Hi guys I'm trying to find the best option without losing to much money...
Am I better off having a Aussie travel visa card with an Aussie bank or just put all the money into
An indo account? I know that when I'm in Bali I get charged $20 AUD every ATM withdrawal with my current card that's alot if that's my only option and as that is more than I'll be spending on food and accommodation a day it's a real waste of money and not really an option.

Look forward to reading what you think

Hi,

my opinion is depend on how long you gonna be here.
you can open indo account like in permata bank. its will be better for you to have indonesia account if stay long here.

My opinion is open Indonesian account
You can use your USD20 for your food in the future
BCA will be better, they will give you in the same day for the ATM card(without name)
And also ATM Machine in everywhere

Or CIMB
Also same day for the ATM card
Can use ATM Bersama, only cost IDR5,000
If you want get your money with different bank in ATM machine
