The purpose of a zero balance bank account is to have somewhere to put some money when an unexpected emergency arises. It is wise to have one just in case.

Usually banks offer zero balance bank accounts to customers who have salary accounts with them. I have a zero balance account with DBS and since DBS and POSB are part of the same group, I guess they too will have a zero account balance bank account. You need to submit this bank account to your employer and if they GIRO your salary to this account automatically every month, it should be fine.

What is CDA in banking meaning and use?

CDA is a banking acronym for Controlled Disbursement Account. A CDA bank account is a subsidiary account to a Master account that is manually funded for a specific purpose (i.e. Accounts Payable, Payroll, etc.). Usually the CDA account balance is checked each morning for withdrawn funds, and if approved the exact funds are transfered from the Master account to satisfy the withdrawal. The alternative bank account structure is a ZBA account, which stands for Zero Balance Account. A ZBA account is a subsidiary account that is directly tied to the Master account so that any deposits/withdrawals are automatically transferred (swept) to the Master account, thereby maintaining a Zero Balance in the subsidiary account. The primary difference is that CDA provides a higher level of security since it requires a positive confirmation to transfer funds between the Master and Subsidiary accounts.

What will be the initial deposit to open a Bank of America account?

I think it is US $ 500 for a simple checking account. The bank would give you an ATM card and a check book for this account. However if you arrange to have a Direct Deposit (Your Monthly Salary/paycheck) into this account Bank of America waives this minimum balance requirement and you can have it as a Zero-Balance checking account.


What happens if you open an account but it has no money?

Some banks offer zero account balance accounts. In them you need not maintain any minimum balance to run the account. But in most cases each bank would have a minimum amount that needs to be maintained. For example in a Nationalized Bank in India where the account gives you features like cheque book, ATM card etc, the minimum balance is 1000 rupees. In case you fail to maintain the minimum balance then the bank has the rights to charge a penalty. This would be charged on a monthly basis based on the number of times your account has failed to maintain the min balance.
