BPI easy saver savings account will let you have a savings account in BPI with just P150.00! Plus it doesn’t have a maintaining balance. Whoa! It’s a great deal for Pinoys who want to start saving their money.
It is a great option if you want to open a savings account with very low initial deposit and NO maintaining balance.
You heard it right kabayan! You don’t need to worry about ‘closed account due to not sufficient balance‘ because BPI easy saver does not require any single centavo maintaining balance.
All you need to know about BPI easy saver savings
This short article will share easy steps and requirements you need to know how to open a BPI easy saver savings account here in the Philippines.
Update: Easy Savers hold the 5 Pesos as a “maintaining balance” so you will see a discrepancy in your account, and if you withdraw everything in your ATM with an Easy Savers account, it will go to a negative balanced state which will close your account.
BPI easy saver savings account Requirements
- 2 valid IDs (original and photocopy)
- Billing statement – Latest Meralco or Maynilad bill will do(doesn’t need to be under your name but address should be the same as your current address)
- 2 copies of 2×2 or 1×1 photos
- P150.00 initial deposit
*New requirement:
- TIN number (in earlier part of 2016, almost all establishments doing financial transactions ask to require TIN numbers from their clients/customers)
4 Easy steps to open BPI easy saver savings account
1. Go to the nearest BPI branch in your area. Tell the banker that you’re going to open a BPI easy saver account.
2. Fill up the application form and submit all necessary requirements advised by the bank teller. Make sure to double check all the information.
3. The bank teller will process your application. Once done, they will give you your BPI easy saver ATM card.
4. Change the PIN of your BPI easy saver ATM and you’re done!
You have now your BPI easy saver account. The P200.00 initial deposit will not immediately reflect on your balance. You can check that later on.

BPI easy saver Review and Conclusion
Based on personal experience, the BPI easy saver account is a good alternative. It can serve as your emergency fund savings account or can be your savings account itself.
I’m using my BPI easy saver for online transaction and it really helps a lot. This is our alternative aside from other BPI savings account I have which my company provided for our salary.
I can transfer money back and forth from this account to our other BPI account online and I’m not worried about maintaining any balance since it’s not required. I also didn’t experience any issue with my BPI easy saver account.
If you’re looking for a savings account with NO maintaining balance and low initial deposit in a good and stable bank, BPI easy saver might be the best option for you.

Hi! I would just like to ask if it’s okay if I cut the last 2 digits of my account number? BPI easy savers account had 10 digit account numbers. Apparently, paypal is asking for only 8. What should I do? Would it make a difference? Is it necessary to include all the 10 digit account numbers?

April says
As far as I know, you can’t link BPI’s Easy Saver account to Paypal. Iirc, only those debit cards who have VISA or MASTERCARD logo are acceptable to use for paypal account verification.
I have BPI Easy Saver, but I have used Smartmoney to verify my Paypal. You can also use RCBC eWallet (not sure about the account type/name).

Kimberly Kileste says
Hi, any update regarding this? Is it possible to link bpi easy saver to payoneer to transfer funds? Any update is highly appreciated.
Billy says
Hello Jay-Ann, valid id is required but in your situation I cannot provide exact answer. The best way is to go to the nearest BPI branch in your area.
Billy says
Yes Bianca. I’m also using this one when my brother remit money from abroad.
Mye says
Hi.. Do you have an idea if you’ll be also charged for service fee as a recipient? My aunt sent me money to my payroll account (which is also bpi).

Nope. They only charge before sending the remittance. Thanks!
Billy says
Yap Portia. My brother remit money from Abu Dhabi through my BPI easy saver. 🙂
michelle says
Hi billy. What did you gave to your brother for him to be able to send money from abroad? The card number or account number??
Billy says
Account name, account number and the branch. And then we’re good. He’s sending his remittances up until now. 🙂
Billy says
Same with what happened to us Chi. The valid id is for your identity validation and the proof of billing is for your current address validation. So it’s ok kahit magkaiba basta valid or updated. 🙂
Mae says
Sir how to apply joint savings account in Land Bank…? Or BPI easy saver..?
Billy says
Yap ashley. Proof of billing doesn’t need to be in your name. But the address should. They will only use it for address verification. 🙂

Hi. How much is the maximum allowable money that an Easy savers account can contain?
Billy says
I’m not sure with this Ms. Mayie. I’ll check it and get back to you.
Billy says
Mximum deposit amount is not stated although the maximum deposit insurance is P500,000 so I think the account can hold more than 500k. 🙂
Mira says
Is it ok if I only have voters id and nbi clearance also billing statement to open an account?

