In fact, Switzerland is starting to lose its edge as it is trying to harmonise its laws with those of the European Union. As such, a lot of people are starting to move their money to other financial centers around the world. \n\nSingapore has a top class banking system and its private wealth sector has been growing in leaps and bounds. Singapore has a good legal system, has tight banking laws, handles banking secrecy well and is well respected around the world.

You're right... there's really not much of a benefit either way nowadays.  I think when you look at fees charged for services and the interest being paid, it's probably an easy decision.  Some money markets are NOT FDIC insured however... whereas personal checking accounts are FDIC insured.

We have had Bank of America for several years and I am vey satisfied with it. It also has online bill pay (free) which saves a lot of stamps and envelopes. You can write checks to just about anyone.

I think ing is great.  I have my savings account there.  The only drawback for some is that it is only online

Yes but you have to open proper accounts with banks in Singapore, Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Central Depository (CDP).

ING is great.  Check out www.GMACBank.com (also).  I have both. GMAC has an ATM card & free checks as well as electronic transfers. Currently GMAC has higher rates for savings.\n\nBoth are FDIC insured. Both are major players in the on line market.

Because Singaporeans GDP per capita is getting higher by the year? about 3.25K SGD per month. \n\nHigher spending power\nAnd most importantly, there is a demand for better interior designed flats, better facilities, better location and sometimes, even better technology for the home (smart ones!). So yea.. 350K woohoo.

I'd give you some guide-lines/keywords. Check these up, and decide.\n\nE-Banking and its effects of over turnover, profitability and related costs (upgrading systems, safe-guarding from intrusion sessions).\n\nBasel 2 and its effect over banking.\nIf you are an auditor, then some topic based on CISA.\n\nHow does SME (Small Medium Enterprises) turn up to be, once financed by banks?\n\nHope it was helpfull.

There are many banks in Jakarta - some of these banks are foreign - such ABN-Amro (Dutch), DBS (Singapore), and many others.  Try checking with the Indonesian Embassy.

Singapore is a great transit point into the Malay peninsula and of course it is close to China. Singapore is pretty much tapped out other than its strategic location. It would be hard to justify a manufacturing center or something like that, with land and everything being so expensive. Companies based in Singapore may be a geat idea.

Advantage is mainly ease of use as you can avail these facilities on net or phone or through ATMs however disadvantage is you loose human touch and worse is if something goes wrong it is very difficult to get it corrected.

Well lets say a big difference is when u use a Bank product  u invest in Bank & the Bank starts making money and when u use a service the bank might not gain. Lets say when  u withdraw investment u use services but bank is losing!
