When I first opened a US$ account here at SB, I was told that as a foreigner I could not get an interest bearing account. I distinctly remember asking at that time if I will be able to get one when I have my cedula. The answer was "definitely".
Now that I have my cedula... no can do!
I am told that because this is a canadian bank they cannot give me interest on my money - US $ or pesos is the same.
I guess I could open a non interest bearing pesos account, do the funds transfer using the Toronto intermediary bank and once here I can move the funds to my BHD interest bearing pesos account. SB also says that they need 3 weeks for a funds transfer!
OR... I am told that RUSA gives better interest rates than any bank. How safe is it?
Thoughts?
