Checking Account

I just signed up for a checking account with UOB which sounds pretty good so far - as long as you manage a monthly ledger account balance of $3000, you get to sign cheques for no extra cost! However there's no interest accrued (well it is a checking account after all) so I'll do some taichi and get the existing POSB savings account to be an actual savings place and grab a UOB credit card! Does anyone have any better suggestion? Kindly share!

I guess I'll work on budgeting in the short term from now, and look at how to grow money faster other than conventional banks...

Hmm!