Billy says
Yes!
Lyn says
Hi Billy! If this card can be linked to Paypal, will BPI charge me if money transfer from paypal is of other currency? If yes, how much would it be?

Same process with other savings account Jade. You can deposit anywhere from BPI branches using your account number. Not sure about the minimum deposit though.
Billy says
Not sure with what you read Anthonette. For my own experience, I was able to see my balance after opening the account. The BPI teller told me that the initial P200 pesos can be widthraw although I didn’t try it. 🙂

Bigwas says
I hope someday BPI will sell a product like Union Bank EON Debit card where there is no minimum balance to maintain, Depositor just pay a yearly fee of P350 which is affordable.
David says
Hi Billy,
Thank you for this informative article. I have been intending to open this type of account with BPI but I have some questions that you might be able to answer:
1. Can I opt for a bankbook instead of an ATM card? Or do they even have that option? The reason why I don’t want to have an ATM card is because I am always tempted to spend my money. So if I don’t have the luxury of a card my money will be safe. Haha.
2. Do they accept a school ID as ‘valid ID’?
Your response is much appreciated!
Billy says
BPI easy saver is for ATM savings. They have separate savings account for passbook. School ID is ok as long it is valid but you need to have other supporting documents aside from school ID.
OYE says
CAN I USE MY BPI EASY SAVER ACCOUNT TO AUTOMATIC DEBIT ACCOUNT FOR MY INSURANCE
Billy says
I guess yes but haven’t tried it. I’m using my account to auto debit to my COL financial account. 🙂
Elaine Rochelle Talusan says
Hi, how do you apply for COL autodebit? Do I apply it in the COL platform or BPI online? Right now, I pay my COL account via biills payment option in thr BPI app but I prefer to make it automatic so it continues to pay for it even during rough times and Im second thinking on investing. Thanks!
Billy says
Hello Elaine, it’s also via bills payment but I ‘scheduled it”. In you BPI online account, you have the option to schedule a payment and make them automated. Hope it helps. THanks!
eliza says
tanong ko lang po may laman ung atm ko ng 1,555 nag winidraw ko ung 1500 dibale natira nlng sa bpi ko is 50pesos mag close ba ung account ko nun?
Billy says
Nope, there were months that my account only holds P5 and up to now it still active. As mentioned, it doesn’t have maintaining balance. 🙂
Mary Grace Bautista says
I thought company ID is valid, but im wrong. its not valid. I only have 2 id’s as of now, NBI and Company iD. Meaning to say, im not capable to open an easy saver account?
Billy says
I’m not sure if NBI will be considered, on most of the bank branches, company ID can only be use as supporting ID. You should have atleast 1 government or main valid ID.
Grace says
What if I will present the sss e1. i dont have yet sss ID.
Billy says
SSS E1 is not considered a valid ID.
loren says
ask ko lng meron na akong atm dati ginamit ko yun for 5 years, the natigil ako magwork for 1 yeqr,..pede bang ipa active nalang yun sa PBI bank or i need to apply for new atm card ng BPI?. since nag uumpisa na ulit ako sa work ko
Billy says
You may need to re-apply for a new one if that account was closed. Or better to talk to your BPI branch to see other options. 🙂
ann says
Hi po ask ko lang po kung may charge ba pag huhulugan ko ung account ko?

