  Nowadays the interest for normal saving a/c are dirt low.

  You may want to check out Fairprice Plus.
  A collaboration between NTUC FairPrice and OCBC.
  I think the saving acct interest is 1% P.A.
  
  Check out the website.

  standard chartered is good for your needs...no atm card, all transactions done online. if you need to withdraw money, have to transfer the money to another bank account then you can withdraw. there are charges for over-the-counter transactions at their branches.
