Any reputed bank in Indonesia would ask for an initial deposit of about IDR 1,000,000 for opening a regular current account. It would also need minimal core deposits Rp 100,000.
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.
Most banks don't charge you for opening a normal bank account. However they would expect you to deposit a certain amount of money as initial deposit towards your account that is being opened. If you want to open an NRI account or a private banking account (like what some banks offer their wealthy clients) you may have to incur some charges while opening them.
It depends on the bank and also the type of account you are opening. for example a basic feature savings account in a nationalized bank in India requires a min balance of 500 rupees and for an account with a cheque book requires 1000 rupees for private banks the min balance is usually 2500 or 5000 or even more based on the facilities provided.
