Top 10 banks in the Philippines

Update: Largest Banks in the Philippines (2009)

Banco de Oro (BDO) is now the largest bank in the Philippines, in terms of both assets and total deposits.

This is according to a report of comparative sizes of Philippine banks which I got from my bank.

Until 2007, Metrobank was the largest bank. As of December 31, 2008, however, Banco de Oro has overtaken Metrobank and has grabbed the title since.

BDO’s rise to the top is primarily due to its merger with another big bank, Equitable-PCI Bank, in 2006. Clients are also flocking to BDO because of its longer banking hours and presence in most SM malls.

In 2008, Metrobank slid to #2 in terms of both assets and deposits. Trailing Banco de Oro and Metrobank is Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI).

Here is the list of the biggest banks in the Philippines in terms of assets and deposits. Figures from the report were taken from the published financial statements of the banks concerned.

Why Filipinos do not become business owners or entrepreneurs

For a majority of Filipinos, entrepreneurship does not seem to be a typical, expected path. This is not surprising, considering that in school, students are primarily taught to become employees after graduation. Students train for years to become staff workers, reporting to a supervisor, and just waiting to receive their wages or salaries every month. ... Read more

  1. PNB yung pinaka gus2 kong bank and yung BDO. pareho silang pangmasa and sila rin yung bank na hindi matitibag pwera nlng kung bumagsak ang pinas. dapat nilagay mo din yung rank according to waht benefits is the best.

  2. mas ok para saken yung BPI at METROBANK.. mas maganda service nila at mabilis.
    ok lang din ang banco de oro kaso mabagal sila saka nakatayo pa habang nakapila ng mahaba..

    • BPI works for me. Sila ang trendsetter pagdating sa technology, others follow. Online banking is superb. My only rant is making deposit, you have to stay at the line for you to be served. Sana baguhin na lang nila na ticketing service and seat at your convenience.

  5. No wonder why BDO comes at number 1. BDO is like everywhere, especially in Makati, all corners has like BDO ATM. Besides BDO’s servcie is faster and better compared to otehr banks who creates delays, long process of transactions and otehr excuses.

  6. @lily, deposit to another RCBC account ba yan na nasa ibang branch? May “provincial charge” nga yung ibang bangko pag ganyan. Dati, P50 ang provincial charge ng BPI pero ngayon ata tinanggal na nila ito.

    @Millionaire Acts, yun din ang mejo kainis sa BDO. Sobrang haba talaga ng pila lalo kung nasa loob ng SM ito. Kaya yung pinipili kong BDO branch, yung wala sa mall at nde malapit sa mataong lugar para nde mahaba ang pila. hehe..

  7. Basta for me, BPI ang number 1 sa lahat. Sa metrobank ang babagal ng tellers, the same thing with BDO, palibhasa mga young tellers kaya maaarte. di tulad sa BPI kahit mga young sila, mabibilis at magagalang pa!
    Sa iba pang bank, negative din comment ko kasi halos lahat ng big banks sa Makati naka-pagtransact na ako ng mga personal kong accounts. BPI is very good!

  8. In terms of profitability, pinaka malaking kinikitang bangko ay ang BPI. Doon ko binabase ang pagka-matibay ng isang bangko, yung kumikita ng malaki. Kahit ipagsama ang kita ng Metrobank at BDO noong 2008, they can’t still beat BPI’s net income. BPI cosistently has been the most profitable bank in the Philippines. Mas malaki pa ang kinikita ng BPI kaysa sa bangko ng gobyerno – Landbank. Not to be bias, pero para saakin, ang may pinaka magandang sevice ay ang BPI. Mabibilis at magagalng ang mga employees. Di ka na nila papaliguy-liguyin pag hindi puwede ang hinihiling mo – direct to the poing kung magsalita pero may galang. Ang babata nga lang ng mga empleyado ng BPI, total make-over, di lang yung hitsura ng bangko ang nag-iba – modern look, pati empleyado, ang babata. Di tulad dati, halos, puro matatanda ang makakahaubilo mo. Puwede ko pang gawin ang mga transactions ko sa ibang branches nila na di tulad ng ibang bangko, may mga transactions ka na sa branch of account mo lang puwedeng gawin.