Billy says
Yes, it only took 1 hours for me. Once the account is active after you changed the PIN(24hrs) most of the time, you can start using your BPI Easy saver. 🙂
Pam says
Hello. is it really necessary to submit the billing statements? and may I know what alternative papers can I submit if I don’t have billing statements? Thank you!
Billy says
From personal experience, yes! But it doesn’t need to be on your name, it needs to be on the same address as your current address.
kit says
hi ask ko lng po. kaht magknu bah puedi mu ideposit??
Billy says
I don’t think there is a limit for deposit though the insured is P500k for a depositor. 🙂
Jay says
Hello, pashare kakaopen ko palang kahapon ng easy savers account
(Heto mga hiningi sakin):
-2 valid ids (postal at voters id dala ko) + photocopy.
-Proof of billing(meralco bill dinala ko present address).
-250 pesos for atm fee(50), initial deposit(200).
-2pcs 1×1 picture(pero isa lang kinuha sakin, dalawa na para sigurado).
-then fill up nyo lang yung form na ibibigay.
Yun nga lang next week(wednesday) ko pa makukuha yung atm di ko na natanong kung bakit matagal..
Billy says
Thank you Jay, I updated the article with the photocopy of the valid id. 🙂
Ana says
My Postal ID and Company ID are not valid according to BPI Branch in Bonifacio Global City, Net One Bldg. They even told me that Postal Id isn’t Honored by the BSP. is it true?
Billy says
Those are IDs are considered supporting IDs by most of the banks. Better to present SSS, Driver’s license, passport and other primary valid ID.
Jl says

Hi Sir! I only have one valid ID which is my school ID because I am still a student. Can I use my current registration form as an alternative of another ID? Thank you!
Billy says
Not sure Angelic, please check with the bank. God bless!
Cherry Pie says
Hi po. I just want to clarify things. One of my friends told me po na even if you will check your balance, there will be 5 peso charge and another 5 pesos po when you withdraw, so a total of Php 10.00. Is that true? Thanks po. Have a good day 🙂
Billy says
No charge if you check balance on BPI ATMs and via online or app. For withdrawal, yes there is a charge. 🙂
Mary Faith Trinidad says
Hi! Can I bring Voter’s ID and Police Clearance as a valid ID for opening an account?
Billy says
I can’t guarantee, please check with the bank. Thanks!
Casey says
Aside from the bills, are there other examples documents that can show my current address?
jeffrey says

Hi. My bpi easy savings bank is deducting me with 30pesos every end of the month. Do you have any idea about that?tnx.

Did you check your transaction history? Please note that every transaction deducts P5! 🙂
rey says
Yes. I already checked my history through online banking. Aside from 5 peso deduction from my withrawal. There is 30 peso deduction at the end of every month.
Billy says
Not really sure for that rey. You might need to check with their customer service or your BPI branch. Thanks!
rey says
Yup.thinking about that.tnx btw

AQUESHIA says
Sir if ever i have my easy saver account already and i want another one, can i apply for it. Thank you

Another easy saver account under your name? No really sure. What’s the purpose of having 2 accounts though? 🙂

2. Pwede din ba gamitin sa mga restaurants to?
3. May age limit po ba ito?
4. Pano pag na maintain yung balance na 1000 per Month. Automatic naba papasok yung interest sa atm?
Billy says
-Yes, it will work as a normal debit card that can be use for physical shopping(not online).
-Restaurants and other establishments accredited will do
-As far as I know, 18 yrs old above(not sure)
-interest is computed p.a(per annum or annually)
Renz says
May fees ba na babayaran pag nag shopping?
Chris anne says

Im not working and studying as of now, so how can I get or open an account? My aunt will give me money by this bpi easy saver for me to be able to have my allowance and tuition for upcoming semester.

Mian says
Very helpful!
JAYAR says
Hello sir, did you try checking your balance thru atm? Bakit sbe ng iba may bawas daw P5.
Other question what is the minimum withdrawal in BPI ATM?
Lastly, when you withdrew 30k or more than over the counter do they still charged 100 pesos or is ito free of charged?
Billy says
If it’s BPI that shouldn’t have fee. We’re using BPI app or online and no charge when checking the balance, not tried thru ATM machine though. 20k is the minimum withdrawal. Yes P100 will charge.
Ashley Lubi says
How can I deposit into my Savings account? Does it required any value in depositing money. I USE easy saver!? Thanks. GOd bless.

