aileen paparro [Entry]

is marriage certificate valid for check encashment?
Guest [Entry]

aileen paparro, marriage certificate is considered a valid id but it doesn't bear a photo of the holder/owner. You need a photo-bearing ID for check encashment. Examples of photo-bearing IDs are driver's license, postal id, company/office ID, school ID, passport, etc.
Memet Santiago [Entry]

Is two non photo bearing id can be accepted i opening a bank acct? For ex.. Police clearance & barangay clearance? Pls. Comply.. Thank you.
Guest [Entry]

Monette Olayao, if your Police Clearance bears your photo, then it might be accepted. But still it depends on the bank. Try to convince the bank that you badly need a bank account with the help of your friends who have friends in the bank.

mitchay [Entry]

hey i have a complaint for you hope ull do something about it. .I visited 2 bpi branches to open an account i brought with me my two valid ids (as listed above) the TIN and PHILHEALTH IDs however they refused to open the transaction they need a passport/drivers license/prc id its kinda unfair for those who dont have those kinds of identification cards. Its a discrimination for us. .if u guys wanted to keep me as ur customer please repond to the email that i provided. .im hoping that ull do something about it. . and by the way the bpi branches are located in ayala cebu! the new and the old one and ur bankers are rude. .i understand the pressure of working cause im also a worker but for me ill do my best to make my customer feel that we value their business. .hope u guys will do the same. .a life long relationship to ur customers. . thanks anyways. .
