Hi Jocelyn,

BDO Kabayan savings account is intended primarily to OFW and their beneficiaries. If you will not use it for remittance, it will be converted automatically to a regular savings account.

Marj,

BDO Junior savers club is a savings account for your children above 12 years and younger.

hello po .. i want to ask if :

1. since im a student plang and i want to open a peso savings account payroll, valid po ba ang student IDs as one of the requirements?

2. within how many months dapat ko po ba maabut yung maintaining balance? i mean yung deadline…

Reply

Gily Tenorio April 23, 2013 at 10:12

Rosangela,

As far as I know, you can use your valid school ID. There is no deadline for maintaining balance as long as you reach the minimum amount for maintaining balance, your account will not be charged.

You may request to have Junior savers club with passbook and ATM.

Hi Rix,

I know the maximum withdrawal amount in BPI per day is P20,000. http://learnfinancialeducation.com/bpi-atm-withdrawal-limit-and-fees/

I’m currently out of the country and working here in one of the US NAVAL BASES in Diego Garcia. I already have my remittance account with B.D.O. at Pasig Branch which is under my name and my MOm’s name. My question is I want to open a savings account for myself while working here at Diego Garcia. Can someone else open an account for me…since I am not in the country right now..??? The account I want to open is an PESO account.
Thanks
R.C.W.S.

Gil March 16, 2013 at 01:27

Hi Ronald,

Unfortunately, you can’t open an account in your name if you’re not physically present in the Philippines. However, if there’s a branch there in your area, you can. Telling other people to open an account using your name is not possible.

You may use Unionbank EON card to verify your PayPal account.

Hi Erma,

Yes pwedeng-pwede but you need to add money into your account within the month to avoid penalty for being below the maintaining balance.

Gil January 20, 2013 at 12:03

Hi Kirstin,

You may open BDO Kabayan Savings account because it is actually intended for OFW who send regular remittance to their loved ones in the Philippines.

Hi Tisha,.

You can see the requirements posted in this link: http://learnfinancialeducation.com/requirements-for-opening-a-bank-savings-account/
It will be the same as opening joint account.

i have bdo atm debit card, maintaining balance is 2k.. and i withdrew everything 6 days ago, and today im planning to deposit again. is there any penalty or surcharges for not maintaining balance?? how much would it cost?? its only 6 days… thank’s.

Reply

Gil January 11, 2013 at 23:11

Hi Anj,

There will be penalty if it below or no maintaining balance. However, you need to deposit money in order for the bank not to close it because of no funds.

ma. lourdes a. guevarra December 10, 2012 at 21:33

hi! i opened my BDO OFW account here in Doha Qatar thru PCI Bank way back 2008 or ’09 not. What i would like to ask is if my Acct. # Ma. Lourdes A. Guevarra 3940-368010 is still active so i can continue my banking system with you. The last transaction i had was May 2012 with Php. 500.00 left in my ATM. I hope to hear from your good office the soonest possible so i can do savings with you again. Being away from the Philippines and reliaing on Exchange Centers sometimes takes time in knowing if your remittances really get on time. My card is with me here and i don’t wanna come home without a saving….tanx and more power.

Gil December 14, 2012 at 13:13

Hi Lourdes,

I’m not connected to BDO bank, I’m just blogging about BDO. I have no idea how can you know if your ATM is still active since it with you right now. Try to call your branch and ask them if your account is still active.

Hi Lee,

Definitely, you can open a new account. Maybe your old account is already closed since you didn’t deposit any money for one year.

Hi. I am a Filipino living in Australia but no longer a Filipino citizen. I’m considering of opening a BDO account and would like to find out if I could do that when I come to the Phil in 3 weeks time. If able to do that, what type of account is suitable and is there a minimum deposit? Looking forward to your reply.

Reply

Gil November 13, 2012 at 11:40

Hi Maj,

I think the account is already closed. You should check first if it is still active or open before depositing money.

The initial deposit for joint account normally range from P5,000 to P10,000. There’s no fee when opening an account but you should have the initial deposit to be able to open an account.

Reply

Gil October 9, 2012 at 03:13

Hi Tintin,

Since your husband is an OFW, you can open a BDO Kabayan Savings account with P50 initial deposit. However, there’s a requirement for the number of remittance per year for this account. Just ask the bank on the details.

eyo September 11, 2012 at 11:52

hi, nag-open ako dati ng bdo kabayan… kso na miss place ko xa.. kelan ko lang nakita… eh hindi na p xa nalalagyan ng khit anong remittance… anong pwedeng gawin dun…

almost a year n sya wla sa kin.. last month ko lang nkita… pano kng halimbawa malagyan xa ng remittance this year.. pasok p din ba xa sa zero-maintaining balance..

Reply

Gil September 15, 2012 at 05:39

@eyo,

I think you should check first if it is still active or not before someone send a remittance to it just to be sure. If it is still active, the zero maintaining balance will be effective if the account has been sent with money twice a year.

Gil October 11, 2012 at 12:34

Hi Elaine,

You need a birth certificate of your baby, your ID and proof of billing plus the initial deposit. I think peso savings account is ok or the passbook savings account.

Hi Gil,

Payroll account and BDO ATM Debit Card ko iyong may MasterCard. Hindi pa binibigay ang account number ko pero at the back of the card may naka-reflect doon na number, 7 digits. Iyon ba ang account number ko? Plan ko rin kasi gamitin ito for my savings although may BPI na rin ako personal. Thanks.

Reply

Gil August 26, 2012 at 04:11

@Ivan,

I don’t have BDO account, but in BPI ATM card, the account number is reflected on the back of the card so I assuming the number at the back of your BDO ATM card is also your account number.

Sir, Question po re: Subject : Valid Identification Cards (IDs) for Financial Transaction

One possible ID is the use of Company IDs issued by private entities or institutions registered wit or supervised or regulated either by the BSP, SEC or IC

@Kurai,

As per BSP circulation, one valid photo-bearing ID would be enough when opening a bank account. See this post for more info: http://learninterestrates.com/list-of-valid-id-for-opening-a-bank-savings-account-in-the-philippines/

I’m not sure if it is allowed because your presence is necessary when opening a joint account because of signature verification on your part.

@Ann,

You can open a BDO Kabayan savings account. it is an account for OFW, you can use the billing of your parents or land lord (MERALCO Bill). 1 valid ID is enough to open an account. You may try also the BPI Easy saver account.

I’m not sure if there’s a BDO branch there in Singapore. BDO has no online application for savings account, perhaps you can try to apply a savings account at BPI Direct.
