How to Apply for a BPI Savings Account?

Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is one of the largest banks in the Philippines today and the oldest with over 100 years since its establishment in 1851. Today, BPI has been one of the trusted banks in the country as it has shown itself resilient in the many economic crisis that befell the Philippines.

So if you're planning to have your first ever bank account, definitely, BPI is highly recommended. Here is the step-by-step procedure on how to apply for a BPI account. For those who are not aware, Bank of the Philippine Islands has two other subsidiary banks-BPI Family savings bank, and BPI Direct Savings Bank.

Additional Info: I asked a BPI personnel abut the difference between the three BPI banks and she answered me these:

BPI Bank is focused primarily on corporate accounts.
BPI Family Savings Bank focuses on individual savings accounts.
BPI Direct Savings Bank is focused primarily on telephone and online banking.




The following procedure though is applicable only for both BPI and BPI Family Savngs Bank. For BPI Direct Savings bank, check this article:

  5. how about TIN/BIR IDs? I tried to use that with BDO and they they declined my application. Would TIN card be included in "Other valid IDs issued by the Government and its instrumentalities"?

    ReplyDelete
  6. if that's the real reason why they declined your application, just use other ids like voters ID.
    They sent me an email listing the valid IDs they accept. Please see the list above. i noticed that BIR/TIN id is not included.

  38. Despite all the requirements that they posted, it is still subject to discretion by the bank. They may require 2 ids and a billing statement, but may accept just one with baranggay clearance.

    Talk with the branch you wish to open an account in.

    Eto po yung tinutukoy ko about sa valid IDs, pati postal ID secondary lang daw un. e pano nga kung self employed ka or freelancer ka nga, e di wala kang company ID. kung wala ka balak mag abroad, bakit ka kukuha ng passport? voter ID problem... etc...

    ang arte, may NBI, may barangay clearance, may Birth certificate, Police clearance, postal ID kana e. di pa ba sapat yan para patunayan ang pagkatao mo?

  66. You will need a letter from the person you're living with whose name appears on the billing statement, stating that he certifies you're living with him. Have him photocopy his ID as added documentation and state that in the letter as well.

    For IDs, driver's license and passports are best. TIN ID has been accepted too when I opened an account. Philhealth is not accepted as it does not have your photo in it.

4 Steps to Replace Stolen or Lost Passbook

My passbook (inside my bag) was recently stolen inside a local grocery store, and I would like to share the steps I took to secure my account and get a new passbook.      By User:Aerous ", CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link The steps outlined here are for a BPI savings account, but generally, the procedure will be very similar to other banks in the Philippines. 1. Call the Bank to Secure Your Account The first and most crucial step you need to do immediately is to contact your bank by phone or personally report it to the branch where you opened the account. This action will ensure that funds will stay put. The bank will lock the account immediately. The big banks have 24/7 hotlines. For BPI, it's 889-100. You have to do this step ASAP after discovering the loss. 2. Go to the Branch to Ask for a Replacement of the Passbook It can mean a simple replacement of the lost passbook, but it can also mean closing the entire account and opening a new one for security purposes. 3. Get an Affidav

Resigning? SSS Will Deduct Your Loan Balance from Your Last Pay

The purpose of this article is to inform the public about this policy of the Social Security System (SSS), the government-owned insurance company for those employed in the private sector. I just learned about this a few months ago when my company announced a workforce reduction program. Among the sad discussions is about this policy of SSS regarding loans in cases of resignation or retrenchment. Section G-2 of the SSS Loan Terms and Conditions (at the back of the loan application form) explicitly says the following: "The employer shall deduct the total balance of the loan from any benefit/s due to the employee and shall remit the same in full to SSS, in case the member-borrower is separated voluntarily (e.g., retirement or resignation) or involuntarily (e.g., termination of employment or cessation of operations of the company)." In other words, y ou will be required to pay the rest of your loan (including the interest) when you change employer or employment statu

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

My dad needs a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. I did a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, it depends on many factors, such as which body part is to be scanned. There's also this technique called "MRI with contrast," wherein the patient will be injected with a chemical to make the scan clearer. For your information, this technique of adding contrast is known as  Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure, but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis. MRI Machine KasugaHuang , CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link So, in my father's case, we had a  Prostate MRI,  and I assume it was without contrast since he was never injected with the "contrast" chemicals. We got it in  i-Scan Healthcare Inc.  here in Quezon City. The cost is  13000 Pesos . Please take note that the amount was just for the scan, and a separate professional will read the result. Some laboratories offer this service (i.e
