BPI is offline![]()
Offline na naman online banking. Nag online sila saglit para mag deduct ng payables tapos offline ulit. Nakakaasar na.
I'm still using the old BPI atm (blue) My friends who use the EMV always have a hard time when they withdraw. Good thing I have not activated my EMV yet

They don't deactivate the old card upon activation of the new EMV card. Yung old card (though this is also an EMV pero "old" card) ko is in the province para makapagwithdraw sila ng perang pinapadala ko. Nagagamit ko rin ang single new EMV card (3 accounts) dito sa Manila. Then meron din akong 2 older accounts na blue pa ang ATM. Still active din.
I was told that there is no definite timetable yet for the deactivation of the old precisely because of problems with the EMV cards. Maybe that 90 day advisory is just formality so they could deactivate it anytime without notice once the EMV problem is fixed.
just got a scam email...

This is not considered formal communication to me. So I pressed the link to investigate, it was an attack site, and had a different address.
I don't know why when I copy and paste the email, the link corrects itself, but when I press it inside my email, it leads here...

Given how they threw the "lady" developer under the bus during the incorrect balance showing fiasco, I am not surprised.

^Got curious kung ano nangyari after the incident so I googled. Nagkaroon pala Senate investigation. Pero the BPI employee was not thrown under the bus by the BPI executive who faced the Senate. But I don't know what happened to her internally so who knows.