Dina says
Hello..i have a question..i opened an easy saver account at bpi, but i have to wait for 1 week before i can have the atm card and the bpi officer told me that when i get back to get my atm card i should provide a TIN. Now, my question is, what are the other option/s?…to be honest i cannot provide a TIN because i don’t have a work..my brother told me to open a bank account for him to be able to send me a remittance..
Billy says
Did you advised the BPI that you cannot provide TIN as of the moment? Probably they have other options for you. I’m not sure if it is a new process. Banks getting tight security these days. THanks!
Lavinia says
itatanong ko lang po sana kung okay na po bang valid id ang barangay id at postal id sa pagopen ng account ng easy saver saka kung kelangan pa po b tlga ng tin id bago dw irelease ang atm?
Pie says
I went to BPI last Monday bringing my alumni ID, philhealth ID, tin ID, company ID, NSO, youth ID and billing statement. They didn’t allow me to open an account because only my company ID’s valid. 🙁 I don’t why they didn’t accept these IDs of mine. What will I do? Help. 🙁 T___T
Jhen says
Hi! Can i transfer money from my passbook savings account to easy saver thru mobile banking? And another, i am confused about the maintaining balance of passbook account. Is it 10k or 25k?
Billy says
As far as I know Jhen, passbook savings account can only be monitored online not able to do transactions e.g transfer. Maintaining balance is 10 while balance to earn interest is 25k. Thanks!

Karla says
Hi Billy. Regarding the valid id’s and billing statements. What if the address on my valid id isn’t same as the address on my meralco bill?
P.S We recently moved that’s why. Thanksss! 🙂
Billy says
On my personal experience, the bank requires me to have a billing statement with the same address I use on the application. Not sure if it’s the same with other BPI branches. THanks!
Karla says
Thank you. Does the address on the meralco bill needs to be the same as the address on my valid id? Or it’s okay if not? Thank you in advance. ^_^
Ayanne says
Hello! I tried to withdraw using my Express Teller ATM and the machine said my card is not activated. Do I still need to activate it over the counter?

Hi billy, i just wanna know why i cant withdraw?, nag deposit ako last week through express deposit. Tpos yung total balance ko may laman tpos ung available balance ko is 0.00. what happen po?
Billy says
Are you checking online or thru ATM? It should be in savings. If still not, maybe you need to contact the bank. Thanks!
arrgel says
ives ganyan din ang case nung bpi-acct ko. sa total balance lahat pumapasok ng deposited amount. dec 2015 lang nagkaganyan yung sakin, dati naman okay yun. kakainis, di makawithdraw. di ko naman maayos kasi im working abroad. mas ok pa ata sa ibang bank na lang mag open ng acct, yung mas reliable.
Billy says
Try to call their customer service. They might be able to check why that’s happening. Thanks!

rudj daganzo says
Hi a blessed day to you!
I just opened a BPI Easy Saver’s account yesterday.The
teller was really nice and I got my ATM card right away!
When I got home and checked my papers, the teller actually
gave me the envelope that says “initial deposit” with
money inside.Was it a mistake or I should really
be the one to actually make the deposit
(at an express deposit machine).Thank you in advance!Please answer!
P.S.
I tried calling BPI but that branch’s number has a busy
tone for like forever.
Billy says
That could be a mistake! Try to check your balance and see. Thanks!
Serge says
Hi. Can I use this for shopping online in Ebay, Lazada, Amazon, etc. ? If not, how can I use this for online shopping?

May says
Billy, pwede ba na Mom ko mag oopen ng bpi easy saver account pero sakin ipapangalan?

Robert says
Hello,
I have a few questions. is there also a 300p fee, if Minimum Monthly Average Daily Balance is not reeched, and how much would that minimum balance be?
Can I send money to this account from Belgium, and are there any costs?
Billy says
No minimum balance required. Yes you can send money from abroad, there would be a certain charge/cost when sending the money as remittance here in the Philippines. And then P5 cost when withdrawing here in the Philippines. THanks!
Robert says
Oh I forget. Are there any other cost related to this account?
Billy says
P200 is the initial deposit or opening cost required. Thanks!
Princess says
Is it ok if I only have postal id and school id also billing statement to open an account?

Hi! I was supposed to open an easy saver account and I really wanted to save-up after my father got sick . . . So I went to BPI with the requirements, thinking that I can save with low initial deposit and no maintaining balance . . . But unfortunately, they wont let me open an easy saver account, they said its or students only 🙁
Billy says
Naah. What branch did you try? I was able to open and I’m not a student. Thanks!
mimi says
Thanks for the response 🙂 it was at Marikina branch . . . I guess i’ll try on a different branch
tracy padilla says

Billy says
Yes!

