  11. i think there will be no deduction for the balance Inquiry. btw this info's helped me a lot. im so frustrated checking the banks info about easy saver but there's none=(( anyway. thanks again=))

    ReplyDelete
  12. ooops sorry didn't notice the question of anonymous. Well, yes, no deductions for balance inquiries. :)

    And you're welcome

    ReplyDelete
  13. how much is the interest rate?

    ReplyDelete
  14. bpi is known also for no charge when depositing interbranch that's why it is most preferred, i'll open my easy saver savings account when the weather got better.. ;) thanks for the info

    ReplyDelete
  15. your welcome spirujoy and thanks too! Hope the weather is now ok there :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. can i use these for paying? and how much will be the necessary balance to use it? thanks

    ReplyDelete
  17. hi, yes you can use your easy saver account like a regular BPI ATM card on paying your purchases with EPS as long as you have enough balance to pay the amount of your purchase. No need to worry for a maintaning balance. Remember every purchase using your account will also charge you 5.00.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Etong card po ba na to, visa/mastercard?

    ReplyDelete
  19. parang may bawas pag nagiinquire ka magkano balance. i dunno. kanina ksi my deposited money was deducted 5.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Hmm.. P5 per transaction is not a good idea on my book since I do a lot of transactions using my BPI ATM (bills, groceries, withrawals, loads etc). I prefer BPI Direct Savings Bank instead.

    Your P500 minimum maintaining balance earns double interest i.e. 1.375% p.a. as compared to just 0.625% p.a. of a regular branch savings account including easy saver accts (but I heard rumors it's going down to 1.25 later this year).

    And for even higher interests, once you have your BPI Direct Savings account, you can even apply for a separate time deposit account without the hassle of dropping by the bank each time it matures because it will automatically be given back to your savings account on the date of maturity, just activate your bpiexpressonline account after you open a savings account.

    You can apply online with no cash out through http://www.bpidirect.com. Then get your ATM and make your initial deposit of P500 at the branch of your choice.

  23. ^ I opened an Easy Savers account kanina. I asked if it is possible to "upgrage" to a regular ATM account if ever di ka satisfied. Sadly, sabi ng baba sa desk, hindi raw pwede. You have to make a new BPI account.

  30. What should i do if yung mga bills hindi nakapangalan sa kin? pwde po ba yun?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Alam ko okay kahit hindi sayo nakapangalan yung bill as long as sa family member mo nakapangalan. My sister-in-law opened her ATM account using my phone bill.

    I just applied for an Easy Saver account kanina. Ang sabi naman sa akin ang may deductions lang na P5 is all debit transactions, so all transactions against the money you have in your account (withdrawal, outgoing fund transfer, EPS, bills payment).

    ReplyDelete
  32. I just called the BPI hotline kanina to confirm which transactions ang may P5 charge and the customer service rep echoed what was explained to me kanina when I opened my Easy Saver account. Debit transactions lang daw talaga ang may P5 charge, any transaction that takes away money from your account balance.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I too have an Express Teller account and i wanted to switch to Easy Saver. Ang advice sa akin is just to open an Easy Saver account, enroll it sa expressonline, transfer all my funds from my old Express Teller account to the Easy Saver account, and then once mag-zero balance yung old account, it will automatically close.

  34. BPI or BPI Family SAving?san pwede apply?salamat

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. apply ka sa bpi not bpi family savings.. kasi mas madami ang bpi na branch kaysa sa bpi family savings. kapag dun ka sa bpi family savings nagopen.. hindi ka makakatransaction sa bpi mismo.. dapat hahanap ka ng bpi family savings branch.

      Delete
  35. Pwede bang mag bayad ng groceries through your BPI atm card (savings account) kahit below Php500 nalang ang balance? For example, mag grocery ako ng worth 300 tapos 400 nalang ang balance ko.. Possible pa ba yun?

    ReplyDelete
  36. can i use it from international payment?kase im planning to use it for my online job?

    ReplyDelete
  37. expired na po mga ID's ko... ano po ba pwedeng alternative?

    ReplyDelete
  38. pwedi ko ba magamit BPI atmcard ko pag nag grocery aq//

    ReplyDelete
  39. Wow! what took me so long to visit my blog!? Hindi ko po alam kung anong ibang option if expired ang ID. But I know any Government ID's, Postal ID, tinatanggap ng BPI.

    Pwede po gamitin ang Easy Saver sa groceries kahit below 500 nlng ang balance as long as enough pa to pay the items you are buying.

    Hmn... online, I think pwede. :)

    Salamat sa lahat ng comments! Please feel free to visit again :)

  44. Nhie i think wala naman required initial Deposit amount pero wag naman yung halimbawa pupunta pa tyo sa bank just to deposit 50p? Safe n siguro ung 200pesos. They wont ask kung bakit ganun lang amount ng deposit mo.. Its your account so you handle it your way...

  45. question guys!nag-open kasi ako ng easy saver sa bpi mga september, tapos nung magdedeposit yung kapatid ko nung friday closed acct na daw sabi ng teller. nagtataka lang ako kung bakit, kasi diba zero maintaining naman sya so bakit ikoclose nila at last ko to nagamit nung december.

    1. you might have visited one of our caravans. Your sister/brother should be able to deposit strictly in the dates given, as they will remain inactive for the dates after thereof. If he/she still has the atm card, visit the nearest BPI branch, and ask our staff to have it reactivated. Simply deposit lang the required minimum and pa.assist ka for an atm card activation right away. hope this answers your query.

      Delete
  46. yeah, hmn...??? have u asked the bank na?

    ReplyDelete
  47. I would rather it be a well-known-ish bank, and preferably not an online-only bank (unless they have amazing rates and you have been with them for over 6 months without any problem whatsoever).

    For those who want to open further, or you have relatives and friends who are interested, let me know. I can facilitate an account opening for you. I'll make it easy and just require one government issued ID :) if you're in Metro Manila and you are a group of 5-10, I can do a client call for you.
