about - hubby and I opened a joint account on our last day in Sanur two years ago.
We needed an address to send statements to in Indonesia - which we are no longer using as they arrive each month by email and we needed an Indonesian National to sponsor our account. We used a friend of a friend. No hassles at all - all done within a short period BOTH signed the one card. Joint account so only one card and one pin. Works really well.
Love the look on the face of the locals when you hand over a local debit card to pay for your transactions.
We used the Permata Bank in Sanur if this helps
