Hi, I am a graphic designer and I wan't want to do some freelance designing online to get extra income, I'm junior level and earn $300 per month. I wan't to open an Account that enables me to get a MasterCard or Visa Card. I have enquired at several banks (StanChart, CBZ & Kingdom Bank). The first two banks stated requirements of a $500 salary & $500 initial deposit respectively. (Had to do the walk of shame, twice! XD)
For Kingdom, they stated $50 initial dep. but I just wanted to know which one is the best bank for my situation? (there could be a better deal somewhere else). Also any advice on what account type to get (Savings,Current,etc) will be greatly appreciated.
I also intend to send and receive money to Paypal and Skrill(Moneybookers) accounts.
PS: I am completely new to banking
Thanks
