One of the largest banks in the Philippines, Banco de Oro (BDO) is running a lending business, a business that needs constant flow of money coming in. They're in the banking sector which needs a large amount of money deposited in order to sustain its lending business.

Ask k lang po sana.. Confused kasi ako.. Kakaopn k lng ng junior savers account para sa baby ko. Gusto k lang malamn ifpwede k bng i withdraw ung money from the passbok.. Besidw sa name ng baby pangalan k dn kasi nklagay sa passbook niya? Slamat po sa sasagot
Now ko lang na notice yang service charge na Php300. At pansin ko, one time na chinarge ng BDO for Nov, Dec 2017 and Jan 2018. 6 yrs na ako sa kanila, at hndi bumababa sa maintaining balance ang nasa account. In-email ko sila with screen shots ng online banking account ko. Ngayon lang sila nag ganyan. Ano sasabihin nila, tumaas na ang maintaning balance? Sana nagbibigay sila ng notice di ba. Haaay BDO, PhP900 ang binawas niyo sa account ko. Hindi napupulot yan sa kalsada. Nakaka lungkot
Nung nag open ng account ko sa BDO sabi 5000 lng maintaining balance ko tapos nagulat ako 7 months na pala sila ng charge sa akin ng 300 pesos, nagtaning ako kanina sa teller bakit ganun , sagot niya sa akin 2014 dw since ng start mg change yung mantaining balance ko ng 10,000 peso, wla mn lng notice? Ganun agad?
Good day mam/sir, I have a 2000 pesos minimum balance in my atm debit card but last few months i withdraw it all,what will happen to my account?hoping you answer Thank you!!

Gud day mam/sir, I have a 2000 pesos minimum balance in my atm debit card but last year i withdraw it all,what will happen to my account?hoping you answer Thank you!!
Tanong ko lang po kung kailan ba yung BDO nag co-compute ng peso atm account(without passbook).. halimbawa may 2000 ako sa account ko tapos nag withdraw ako bukas ng 2000 kailan ako makakakuha ng penalty?
Tanong ko lang po kung kilan ba yung BDO nag co-compute ng penalty sa passbook account, kasi po twice na akong na penalty ng 300 pesos. I just want to know kung kailan para at least makapag deposit na ako agad before yung cut-off nyu to avoid penalty and charges.

is the penalty of falling below the maintaining balance is penalized daily or counted as 300 pesos daily? if not how comes that when my account falls in 500 pesos remaining and when i deposited 2000 after 5 days, i checked my account but it was only 920.36 pesos remaining instead of 2200 if we're going to deduct the 300 penalty. Can you explain this.
Hi, if i fall from my mainataining balance for only a week, will it still be deducted the 300 peso penalty? Even if i deposit again and complete the maintaing balance of 10000 before the end of the month

Good day, my mother receive a letter from your office about my account there I have checking account in bdo Timog and the balance is 500 but charge of 300 I don't know how to close my account because I'm already live here in USA thank you Melanie Guidote
My mom has a BDO Peso Saving Account but it wasn't used for almost 4 years, on her last transaction it was shown that she still have P30,000 deposited in her account. Is there any possibility that the money is still withdrawable? And also, she has a ATM card. Is this still activated evn it wasn't used for 4 years? Hoping for your reply! Thank you.
I am holding peso savings account with passbook my balance is above minimum already but everytym i send money in my account there is a 300pesos service charge generating system, I am just curios why like this because before no any deduction happening.
