$50 Cash Bonus For Opening A Tangerine Bank Account!

January 22, 2016 by Jennyfer Tan Leave a Comment

I have been using Tangerine bank's (former ING Direct) services for a couple of months now and I have to say that the experience so far is good.  I signed up with it, primarily because a friend of mine invited me to open one, and we both got a $50 bonus.  I also was convenient it was a good bank since it was acquired by Scotiabank and is operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary.  You don't need to physically go to their "cafe" (branch) to enroll.  What I did was just sign up on their website, took … [Read more...]

For emigrating Filipinos who wants to get a driver's license in a different country, you might need to get an LTO/DFA red ribbon authenticated driver's license to prove your driving history, (although this will depend on the country or province that you're going, in my case, British Columbia doesn't need a red-ribbon authenticated certificate anymore, they will based it on the date of issue on your driver's license.
