Living on Batam Island, Indonesia. Advice and Information Wanted

I'll be moving from New Zealand to Batam Island as I've been able to secure a job there. The work site is in an industrial area near Ponjen. For the initial move my new employer is putting me up in a hotel until I/we can find permanent and suitable residence. I'm wanting to find a safe apartment complex or gated community as I'll have my daughter's visiting during their school holidays.

Banking is another aspect I need to do. Any recommendations for physical or online banking?

I am getting help from my new employers but it's good to have others input.

Thanks for any help you can provide :)
