Actor and entrepreneur Alden Richards is known for taking on challenging roles on television and in movies. In his latest video, however, no acting was needed. He appeared as a happy BDO client, showing how the bank makes everyday banking easier.
“When I hear BDO, unang pumapasok sa isip ko is safety. I feel safe because they’ve been here for 50 years, and I can confidently say BDO is the right partner for me,” Alden said in an interview.
Digital tools for everyday banking
In the video, Alden meets a customer who is stressed about finishing a long list of transactions inside a branch. He steps in to show how BDO’s digital tools can help, such as the Universal Teller Machine and the Service Assist Machine (SAM).
The Universal Teller Machine does more than a regular ATM. You can deposit checks, update your passbook, and even make transactions without a card by using QR codes or biometrics.
SAM also makes branch visits easier. Instead of filling out forms by hand, you just enter your details in the machine. You then get a queue number and can wait more comfortably until your turn.
BDO also has the Account Assist Kiosk. With this, you can open an account without paper forms. You can also apply for loans or credit cards. The kiosk verifies your identity using biometrics or a debit card and PIN, then pre-fills the forms to save time.
Banking that fits your lifestyle
Alden shared that most of his banking today is digital. He rarely carries cash and uses BDO for both daily expenses and bigger purchases.
“It’s all about going digital na talaga ngayon. That’s exactly what BDO is doing — going digital to offer more convenience to its clients,” Alden explained.
Still, he values that BDO branches have officers he can talk to when needed. He likes that he can ask about many financial products and services in one visit.
In the video, Alden also introduces the customer to BDO Connect product specialists. These specialists can be reached in person or online to explain more about loans, credit cards, insurance, and investments.
“I’ve been a BDO client for more than a decade already. And I appreciate kasi that BDO offers different options for me in the branch. Para hindi masayang ang pera ko. Meron talagang personal advice para lumago ang savings mo,” Alden recalled.
Easy access online or in-branch
Alden, with his busy schedule, always plans his bank visits. BDO clients can do the same by booking an appointment online through www.bdo.com.ph/book-your-visit. This helps manage time better.
For those who prefer banking at home, BDO allows clients to open an account online at www.bdo.com.ph/apply. The process takes only a few minutes with a phone or laptop, a valid ID, and a short video call with a BDO representative.
BDO offers flexibility by combining personal and digital banking. Clients can choose what works best for them, whether visiting a branch or doing transactions online.
Like Alden Richards, you can bank at BDO branches nationwide and enjoy the best of both worlds: digital when you want it, personal when you need it.
