I just attended BDO's Kapihan at Park Inn and I never knew all these new services were available now for clients interested in banking with BDO. From all the innovations that make bank transactions easier and help you skip the lines, online services, e-wallets, and Cash Agad services, there's a BDO service for just about anybody looking to manage their finances better.

Kapiahn Forum Panelists: Ms. Ana Ong (VP and Area Head of Davao), Ms. Grace Caguioa (First VP and Head of Cash Management Services (CMS)- SME Segment), Mr. Roy Villareal (First VP and Head of Digital Banking), and Mr. Jim Nasol (Senior VP and Head of Agency Banking)

I'm a working mom and time, as of late, has become the most expensive commodity for me. I have to constantly balance work with valuable moments for my children. This simply means I need to find the most efficient way to complete my tasks to be able to give that to my little ones. So you can just imagine how excited I got when I learned about the services BDO had to offer that would help me get my banking tasks done faster and more efficiently.

Universal Teller Machine

This machine takes away the need to queue for bank transactions as it covers check deposits, updating passbooks, cardless transactions using QR and biometrics, cash deposits and withdrawals, paying bills and more. 

Honestly, having to line up to get all my banking business done is one of the reasons I avoid going to banks. I hate the idle time I have to sit there and wait. The Universal Teller Machine certainly makes this so much easier for people on the go like me.

Service Assist Machine

I really appreciate not having to do manual forms in banks. Better for our carbon footprint and its less hassle for the customers. With SAM, you simply enter your transactions digitally without needing to write anything down, and you just sit and wait to be called with the teller knowing what service you need when you get there.

Online Branch Booking and Online Account Opening

Want a hassle-free visit to the bank? You can schedule your appointments online now by visiting www.bdo.com.ph/book-your-visit. Just enter your transaction details, save the QR and visit the branch of your choice.

Interested in opening an account with BDO? You don't even need to go the the bank. You can do away with the manual paper forms and choose the deposit product that's right for you. You can even apply for loans and credit cards now.

BDO pay

This payment app lets users pay directly with their BDO Bank account or credit card without needing to cash in. You can Scan to Pay, Send Money, Pay Bills, Request Money, Split Bill, Have access to BDO Rewards and Bills, when you need cash---so QR withdraw. Frankly, I do most of my work and shopping with my phone and I always have it with me wherever I go. This service actually makes it so much easier for me to shop or pay for bills.

Busy moms will certainly appreciate the move to going digital. It's great having access to all the important banking transactions through an app that packs a punch.

Junior Savers

Another delightful thing to add which I asked about during the Kapihan is the Junior Savers for my kids. Did you know you can open an account for your chikitings from ages 0-12 and with the minimum initial deposit just being 100 Pesos? As your kid's signatory, you can access your child's account with your online banking account and put in your contributions for their savings as well as the cash gifts they get for birthdays and Christmas. After 12, it becomes a regular account that belongs to your child but you can keep sending money to them and continue to teach them about financial literacy and the importance of saving money.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you found this information useful for precious mommy time management and starting financial literacy with kids early. Save time with your banking errands and get more time with family. BDO truly finds ways for busy moms like me.
