SIM Swap Scam

Avoid using the App for security if you don't really do that much transactions. In my case, transactions to 3rd party accounts are blocked. You can request BPI to block 3rd party transactions.

Just don't activate the transfer to anyone feature,

3rd party accounts are pre-registered so basically you know whom the accounts belong to...usually it's family members.

Website is more secure? I though app is safer because there is danger of phishing using website? Although I only use website bec I was not aware of a BPI app.

IOS apps are generally secured as they are being screened and reviewed by Apple

I was not even aware they had an app

Yung isang account ko they sent a small device, aside from the password, you also have to input the number generated by that device.

Hindi ka nag iisa I always used web based daily.. but I sometimes apps din gamit ko pag emergency at tinatamad bumangon sa bed hehehe.

The risk with using an App is if someone gets hold of your phone. Plus they will easily know which bank you use because they see the App. Although you can always bury it in a folder.

only works with BPI, BDO doesn't have that functionality. Dunno with other banks.

With BDO you can now transfer to other account without registering them..

They still wouldn't know your username and password.
