We went to PNB (Philippine National Bank) today to open accounts. My sister in Canada who’s helping me migrate there is sending money for me to use in the processing of my papers. Unfortunately, her choice of bank is PNB. Why unfortunately? You’ll see why as you read on.

We came at around 12:00 noon, there were few clients, so I guess we would have no problem. We will be opening two types of accounts - a regular savings account with passbook and a time deposit account. As we approached the counters and inquired, we’re fortunate to approach the right person to open our time deposit. For the regular savings account however, we were told to approach another clerk!

I just registered my cellphone for BPI Mobile Banking, finally after years of seeking information on how this thing work. Bank branch personnels I have asked before are clueless about this and their customer service hotline gives too much a mouthful that you’ll definitely be lost along the way.

But I have been doing online banking for years now, so I guess informations must also be available on their website.

Registered my cellphone and account number and tried to give it a dry run while I still have a small balance in my account.
