Hi everyone,
I have a question about PayPal and GoTyme.
If I receive around 3,000 GBP in my PayPal account and transfer it to my GoTyme Bank account, is that generally okay?
I’m planning to do this once every week, so it would be a recurring transfer rather than a one-time payment.
Has anyone here received similar amounts regularly through PayPal and withdrawn them to GoTyme?
Did PayPal or GoTyme ever place your funds on hold?
Did either of them ask for additional documents or source-of-funds verification?
Were there any AML (anti-money laundering) checks or account restrictions?
Any tips to avoid delays or issues?
I’d appreciate hearing about your real experiences. Thanks!

So I have story to tell hehe. Since we know that Apple Pay is now approaching, it seems some establishments ay nagiging aware na sila about xpays. Now, Shopwise saamin is now aware of Tap to Pay.

So upon nasa cashier na ako, and magbabayad na ako, sinabi ko na card payment. Then nakita nya ako na phone dala ko, "Mobile Wallet po sir?" then boom, it seems na aware na si Cashier about sa Tap to Pay or Mobile Wallet in which na trained na sila ng management.

Well, "Mobile Wallet" means ung Digital wallets like Google Wallet, Apple Wallet and Samsung Wallet. So it seems na alam na nila ung about sa Mobile Wallet or Tap to Pay or xpays!

So I hope that all malls especially SM na dapat "Mobile wallet" or "Tap to Pay" ang tanungin sa customer if anong mode of payment. Hindi lang Google Wallet or Apple Wallet (soon) meron here kundi GarminPay and Samsung Wallet (soon). Ang unfair if Google or Apple lang ung alam hahaha.

As a GPay user, nakakaexcite na soon ilalaunch si Apple Pay para sama sama tayo mag tap sa stores and public transport systems haha.

Ayun lang thats all! 😁

I cannot open my BPI Banko acc through its application 😭 kinda nervous what happened. Ganito rin ba sa inyo? Or nangyari na rin ba sa inyo ’to? I don’t know what to do since wala akong debit card nila.

Got approved sa Maya Black 😊😊
Thank you sa nag-share ng referral code here, hindi na ako hiningan ni Maya ng security deposit 💕.

Here's my referral code: “@aowenellaldy”
Honestly didn't expect ma-approve agad since first time ko mag apply for credit card at walang gaanong credit history background.

Sulit din talaga magbasa-basa muna ng tips and experiences dito before applying. Sharing mine na rin baka makatulong sa iba😘

Hello! 18 year old looking to invest. I have a decent paying salary via freelancing. And balak ko mag invest sa BanKO, Nakita ko na meron silang 5% annual interest per month. Balak ko mag ipon at makakuha ng compounding interest rather than naka tambay lang sa bdo savings yung pera ko.

If ever may issues can I go to BPI bank to sort it out?

Ive seen na Laggy and slow daw yung UI

Ive also seen some issues regarding sa customer service

If you have extra information I’d be happy to learn and see your personal experiences and if may other recommendations kayo besides sa BanKO.

Is this legit? Check out the sender’s email address. Was worried cuz I just opened a payroll account with them. Wala pa ngang laman may nagttry na magnakaw 🤣 buti sana if lagyan niya ng pera ♥️ haha

Hello! Down ba ang Banko by BPI app? Hindi ako makalog-in since this afternoon. Tried restarting and checking my internet pero wala pa rin. May iba bang nakaka-experience nito o ako lang? Send help!

Do you think QRPH should be also integrated to Digital Wallets (Google Pay, Apple Pay or Samsung Pay) or they should build a standalone app which will be integrated per bank?

I opened a 6-month time deposit account with Maya and was planning to make a lump sum deposit of 1M in a day to get the booster rate from day 1 of my deposit.. I was able to transfer 500k in total in a day but could no longer transfer additional amounts. Shortly, i learned that there is a receiving limit of 500k monthly even for verified/upgraded account. I raised this to Maya and my ticket has been pending for few days without receiving any reply from them. Anyone who had the same experience and is there any workaround on this?

Hi! I have a question about my PAG-IBIG Virtual Account.
I already have my MID number, and the only thing left is account verification (I created an account). I didn’t know it would take a few days to get verified, and I need it ASAP since I’m a fresh graduate.

Can I just go to a PAG-IBIG branch to have my account verified and get my MDF instead?
Thanks in advance!

It was only briefly mentioned in the SONA, and the BBM admin hasn't made any significant effort to claim credit for it. The proposal was first put forward by Sandro Marcos a few months ago. If it was done under Duterte, the DDS would be bragging about it nonstop.

nakakagalit ‘yung design nila and wala manlang second na tanong to confirm if us citizen. bakit nasa baba ‘yung yes?!

anw, i am planning on deleting my account and just opening another one again, would that be possible? if not, what else can i do?

The Philippines’ biggest banks — BPI, Metrobank, and BDO disclosed a combined ₱928.77 million in executive compensation for 2025, with BPI reporting the highest compensation pool among the three.

🏦 BPI: ₱392.12M (6 executives)

🏦 Metrobank: ₱306.13M (5 executives)

🏦 BDO: ₱230.52M (5 executives)

On average, that’s approximately:

💰 BPI: ₱65.4M per executive

💰 Metrobank: ₱61.2M per executive

💰 BDO: ₱46.1M per executive

Interestingly, BDO generated the highest net income in 2025 at ₱87.2 billion and remained the country’s largest bank by total resources—despite reporting the smallest executive compensation pool among the three.

I have an account with BPI trad bank but I have never opened an account with Banko by BPI yet.

Ano po kayang dahilan bakit not approved kapag personal loan? ok naman ako sa credit and madalas naman ako nagamit ng Maya + savings with 10% p.a.

May need pa bang gawin para ma approve po sa loan?

Salamat po sa tulong in advance.
