Fanny,it cost me £100 to open it,this was not a deposit.I was told before that I had to keep at least 5000aed in there at all times otherwise I would be charged around 100aed per month.Although its only around 2 months old and its empty,so far I havent been charged.
DayFox its just a regular savings account.I dont know what the interest is.I dont really care as the rental money I will have going in wont be there long enough to worry.
I emailed them only a couple of days ago to find out if I can access it online.No answer yet.
I would think you could open an account with HSBC dubai by first opening one at a local HSBC where ever in the world you are.I would imagine you could also open one direct but for me it was far easier doing it through a local branch.