Marcelo says
Hi guys i open for my personal savings account @ BPI Easy saver account. i will share what i experience yesterday.
i ask the guard which line is for opening account and then he said in # 6 then he give me a number card.
then when my no. called the teller ask me what type of account i would like to open then i said “Easy Saver”
she said if i already complete my requirements
2×2 pic – 1pc
2 valid id – original and xerox
1 Tin ID ( if student i don’t if school id is allowed)
1 billing receipt ( take note make a photocopy of it) i forgot to xerox my billing so that i fall in line again tsk hassle so make sure you already photocopy of all requirement needed. so i fill up all the information required, then my number called.
my initial deposit is 250 pesos although they ask you how much would you like to deposit. and then she said i will go back @ thursday 4 business days to claim my ATM CARD which is i confused that billy got his ATM card right away when he open an account. but anyway maybe its different branch process.
and also there are many clients na nakasabay ko a student, kids , which is good that anyone can open an account.
im so excited and happy that i can open a bank account for a small amount of deposit and no maintaining balance required! thanks for this blog and the author of this. 🙂
Billy says
Thanks for sharing your experience Marcelo. This will help other readers. As I’ve said, some branches can provide you the ATM right away but most are not. It really depends. Thanks again!
Leo Jem says
can I have 2 easy savers account? 🙂
Billy says
What’s the purpose? Not sure if it’s allowed under the same name holder. Thanks!
Joshua says
Hi can you tell me what “initial deposit is?” I open an easy saver account and the initial deposit that I gave is 3000. Does that mean that my account cannot have lower than 3000?
Billy says
Easy saver initial deposit is P200. If you gave P3000, maybe that’s a normal savings account. Initial deposit is usually the same with maintaining balance so you need to maintain those amount. Thanks!
Ed says
Hello, how much is the charge if I trasnfer the fund from my BPI Easy Saver’s Account to my other BPI account? Thanks
Billy says
None if you’re using online. We’re doing that back and forth and we’re not seeing any charges. But when we transfer to other people’s account, there is a charge. Thanks!
kris says

Super accommodating ng staff at mabilis lang ang naging process nila (BPI Family Saving Bank, Metropoint Mall Pasay Branch). 🙂
Billy says
Nice Mark. Congrats!
Danielle says
May I ask po if the Barangay clearance together with a school ID can be considered as 2 valid id’s in opening an atm account?It’s because I don’t have any valid ID aside from my UP school ID and I need to open an account asap. Thanks!
Clim says
I will try this one
I wish I could get it like the blogger and the others
Nica says
I I just want to make things clear out. Can i link it to paypal? As far as i know, Paypal only accept visa/mastercard and has only 2 digits at the back? Did you link you easy saver card to paypal successfully?
Billy says
Based from friends and other articles online – yes. Unfortunately I’m not linking my BPI to paypal. If I did, I’ll give my personal experience. Thank you.
April says
Yep! As far as I know,only those cards who have visa/Mastercard logo can be used to verify a paypal account.
SONY says
Hi i already have my ATM and i’ve already change also my PIN
and then i enroll it tru express online site but it says my card will activate after 20 days so does it mean after 20 days saka palang ako mag start to deposit?
and then it says 3 days after would reflect the amount i deposit to my account?
why is that process takes too long?
also i want to add funds on my epay bpi so that i can purchase or buy items online but i will wait 20 days before i can start any transaction are you aware of this also billy? thanks for your reply 🙂
Billy says
I’m not sure why it will take that long for you Sony. It should not more than 48 hours based from experience. Please check with BPI customer support. Thanks!

Ernesto Tapnio says
Answer me pls.
Mae says
What are the acceptable IDs?
Dothackjhe says
Not sure if there has been any changes since 2 or 3 years ago, but back then (or at least in my experience), the ATM Card that will come with any BPI Easy Saver account cannot be used with PayPal as a means of its verification — You can only link it to it for withdrawal purposes, that is granting that your PayPal account is already verified.
2 years ago, I personally had to register for BPI’s e-Prepaid MasterCard (a prepaid debit card) worth 500 pesos just to have my PayPal account be fully verified.
Billy says
This is correct Dothackjhe. Thanks for the inputs!
April says
Hi. I would like to ask if have you already tried withdrawing Paypal funds to BPI Easy Saver? My Paypal account is already verified and afaik, there’s 150 pesos charge (250 deduction if wrong info were entered).
kris says
hi pde ba toh gmitin as credit card??
Billy says
Nope, but it can act as debit card. Thanks!

