When open a current account in bank, we need letter from employer. This one is ok, already done.

Question is, can we open a second (saving) account in another bank?

Do we need letter again from employer.
Which bank doesn't require letter when you open a saving account?

Thanks.

Note: In my home country, I can open as many account as I like, and can be in different bank also.

Yes, we need cheque book to pay apartment rental.

I guess if you open the saving account in the same bank as your current account than you don't need letter.

But, I would like to open the saving account in another bank.

Will try to go to the Commercial Bank and ask.

Thanks everybody.

or do you have an ATM & Credit card associated with it?

I was told that there is no need to have a 'current' account if you don't use a cheque book and a savings account was more suitable.

Did you Google it first?

Well, baldrick, I didn't. Maybe I look more trustworthy than you?

I also needed a letter for a savings account with CBQ, but it shouldn't be a big deal - see your company HR and ask for a letter to open an account. Unless they only want you to have an account with a specific bank they shouldn't have a problem giving you a new letter.

For "Saving Accounts" no letter from the sponsor is required (i.e. Commercial Bank).

to open a second account.

Why not just open a savings account with the branch you are already with? You can then link the accounts and automatically transfer any amount over the current account minimium to the savings account.
