POSB Card
Yesterday my mother brought me to the bank at Tiong Bahru to transfer our sharing account to my name and open another account for my atm card. We queued for about 30 minutes before it was our turn. My mother expected this long queue already but she still ended up getting pissed for the long queue. As for me, I thought the queue will be longer just like that time when I queued to get S.H.E signatures.
I would say that the service of the staff is really efficient. Because my previous sharing account was signed using my thumbprint since I was very young at that time, I need to use my thumbprint again to cancel this sharing account. The lady serving us grabbed my thumb and punched the ink, punched document number 1 and then punched document number 2. It felt as though my thumb was not mine.
The lady asked if I would like to have nets and debit or just nets alone. My mum said both. I didn't quite understand what they were talking about. What is the difference between debit and nets?
After receiving my bank books, one for savings account and one for atm account, I was so excited and motivated and inspired to save up a lot of money. I think it is quite late for me to own one card because I know a lot of my 4D1 classmates and my soka friends already own one since monkey years ago.
My mum and I went to eat at Ajisen Ramen and then I used my posb card to foot the bill. The guy asked Master or Nets and I replied Master even though I still don't know the difference. Then my mum explained to me that when you said Master, you have to sign. On the other hand, if you opt for nets, you have to key in your pin numbers.
Then we went to the bank again to deposit the sum of money for the food. This is quite funny because my mum can just foot the bill but because she wanted me to learn how to pay for my food and how to deposit. Lol! So nice!
