INTRODUCTION
The information herein covers both the remittance
of a deposit to Pangkil to secure the island as well
as the remittance of the balance of the accommodation
funds prior to your trip. There are a number of ways
of doing this (in a rough order of preference):
- A Singapore-dollar (SGD) denominated cheque (probably
the simplest method)
- An international bank (telegraphic) transfer
- An internet transfer (if in Singapore)*
- A cash cheque deposited directly into our bank
account (if in Singapore)*
- SGD cash, handed personally to our Singapore Service
Manager
* Please note that methods 3 and 4 can be
difficult for us to trace, so you will need to follow
the instructions below exactly or risk losing your
deposit.
Please also note the following:
- We do not accept credit cards in Singapore or
on the island. We are simply too small
- The balance of the accommodation costs need to
be settled in Singapore 5 working days before the
day of departure.
- Ancillary charges (eg drinks bills) must be settled
on the island in SGD cash or a single SGD cheque
(which then has to make its way back to Singapore)
DEPOSIT AMOUNT
We will need you to secure the booking with a deposit
of SGD$2,000 as soon as is practicable, but generally within 48 hours.
DEPOSIT REFUND POLICY
We reserve the right to not refund the deposit under
any circumstances. We generally do refund deposits
under the conditions explained
here.
REMITTANCE DETAILS – CHEQUE
Please make out a cheque in favour of
“EAS Maritime Agencies Pte Ltd” and:
On the back of the cheque please print:
- “Deposit for Pangkil [arrival date]/[departure
date]”
- The Group Organizer’s name (often different
from the Cheque Account Holder’s name)
- Phone Numbers (two of: Mobile; Home; Office) &
Email Address(es) for the Cheque Account Holder
(and for the Group Organizer if a different person)
- Include a name card if possible
- Post the cheque to our Singapore Service Manager,
Mr Sebastian Lee (details at the bottom of this
document)
REMITTANCE DETAILS – INTERNATIONAL
(TELEGRAPHIC) TRANSFERS
For Telegraphic Transfers, we'd be grateful if you
could remit the nett amount, ie absorb the bank/transaction
charges on both ends of the transaction. Our bank
charges are usually SGD20, however you do not need
to know that. Simply tick the ‘Applicant’
and ‘Beneficiary’ (or similar) boxes on
the ITT form. If you forget to do this, then you can
‘top up’ the amount at a later stage.
The bank details below have been used around the world
and are all you’ll need. Push your bank hard
if they claim they need additional information –
they don’t.
REMITTANCE DETAILS – INTERNET TRANSFERS
& CASH DEPOSITS
Please inform us on the day you transfer funds via
the internet or drop cash into our account. Some banks in Singapore in their infinite wisdom limit internet transfers to SGD1,000 per day. IT IS FINE TO TRANSFER FUNDS TO US IN TWO STAGES. Let us know at the END of the process that this has been done. For cash
drops into the account please also obtain prior permission
from Sebastian. The following simple tracking system
is crude but effective. You need to use this otherwise
you run the risk of losing your deposit, particularly
with cash drops as we have no way of verifying who
deposits what.
Tracking System
You will need to add a tracking amount (in cents)
to the deposit total. This is primarily for cash deposits. It doesn't hurt to do it with Internet Transfers. It is not necessary for ITT transfers and cheques. This tracking amount corresponds to the
calendar week of your trip. For example, if you are
arriving on the island on Friday 14th October, 2011,
this is show on our calendar as Week 41, so add $0.41,
ie 41 cents to your deposit amount. You would transfer
$2,000.41. This amount is for the Calendar Week of
your trip, not the week you transfer the funds. On our Booking Calendar the week number shown up at the Top Right corner of the Monday box. If you're confused as to what week it is, don't worry. Close enough is usually good enough.
COMMUNICATION
Banks (well ours at least) are not as efficient as
they should be when it comes to providing real-time
information on transfers. Communication is important.
Please scan and email us your ITT, Internet, or Deposit
Slip on the same day as your transaction so that we
can ensure we hold the island for you.
BANK DETAILS
The details below are sufficient for all ITTs, Internet
Transfers or Cash Cheque drops. Please contact Sebastian
if you'd like to arrange to drop a cash deposit at
our office (cash deposits into our bank account are
untraceable so please do not do this without prior
approval)
