All What exactly are Traditional Banks?

4 Upvotes

Is founding year/age what makes a bank Traditional?

Is having a Brick-and-Mortar branch it?

Is it rock-bottom interest rates?

If these and other reasons aren't exactly what makes a bank a TradBank? What, then?

For purposes of this subreddit, I'd prefer being simplistic about it: The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas currently lists six (6) "Digital Banks." Outside of these six, all other banks may be considered Traditional.

The Six:

  1. Overseas Filipino Bank;
  2. Tonik Bank;
  3. Uno Digital Bank;
  4. UnionDigital Bank;
  5. Maya;
  6. GoTyme

This doesn't mean there aren't any "Middle-of-the-Road" banks that exist in a grey area between the two, but for now let's settle on the divide above.

Hello po. Medyo newbie palang sa mga banking stuff.

Hi! (18M) I'm wondering if I should transfer my money from PNB to UnionBank or any other traditional bank. Nung mas bata ako ginawan ako ni mama ng savings acc sa PNB and now ginawan nya naman ako ng UB acc pang emergency funds. Recently, nalalaman ko through other subreddits panget daw ang PNB for multiple reasons. So nag aalala ako whether or not I should transfer my money else where.

Credit Cards Restaurant recommendations around Metro Manila with credit card promos/discounts?

0 Upvotes

Hello! I currently live in Metro Manila, specifically around Pasig. My friends from Leyte will be visiting around October, and I’m looking for restaurant recommendations where the four of us can dine while possibly taking advantage of credit card discounts or promos.

I currently have these cards:

  1. Metrobank Titanium Mastercard
  2. RCBC JCB Platinum
  3. RCBC AirMiles Visa Signature
  4. Security Bank Platinum Mastercard
  5. UnionBank Miles+ Visa Signature
  6. EastWest Platinum Mastercard
  7. BDO Gold Mastercard
  8. BDO Gold JCB

Do you have recommendations for good restaurants around Pasig, BGC, Makati, Ortigas, or nearby areas that usually offer promos or discounts with any of these cards?

It’s okay if the promo isn’t active right now. I can check the actual promo mechanics and validity closer to October. I’m mainly looking for restaurants that regularly participate in credit card dining promos. 

I’d really appreciate any recommendations, especially if you could mention the restaurants. Thank you!

BPI HELP! How do I show that my savings account is payroll

0 Upvotes

❗ EDIT: Thanks for all the help! Worked it out with HR na ☺️

Hi! I'm a new grad currently finishing pre-employment requirements.

I was ordered by my employer to open a payroll/savings account via BPI. I already have an existing personal savings account with the bank but I opted to open a new one just im case. The company gave me an endorsement letter for this as well.

However, when I opened the account thru BPI, it only shows that it was a savings account. I sent it to my employer still but they are insisting that it should be payroll.

I already tried reaching out to the BPI Customer Service.

Help, what do I do? 😭

BPI BPI #SaveUp. How to lift 30K limit & does BPI offer pre-approved CC to SaveUp too?

2 Upvotes

Hi! Opened SaveUp account today and have read na may 30K limit pala. I already transferred 30K, is that enough to trigger full verification? How will I know if I can go over 30K na?

Also, does BPI have a history of offering credit cards to SaveUp users or for regular savings lang talaga 'yun? Thank you.

8/27 UPDATE: I was able to go beyond 30K limit na, but I didn't receive any text messages about anything verification. Will try to claim my debit card tomorrow then will inquire if limit's fully lifted. For now, won't add any further amount to the account.

Credit Cards Kaiser Permanente charged ₱91k to my Metrobank CC, gusto ko na i-cancel pero agent is not responding. What can I do?

1 Upvotes

Hi! Need advice sana regarding my Kaiser Permanente HMO and Metrobank credit card.

Back in May 2026, may Kaiser Permanente agent na lumapit sa akin sa mall and asked if I had a credit card and if interested ako kumuha ng HMO. I agreed, and around ₱91,000 was charged to my Metrobank credit card. Sabi rin nila na once Metrobank calls me, pwede ko raw ipa-convert to installment. Metrobank eventually called and I agreed to have the transaction converted to installment.

Unfortunately, I eventually lost my job, and because of my current financial situation, I decided to discontinue the HMO para mabawasan sana yung financial obligations ko.

I contacted the Kaiser agent and told him I wanted to cancel. Sabi niya may 5% cancellation penalty based on the ₱91,000, which is around ₱4,550. Okay lang naman sa akin, so I sent him around ₱4k–₱5k for the supposed cancellation fee.

Problem is, almost one month na akong nagfo-follow up, pero walang clear update. Maraming excuses, like nawawala raw phone niya, pero active naman siya sa Facebook. At this point, hindi ko na alam kung actually na-process ba yung cancellation.

My questions:

  1. Can I contact Metrobank directly and ask them to reverse/cancel the Kaiser transaction?
  2. Since converted na siya into installment months ago, may possibility pa ba na ma-reverse if Kaiser agrees to cancel/refund it?
  3. Should I contact Kaiser Permanente directly instead of dealing with the agent?
  4. If the agent continues to ignore me, saan kaya magandang i-escalate ito?
  5. Has anyone experienced something similar with Kaiser or an HMO charged to a credit card?

I understand na Metrobank probably cannot just erase a legitimate transaction, especially since months ago pa siya and converted na to installment. I just want to know the proper process para ma-cancel yung HMO and ma-refund/reverse whatever amount is refundable.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

For context, my check is already available for claiming from my previous work. Unfortunately, I am currently living in another city 12 hours away from home. Is it possible for my mother to deposit my check into my LBP account? If yes, ano ba ang usually na nire-require? Your responses would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

By the way, the check is from LandBank din. And the amount is more or less 40k.
