Opening an account at a Branch

To open an account at a BPI branch, all you need is your Citizen's Card and a payslip, and some details will be filled in automatically. If you don't have your Citizen's Card PIN, you'll need to bring proof of address. Then just fill in the missing information, sign it and you're done!

This does not replace consultation of the attached table of documents required to open an account.
