Banco De Oro Unibank (BDO) is owned by the SM Group of Companies (no wonder why every SM branch nationwide has BDO on site). It is considered as the largest bank in the Philippines.

For two consecutive years (2008 and 2009), Banco De Oro has won people's trust based on Reader's Digest Trusted Brands for Bank category, leaving behind Bank of the Philippine Islands and Metrobank.

Their minimum average daily balance requirement for peso passbook savings account (with or without ATM) is PHP 5000. With this amount, you can already secure your future.

One of the advantages of banking with Banco De Oro is its flexible bank hours. Their mall branches are open during weekends, which is beneficial for working individuals. This is probably one of the reasons more Filipinos are investing in this company. Or is it because of their image model—Piolo Pascual?
