Your money will be waiting for you when you arrive. If you don't need to transfer funds prior to arriving you can delay applying for an account until you arrive at Jolly Swagman Backpackers Hostel then just visit the local banks and have the bank assistants do all the work for you. There are banks are less than 1 minute walk from our doorstep.
