Very safe. No one, including yourself has an access to the account, other than to put money in. Don't worry about it.

Wow, guys. Thank you for all your replies. It's a lot to think about. Ideally, I would like to open it up before we leave, but I guess it's not compulsary to do so. It's also good to know that there are banks around where you don't have to pay a fee.