Joel Santos says
So, it’s 4/25/2016 and I tried applying for an Easy Saver account in BPI. I just want to share my experience, so everyone can get a heads up.
First off, the Easy Saver account is only available for students. Yep, that’s right. ONLY. FOR. STUDENTS.
And it took me an hour to find out too. Cause apparently, it takes about 30-45 minutes just to process one applicant.
Very poor cs from BPI and the website’s lack of info ( FOR STUDENTS ONLY ACCOUNT – that’s freaking 4 words ) is really… I don’t know… unprofessional? stupid?
Hopefully you guys had a better experience, but I’m definitely not going back there anytime soon.
john so says
REALLY??? I DONT THINK SO THAT THIS ACCOUNT IS FOR STUDENTS ONLY. MAYBE THE BRANCH YOU ARE GOING TO OPENED IS THE UNPROFFESIONAL ONE TRY DIFFERENT BRANCH.
Stephen says
Good Day. I have a question. will my easy saver account deduct 5 pesos if I apply to regular subscription plan(uitf)? Thank You

Hi. Good day! I just recently opened an account so that my father can send the money for this incoming enrollment. Do you know how much is the withdrawal limit in one day? Thanks in advance!
Billy says
BPI has a limit of 20k per day. Thanks!
bhel says
can i apply for easy saver even if i have only 1 valid id?
April says
Are you a student? Yes, you can use just your school ID.
Jane says
Hi! I tried to open the Easy Saver’s Account but the CS said it was only for Students. Has this always been the case or was this a recent change? Can you suggest any other account (or bank even) that has similar features of this account?
Billy says
Not really sure why some branch are giving this kind of information. Many readers were able to open this account including me so I am not sure if it’s a new process or what. Maybe you can try other branch? Thanks.
nomer singson says
good day, i just wanna ask how much is the lowest amount that i can deposit in the easy saving account?
Billy says
No minimum deposit info was provided Sir Nomer. Thanks!
Ellaine Perez Herrera says
Hi! Mahigit 8 months ko ng di nahuhulugan yung account ko, pero may balance naman sya.., is there a possibility to be closed or still active at hindi sya nababawasan? Pls response. Ty
Billy says
As long as it doesn’t fall below maintaining balance there will be no deductions and it will remain active. Thanks!
Kim Edgar bustamante says
kailangan po ba na ang isa sa mga valid id’s na ipresent ay tin id??? tnx po
Airamae says
Hi i just want to ask if allowed to join account to easy saver account thanks 🙂
Airamae says
Can i use easy saver account in the other country thanks 🙂
Billy says
Nope it’s only for BPI. Thanks!
April says
Try ATM that has the same logo that can be found in the card. Afaik, that’s how it works for international use.
Ellaine Perez Herrera says
Ay akala ko po ba no maintaining balance ang easy saver? Easy saver din po kasi sa akin. If so, magkano po ang maintaining balance? Pls. Response. Ty.
Billy says
No maintaining balance. thanks!
Christa says
Hello.. Yung sa ID.. pwede po yung school ID diba? Eh pano yun lng po yung ID ko..
vance says
Hi, I do not have and ID’s right now. I lost my student ID and I a freelancer. Can I use Birth Certificate and Police Clearance as ID? since it is found in the list of bpi’s accepted ids list. let me know what you think, thanks
Philip Rodriguez says
Hello first of all, thank you for your guide. It really helps me alot. But before I research on this BPI easy saver’s account, I already tried opening an account. Im presenting my Philhealth ID and Postal ID to my teller and she doesn’t accept it. Those id’s are secondary id’s she told me. She needs is SSS ID, driver’s license, passport, etc. Is that true that Philhealth and Postal ID are not primary IDs?
Joseph says
Hi Philip. Maybe try another branch? When I opened a BPI Direct ATM account a few years ago they accepted my Postal ID and Philhealth card. Research online and/or ask BPI on their Facebook account to get some clarifications. Hope that helps.
Joseph says
Is it possible to enroll a BPI Easy Saver’s account even if I have a BPI Direct Savings account? I hope there are multiple BPI account holders who can answer my query. Thank you in advance!
Billy says
Yes. We have multiple BPI accounts and no issue. Thanks!
Joseph says
