5 Things I like with BPI Service

I have experienced using many bank services in the Philippines but, to date, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) Service is still the best. Here's 5 of my reasons.


1. BPI ATMs is everywhere
When you have a BPI account whether a savings account or credit card, you can get cash through their ubiquitous ATM booths. You don’t have to use other bank’s ATM to withdraw cash and be deducted 12 pesos for doing so. It’s a little savings but can become bigger when accumulated.

2. No Deposit Charge
Other banks charge 50 pesos when you deposit from a branch Visayas to Luzon account. BPI doesn’t have that. You can deposit to any account in the Philippines without having to pay an extra. Again, small savings but becomes bigger especially if you regularly remit money.

3. Encash/Deposit Checks without charge
Other banks charge 50 to 100 pesos when you encash your check. Again, BPI doesn’t have that. You can get the value of your check down to 25 cents. And it even works when you deposit a check from different bank to your BPI Savings account! No charge!




4. Superb Online Account Security
Today, in the world of Information Age, it is very convenient to use online transaction methods to transfer funds. The danger though is that there are many online thefts. Good thing about BPI express online, you have to register first an account before you can transfer funds from it. You have to print the registration form and submit it to the nearest BPI branch. In contrast, other banks allow you to transfer funds to any account as long as you know the password. This is quite secure as long as your password is not hacked. :-)

5. BPI Direct Savings Account has a low maintaining balance of 500 pesos.
With interest rate bigger than ordinary savings account plus 500 pesos maintaining balance, BPI Direct is really cool. BPI Direct is a subsidiary of BPI.

To BPI, Keep Up the Good Work! You are keeping your customers loyalty.

  1. What I don't like is... the BPI atm's dispense only 500 up withdrawals and in some cases 1000. it's hard esp. when you need 100 bills wahh!!!

  4. bpi has the best customer service. employees dont mind if you're just wearing pambahay. and when i lost my card , i just called the hotline and i got it in 3 days. BDO has the worst customer service, they wont entertain you if you're just wearing pambahay. and when i lost my bdo card, i had to go to the branch twice to get my card. super hassle. i love bpi. the best.

  10. The services of BPI are great as what I've noticed, but the question is,

    Bakit kaya hindi nagiging number 1 ang BPI sa market. Meron bang problema?

    I entered a Metrobank branch and super strict ng patakaran nila, hoo, ay naku. Sana tumaob na sila, kasama ng BDO.
    XD. haha :)

    1. it says here that if you deposited a check from BPI, it will be cleared right away. I'm assuming you deposited a check from other local banks. These will be cleared after 3 banking days. :)

    2. No charge for checks of other banks deposited on your bpi. The clearing though will take 3 days

    3. Thanks. This is very informative.

  12. hello!!

    About the "no deposit charge" is it only no charge if you have a BPI account?

    Thanks!

    please email me at: erika_noval88@yahoo.com.ph

  33. I once terminated all my accounts in Metrobank due to poor customer service and decided to have BPI as my sole bank for current account, savings account, and credit card. BPI back then (around 2006) had good customer service. These days, the service is so frustrating. Try to call 89100 and you will know what I mean. The message I am getting from BPI is "cutting costs and improving our bottomline is our ultimate goal and we don't care about your banking experince with us". Any suggestion on which bank still provides quality customer service? I am looking for one where I can transfer all my accounts from BPI.

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
