Overall, ok po ba sa BDO? like sa checking and savings?

Yung checking po ba dito, parang sa BPI, may ATM din?

thanks

Ok po overall ang BDO. Maraming branches at mas convinient kasi marami sa mga SM malls at sa weekends pwede at upto 6 pm.

wala pong ATM ang checking account:
http://www.bdo.com.ph/Deposits/
http://www.bdo.com.ph/Interest_Rates/
pwede pong transfer via online from checking to savings or vise versa.

You can't deposit to EPCI anymore if your branch have already transitioned.

You can still view your account at www.fastnet.com.ph but you can't do any transactions. You can log on at www.bdo.com.ph and click "my bdo internet banking" icon at the left side. Use you PAN (primary account number of your EPCI account) as your username and same password as the fastnet.com and do online transactions there. No need to register or go to the branch to access bdo online. Ones your branch has trantitioned. Those who have exiting www.fastnet.com users are automatically enrolled to dbo online.

You can still issue your EPCI check and is valid for one year from the date of transition of your EPCI branch.

ATM min balance is from 3,000 pesos Epci to 2,000 bdo
Checking is from 10,000 Epci to 5,000 bdo.

correct. you have to personally go to your branch because you will have to fill up some forms.

hassle talaga itong BDO-EPCIB "merger." next year pa kasi magpapalit ang EPCIB branch ko to BDO. ang net effect for me is pakaunti ng pakaunti ang pwede kong depositan na EPCIB branch.

Thanks po Mr. uwak18.

The ATM kasi of BPI is good kasi anytime, i can deposit money thru their machine in the checking account and it's debited in real time. Like after you're through with the depositing, you can check its balance and it'll be there available for withdrawal.

sa BDO naman, i just need to be there before 6pm. hehe. Sabagay, malapit lang ako sa SM North EDSA, pero ang ayoko lang sa pagpunta sa mall, magbibihis pa ako. hehe.

thanks

Bad trip lang sa EPCI eh hindi man lang sila nag padala ng notice. Bigla nalang sila nagpalit without informing their clients.

You can call this HOTLINE number of BDO for any inquiries: 6318000

WBR,

yes. actually ang pagkakasabi ng branch manager na nakausap ko, i-ho-honor nila ang mga epcib pdc's up to 2 years from the time magconvert ang branch to bdo

**Galactus** · November 12th, 2007 12:00 PM

^^^ 2 years nga ba? Alam ko one (1) year lang ang validity ng check from the time na nag-convert ang branch to BDO. Yun kasi ang sabi sa amin ng BM ng EPCI Congressional Mindanao Avenue.

Bwiset nga yung merger na yan. Mahina ang information drive nila sa public. Marami kasi kaming mga client na nagbabayad sa account namin from other branches. Yung iba, hindi makabayad kasi hindi na raw tinatanggap yung old EPCI account nos. namin. (converted to BDO na kasi, samantalang yung branch namin hindi pa). So naghahanap pa sila ng ibang EPCI branches. Eh sa katamaran at sobrang hassle, hindi na nagbabayad, next month na lang daw.

Salamat sa mga reply. Useful info.

I tried my old account number at FastNet last night and it worked on log on, but I can't see any transaction details. I will try the BDO site later.

This becomes a problem for me. I cannot go to the branch to get my new number.

In fact you can see your new account number at BDO site. So pwede na hindi pumunta ng branch just to know your account numbers. Automatic na kasi enrolled to www.bdo.com.ph if you're a www.fastnet.com.ph user.
