "It's ironic that although DBS and POSB are local banks, majority of their users are foreigners.

    "Long queues were seen at Bugis, with more than 30 to 40 people waiting.

    "Around 80% were foreign workers."

    Because FT headcount is more than SGP.
    Half Sinkie dont have money in bank account. 20% survive on roll over credit card.
    If you work in bank u will know how many SGP roll over credit card more than 3 month. That why bank keep pestering consumer to take u their Credit card. Those roll over the amount is their cash cow. Bank charge interest rate 1.5%/month or consider about 35%/year base on mortgage calculation. That more than 10 times current housing loan rate.

    That's why die, die, I always pay my credit card bills in full. When cash is in short supply why give it to the banks, they are no better than legalised Ah Longs

    It appears that almost every foreigner has a posb od dbs account.
    No wonder that not long ago, the CEO claimed that the bank was "flushed with deposits".

    Probably more Sinkies use credit card for transactions these days and there's not much need to withdraw cash.
    There's also the option of Internet banking for paying your bills, checking your balance etc.

    I drive by Geylang regularly. Check the POSB branch at Lor 22. I always spot long queues of Indians in front of the ATMs even late at night.
