Opened an account in BDO 2 years ago kasi mababa ang kanilang requirement $100 lang as compared to others $500. Not to mention mas cute ang kanilang tellers.

hindi naman nagkakalayo, ex ang ps bank mas mataas magbigay
compared sa metrobank, ang bpi-family rin mas mataas kesa bpi.

ilang years din kami meron sa bpi family pero last year nilipat
namin sa ps bank. 0. something lang ang difference.

lipat lipat lang pag bumababa ang rate that way mapipilitan sila
bigyan kayo ng special rate instead na ilipat.

If it's a dollar account, you can withdraw in dollar naman and sa money changer ka na lang magpapalit para mas okay ang rate. Suggest ko na place magpapalit sa Padre Faura lampas lang ng Mercury Drug okay yong hilira ng money changer dyan at 5 years na ako nagpapalit sa lugar na yan. Mababa talaga exhange rate sa bank. Ako kasi 10 years na sa PNB before Citybank pero 'langhiya biglang naging $10K ang MB from $1K

BDO maganda ang rates pag palitan amongst banks.

had the chance to compare these kasi with I-Bank (in Morato) and with a local money changer in Cubao.

im using BDO for my dollar account. mas ok rate sa kanila at laging namang nasa depositor ang options kung gusto mong withdraw in dollars at sa kanila ipalit or sa labas.

saka mababa maintaining balance sa kanila lalo na pag OFW ka.
