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):

1. A Singapore-dollar (SGD) denominated cheque (probably the simplest method)
2. An international bank (telegraphic) transfer
3. An internet transfer (if in Singapore)*
4. A cash cheque deposited directly into our bank account (if in Singapore)*
5. 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. For large groups (more than 15 adults), corporate customers and new groups this is mandatory. We do, from time-to-time, with prior permission at the time of booking, permit regular guests to settle their accommodation balances on the island in SGD cash or with a single SGD cheque
• Ancillary charges (eg drinks bills) can 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.

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 amount corresponds to the calendar week of your trip. For example, if you are arriving on the island on Friday 10th June, 2005, this is show on calendars as Week 23, so add $0.23, ie 23 cents to your deposit amount. You would transfer $2,000.23. This amount is for the Calendar Week of your trip, not the week you transfer the funds.

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)
