I’m not really sure if they allow withdrawal from passbook in other branch aside from your branch because I don’t have passbook account.
You can contact Metrobank directly to answer your questions.
Mine is only ATM account with online banking. I can withdraw anytime in any ATM machine.

would u know if they will still charge u for closing an account or is it ok to just withdraw all of the money? because i dont want to have a bad record in metrobank so if there’s a proper way of closing it then it’s better

I already have a BDO account and I also engage in TD, UITF, and MM. I’m considering of opening an account(s) on other banks but I’m looking into a bank that’s with the most convenient way/means in linking your savings account to other special accounts that the bank offers. Do you know of other banks that offer similar services with that of BDO in terms of linking to special accounts as well as banks that offer high interest rates? Thank you.

Hi, you should use your ATM, if you cannot use it anymore, your account number is not active.

Hi Elyn,
I suggests up to Php 500,000 because it is the maximum insurance by PDIC.