Thanks for answering. Just to clarify, do you have more than one BPI savings accounts? I plan to apply another one.
Billy says
Yes, we have 4 actually. 2 for personal and 2 for the payroll of our company. Thanks!
Jeanette says
Im a student but just a minor, can I bring just my school even if the requirement is 2 valid IDs ?
SHEILA says
HELLO. Yan bang easy savings account kahit ba 250 lang ang ilagay ko pwede na poh ba dyan magpadala saakin ng pera from abroad?
Billy says
Yes!
SHEILA says
Please Answer my comment thank you and god bless 🙂
Dreu says
Bank teller told me only students can open this account type. Ended up opening a Save Up account for my payroll.
Billy says
In what branch Dreu? Wondering why other readers telling the same but others are not. Mine is a regular savings account and I am not a student.
Sam says
Why is it that on the BPI website, the requirements when opening an account say:
Valid ID with photo and signature
1×1 ID picture
Initial deposit
Utility Bill reflecting address
Source: https://www.bpiexpressonline.com/p/0/18/savings
This is different on you posted. Clarifications?
Billy says
Hi Sam,
What’s the difference? I think they are the same. And to add, this was my experience when I opened the account. Hope this helps. Thank you!
marj says
Hi billy ahm ask ko lang po kakaopen ko lang ng account ko and today naibigay yung ATM ko after changing the pin sinubukan ko magwithdraw ng 200 sa 500 NA initial deposit ko pero ayaw nya bakit?
Jamaica antoneth sapico says
Sa easy saver savings pg nka maintain ka po 1000 s accnt m dba my interest..kelan nman papasok ang interest dun s accnt m?
MM says
Hello Sir! Kahit sino po ba pwede maka open ng Easy Savers? Kasi yung cousin ko nag try mag open tapos di sya pinayagan dahil for students lang daw.
Billy says
Been getting this feedback this past few months but others are able to open even if they are not students. I was able to open too and I’m already working and not student. I’m not sure if there’s a new process or update or it may really depends on the branch. I’ll check it out and update this article once I have more info. Thanks!
Len says
Is this compatible for payroll?
Billy says
Hi. Not sure but I use this for my personal savings. Thanks!
Kristine says
Hi Sir, I’m from Mindanao and currently staying now in Las Piñas with my aunt for 2 months now.
I want to open an account in BPI but my documents were addressed in Mindanao.
Will there be any complex in my IDs and my aunt’s billing statement?
Nini says
When remitting money from abroad, converted to peso na po ba dapat ang ipadala sa bpi easy saver account mo? Thank you!
Billy says
In our case yes. My brother remit from UAE and it was converted to peso by the remittance center there. Thanks!
Minette says
Super helpful blogpost. And also just to share, I opened my BPI Easy Savers acct. yesterday. Hassle-free as long as you have the requirements. What I brought with me were:
PRC ID (the teller told me that if this was the valid id brought, no need for another ID. however, I still had an extra one, my Unified GSIS/SSS ID, just in case)
1×1 photo (the teller only took one, but I guess it won’t hurt to bring at least 2)
TIN number (i dont know if this varies per branch)
Fees (200php as initial and 50php for the card itself)
Photocopy/ies of IDs brought
After giving the requirements, just fill-up the forms needed.
She told me that my acct is already active and my ATM card will be ready for pick-up after a week (depends on the branch). The whole process oly took me at least 20-30mins.
Again thanks Billy for your post. I hate going to places unprepared since it gives me anxiety, and this article really helped ?☺ More power!!
Billy says
Thanks Minette!
Marilyn Pabalan says
What is the requirement for a student 15 years old to apply and bring

Ryan says
and also dont forget to bring the initial deposit which is P200 and P50 for that card, overall P250.00
Ryan says
Can I use this easy saver account in buying things online like in Lazada? Thanks
Billy says
Nope. It is a savings account and debit card and not a credit card. Thanks!
Johnrey says
does this includes a regular atm card or a debit card?
Billy says
Both Johnrey!
mark says
Hi po pwede po ba malaman if qualified po ung billing address ko? Kasi po ung nasa id ko po na address ay iba po ung number address na nakalagay sa billing address ko po ok lng ba yun?

