BPI

Depends on your visa status as to what banks will allow you an account or not. I know HSBC accomodates foreigners.

Bank of Philippine Islands is a good Bank and accessable from large stores like SM&NCCC聽 聽For me they required a letter from my Bank in Australia verifing that i have a legimate account in the Branch i stated.聽 In the Phil they have strong money laundering laws that there Banks must follow but procedures varies between Banks.

Thank you guys...

For international banks - Citi or HSBC. For local, BPI or BDO. Both should have USD and Peso accounts.

I opened a AU$ a/c but when i found how much both Banks charged in fees i will close it first chance i get .聽 Close to AU$40 every transaction.聽 聽Much cheaper to use聽 Companies like Orbit Remit or LBC聽 which charge only $8/transaction to transfer your $ into a PHP a/c.聽 These companies pay a very good exchange rate not like some American companies.

I dont pay any extra fees with Citi and keep min balance. Have acct in Phil, Sg and US. Metro and BPI do give better rates if I physically convert USD to Peso. So I transfer USD then withdraw, convert to peso and redeposit it.

BPI or BDO are both good

base on what you have suggested maybe ill go for BPI

thanks guys!

I have聽 BPI account only needed a passport to open account, no charge for express savings if you keep balance聽 above P2,000, it really depends on where your at, if their聽 is聽 a聽 BPI, BDO,PNB they are聽 all ok

Good day Friend, Bank of Philippine Island.聽 Kind regards, Orly Philip
