Hi, I want to open a saving account at Citibank, as I will be going to study in Korea and they have branch in Korea (which means no additional transaction fee for cash withdrawal).

I just left my previous company early this month for going to Korea next week, so I don't have a "proof" for my income. The banker is not sure how I can be eligible to open an account at Citibank... I need to register under the place I stay here but it is under my mum's name and my mum is a housewife... so the banker just ask me to leave my contact number and she will call back after checking with their account department...

Any idea how can I open an account without going through so much of hassle? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I wonder as well. Hope that anyone with experience opening saving account at Citibank can advise.