    Net Incomes of the following bank as of January – December 2008:

    1. BPI – PHP 6.56 billion
    2. Landbank – PHP 5.02 billion
    3. Metrobank – PHP 4.4 billion
    4. Chinabank – PHP 2.9 billion
    5. BDO – PHP 2.2 billion

  11. – they BDO tellers are slow
    – Cashiers officers cannot explain properly why they have such requirement and which one is which?
    – for example: the listing on primary IDs and Secondary IDs, and how exactly do they combine it.
    – very maarte, and I’d rate their customer service -1. only looks are good, but that does not help me. And i’m trusting my money with this young snobs? I dont think so.

    – IN canada, we have older tellers, not the best looking one. But in terms of customer service, you can rely on them. A+

    – I agree, BPI service does rock! they are awesome and easy to approach.

    Reply
  12. Still, MetroBank is the best! They proved that they’re the best for the last 15years and still going bigger. Lets see if BDO can hold on this race for #1 bank. If they can manage to keep their #1 spot for the next couple of years, That’s the time they can prove that they are the best. Unlike MetroBank, I think they’re focusing to be stable and not affected in the global crisis.

  13. …sa lahat ng bdo branch mahaba ang pila pero kaya naman nila i-handle. kc khit 1 tao ang dame transactions..paano ginagawang bayad center ang bdo.
    and compare sa ibang banks like bpi at metro ang tatanda ng mga tellers nla… kaya medyo mabagal kht 1 lng ang transaction mo.

    Reply
  14. I agree with what a lot of you have to say. There are banks that have satisfactory customer service while other banks have a lot to be desired for. What currently disturbs me is the bias of these banks especially towards people in the provinces (i.e. outside Metro Manila). No offense to those born and raised and/or working in Manila right now, but this is especially apparent in background / credit investigations.

    Case in point, my friend, who happens to be a budding entrepreneur, applied for a credit card. Let me tell you that he is financially stable, has a senior management position in his family business, owns both his house & car, but he is young (at 21 years) and from Mindanao. I have another friend who applied who works in an entry-level position at a big Manila company–a yuppie–who lives with his parents in a modest subdivision. And although I love this friend, he is not the most financially stable–and more importantly–responsible.

    To make a long story short, the former’s application was declined while the latter’s was wholeheartedly approved with a sizable credit limit. I was, like, what?? It makes me sick really.

  15. Para sa akin BDO ang no.1 kasi ginagawa lng ng ibang cliente ng ibang bangko na bayad centre ang BDO eh tska in the first place (para to sa mga nagcomment sa taas na mabagal ang sistema/proseso ng BDO)eh kayo rin naman ang may kasalanan for example if you want to open an account on them syempre kailangan nila ng “valid i.d’s” so yun ang ipepresent mo at ang meaning ng valid eh mga govt’issued i.d’s ok?! gets nyo people above?! second yung capacity nyo kung saan nanggaling mga ariarian nyo! tska pagpasok nyo dapat alam nyo na purpose nyo sa bangko kung ano yung ikukulateral nyo or what so ever, kasi sila lng naman yung magooffer what kind of product fitted sa capacity nyo!, bout sa bagal naman na nabasa ko sa mga q’mags na nagpost sa taas, eh tanga pala kayo eh naisip nyo naba na nakakain naba yung teller na nasa harapan nyo para sabihin nyo na mabagal sila?! and they are in the peak of merging process sa system.

    Basta BDO ang no. sa akin kasi yung asawa ko dito nagtatrabaho. Lam ko hirap ng trabaho ng asawa ko lalo na’t isa siyang frontliner.. meron talagang mga tao na hirap umintindi sa kalagayan ng iba.. iniisip muna nila yung sarili nila..

    • baka cguro, kabilang ng nakasimangot na tellers yung asawa mu, pagkarating nya sa inyung bahay, panay sabi, buwesit mga depositors……kaya atat ka ng atat….dyan………..kahit anu pa comment natin….cla pa rin ang yayaman!

  27. After graduating college, I decided to opened a personal account at BPI last 2008. Unfortunately, as time goes by, I haven’t maintained its maintaining 3000Php because I resigned to my first previous job because of some personal reasons. There are 500 pesos left in my account but when I checked it, it became 400 pesos. The next time I checked it, it became 200 pesos then dropped to 100 pesos until finally, when I checked it, it says “you have no record with us”. I just want to know, what was happened to my account? Are those deductions is what you called the dormancy fee? If ever I decided to recover my account, am I going to pay such amount as penalties? Hope you can help me regarding this matter.

    Reply
  28. I think you are being charged with
    Fees for not maintaining your balance at metrobank.

    If you are concerned about maintaining balances.
    Avoid BDO, BPI and Metrobank.

