Preparing the Down payment

If you're like me, you probably don't have all your money in just one account in just one bank. To come up with the down payment, I had to open a checking account at the bank where my salary account is at. I then had to transfer most of what I have saved from my savings account in another bank to this new checking account. The first step involves going to the bank branch where the company I am working for opened my salary account. All that is needed is to fill up a form and make a PHP 5,000.00 deposit and pay PHP 120.00 for the cheque book. I also enrolled both accounts into the online banking system of the bank which will allow me to transfer funds between the two accounts with minimal fuzz. For the next step, I had to transfer the bulk of my savings to the new checking account. I am not comfortable with lugging around a large sum of cash so lucky for me, I already have a cheque book and used it to transfer the required amount. To know what happens next, stay tuned.