Billy says
I got mine within the day. That’s 3 years ago. Thanks!
Mark says
Are there any atm cards from bpi which doesn’t require any maintaining balance aside from easy saver?
Chris says
I’m planning to apply for a BPI Easy Savers account at the Commonwealth Branch (the one in Barangay Holy Spirit) within the week but I just have a few concerns:
– If I only have a Driver’s License (+ Photocopy of it), will this suffice? Or will they ask me to present another Valid ID?
– Do I still need to bring a Utility bill for the Billing Address verification?
– My TIN number is still in process, is there any chance that they might not ask for it?
If any of you guys have had an experience with the BPI Commonwealth branch, your input will be very much appreciated!
Billy says
Your license + a billing statement are good to go chris. Thanks@
Rie says

Hi. I am planning to open an account, a student account specifically. And I heard that I need to bring my registration form and my ID. Unfortunately, my ID doesn’t have my signature in it. Another is I lost my registration form. Are there any substitute requirements? Reply ASAP. THANK YOU.
Kei says
Can i use bpi easy card to pay in zalora and lazada? Thank you.
Rhea says
As clarification sa paglilink sa Paypal, yung bank account pwede i-link pero yung atm card hindi, dahil Visa, Mastercard, at afaik Diners at American Express. Eh EPS ngayon yung card ng bpi so hindi yan malilink sa Paypal. At yung fee, kapag mahigit 7k ang iwithdraw mo gamit ang bank account, libre yan.
Billy says
Thanks Rhea!
jm says
so we can only use this to verify our paypal account.
Ian says
does BPI change the price of the card? I applied for easy savers account and i payed 350. 200 for the deposit and 150 for the card.
rosette says

bernard says
id ng aswa ko is police id ang brnggay id only pde nb ko mkgopen ng account nun?
Mark says
Hello sir Billy!
Thank you for this post, just a quick update regarding Easy Savers account
It’s card fee is now 150 Pesos. Every withdrawal transaction will cost 5 Pesos (through BPI ATM, shopping, etc.). Inquiring balance in other ATMs will cost 1.75 Pesos and withdrawing in them will deduct 15 Pesos. Easy Savers hold the 5 Pesos as a “maintaining balance” so you will see a discrepancy in your account, and if you withdraw everything in your ATM with an Easy Savers account, it will go to a negative balanced state which will close your account.
Mark says
Withdrawing over-the-counter will be free, if you withdraw an amount of 20,000 and above.
Billy says
Thank you Mark. Will update the article. Cheers!
JONALENE ZAPANTA says
hello. can i open an account even if i have no tin no.?
Kevin Keanu Ong says
Nope. Apparently all financial establishments required TIN number when making new transactions. You can easily apply for a tin number on BIR. You just need a list of requirements that shows you need a tin number, birth certificate and a duly accomplished form 1904.
mikay miranda says
ahmm ask ko lang po pano pag walang tin number tsaka po isa lang po id ko student po kasi ako
Ef-ef says
Hi po, ask ko lng po. Meron po akong express card para sa payroll namin. Can I apply for another one tapos hindi na po for payroll? thanks..
Kevin Keanu Ong says
Sir may I ask? how long before the 5 pesos deduction will be reflected on my account? I withdraw 2 times earlier and my savings still not deducted.
Fatima says
Paano po un ?? Housewife lng po ako gsto ko po sna mgopen ng easy saver account peo voters lng po ang id ko
Mary says
No activity for more than 6months now
has less than P200 balance i think. can i still use it?
Justine says
What if I don’t have a TIN number?
Bizz says
I am so glad na nakapag open ako ng easy saver account! Nagpasa lang ako ng 2 IDs, Student ID and Passport, and I am a student! Kahit pang grade 10 yung id ko (ngayon grade 11 na) tinanggap pa rin! Very easy!
Wilbert Varquez says
nagpasa ka po ba ng TIN ID?
Jade says
Sir what if I’m not leaving on the same address as per stated on my proof of billing, kasi nag wowork po ako ngayon oit of my own city? Can i still use the proof of billing ng may ari ng bahay?
mon says

Charmaine says
