If you have an account in BDO you can easily register for online banking and take advantage of their online banking services.
Using BDO online banking you can do almost everything with your money without leaving it in front of your computer. As I mentioned above, you can transfer funds to another local bank account, it’s very convenient and hassle-free since you don’t need to withdraw your money and then deposit it to another bank.
The only disadvantage of transferring funds to another bank account online is the service charge which, if you do it manually it’s free.
There’s a service charge of Php 25.00 for every transfer that you make using BDO Online banking. If you don’t want to pay the service charge, you can do it manually, but you also pay for your fare if the bank is far from your place and the time that you waste when you go out.
