from being diverted by fraudulent people or making payment to a foreign account which do not belong
to you, the greatest advantage is that you can instruct us to credit your nominated account bit by
bit with small amount thereby saving yourself from the emberrasment of Financial Authority in your
country who monitor large transfer due to current trend of terrorist. Another beauty of the
domiciliary account is that you can retain the balance left in your account in our Bank and can
also instruct us to pay out money to any bank of your choice in the world, or issue you an ATM Card
