Update: BPI Postpones New Rates to January 2019
Just in.
BPI has postponed the implementation of the new rates concerning the deposit and withdrawal transactions to January 2019.
Here’s the official statement sent by BPI to Tech Patrol.
MEDIA STATEMENT | July 4, 2018
We understand our clients’ concern on our Bank Anywhere facility, in light of our decision to update fees for certain over-the-counter Peso cash deposit and withdrawal transactions effective September 1, 2018.
We have decided to postpone the implementation of the branch transaction fees for Peso cash deposits and withdrawals to January 2019. This will give our clients enough time to be more familiar with our other existing Bank Anywhere facilities via our online and electronic channels.
Rest assured that we are committed to a long-term digitalization journey that will enable us to provide a more convenient and efficient banking experience for clients and greater financial access for every Filipino.
Our online banking website and mobile app allow our clients to perform transactions such as funds transfer and bills payment with added security and greater convenience.
Furthermore, we are expanding our ATM network coverage to 2,600 by year end, allowing clients to withdraw, pay bills, and transfer funds, among others. Our over 750 cash deposit machines now allow cardless deposits and accept new peso notes.
Fees for transactions other than Peso deposits and withdrawals will take effect on September 1, 2018, as previously announced.