    What i can suggest is Unionbank EON account with Visa
    NO maintaining balance on 350 pesos annual fee.
    They wont even close your account even its zero balance
    and no reactivation or something like that.

    You can swipe the card coz it has visa on it
    as long as you have a balance in the account.
    Swipe it like a credit card.

    I think its the best account in terms of charges.
    You can do online banking as well.

    In terms of service, matino kausap ang BPI hindi sila ng bobola, kung hindi pede hindi pede.
    200 php din yung min withdraw.

    In terms of stability, I think BPI is one of the best, if not the best. Kasi sobrang tagal na niya na bank (from the Spanish period pa.) unlike other banks, gov’t handled pa siya noon and now the AYALAs. Ilang economic crisis na din yung pinagdaanan niya, and they still stand strong. And I ask my professors, even my DAD, who are accountants and economists and they told me that BPI is their top choice. BPI is very conservative, this is very true – mahigpit sila. But, you can feel secure knowing that the Bank that handles your money is BPI.

  36. for me, matino kausap BPI yan first choice in terms of banking next Landbank and least choice ko BDO. super haba ng pila, mabagal transactions kahit na open sila ng weekend hindi parin ako satisfied sa service nila.

  38. Para sa akin ay maganda ang service ng PNB, Allied Bank at BPI. Ang lamang ng BDO sa kanilang lahat ay dahil convenient ang locations pero nakakadismaya ang service nila kasi nga pang-masa talaga ang target market nila. Maganda naman talaga ang BPI tsaka wag nating kalimutan ang ibang less commercialized (literally) banks like Bank of Commerce, PSB at May Bank.

Convenient lang kasi nga kahit saan me sm pero ang pila naman eh parang prusisyon kadalasan. Customer service can be done thru any branch call using their own line pero ang hirap talaga. Internet banking is so complicated like kung me gusto kang i-link na ibang bdo account sa sarili mong account eh maraming cheche buretse. Dito sa thailand, napaka easy maglista ng ibang account kahit ibang bangko pa. Thru sms lang verification or one time password na ise-send sa celfone number mo eh tapos na. So many ways for any bank to secure the accounts of their depositors without giving them a hard time or depriving them of a maximum convenience in internet banking. E-mail nga ang tagal din masagot, which is done within your own internet banking account. Hay naku

  55. bakit nag close ang banco filipino……sana bilihin sa BDO tulad ng ginawa nila sa PCI equitqble……kawawa na kasi ang mga depositor.

  56. kung ayaw nyo ng mahabang pila sa tellers, bkit pa kyo nag open sa alam nyong marami ang pila? hindi nyo ba alam na parang mga sales clerk na nga ang dating ng mga bdo tellers kasi even weekends on duty sila. kaya puro bata ang tellers nila kasi mabilis turnover ng employees. Meaning, hindi maganda ang benefits. heheh

  57. You kept on talking about BPI and BDO. How about other banks such as PNB and RCBC? I’ve heard PNB is currently re-branding, meaning they have a lot of stuffs to offer llike bank products, promos etc.

  58. BPI works for me. Sila ang trendsetter pagdating sa technology, others follow. Online banking is superb. My only rant is making deposit, you have to stay at the line for you to be served. Sana baguhin na lang nila na ticketing service and seat at your convenience.

  59. actually po, pnb unang nag online ng branhes (escolta, ermita and bacolod). sila din po unang nagka atm (escolta). pero bpi nga ang nagpasikat ng atm. bdo and metro bank naman pinaka aggresive sa marketing. walang bonus marketing group nila pag hindi naka quota. 🙂
    kababasa ko lang pnb is spending P400M for their rebranding. aggressive president nila ngayon.

  60. As I was once trying to check local banks around Quezon city area, I came across with BDO Cubao with my request for information on time deposit based on high interest rates that they can offer to any depositors. One of the staff answered clearly that “BDO does not need money”. Very surprising indeed on hearing such comment. My goodness!!

    • LoL those things maybe confidential and branch employee probably don’t know but if you really want to know you must ask in their main office in Makati. I guess it’s avl solution,

  63. I think each of us have our own reasons and experiences why we chose our bank. But, BPI seems to dominate on this discussion..Stability, profitability, conservative approach on their offered products, faster lane, shorter queues, convenience on their technology, etc.. Parang SM, “they got it all for you..”

    As for me, I really miss my BPI clients, especially my dear senior citizens..

  72. For me, BPI is the real no. 1
    In terms of service, mas mabigil then nagkaroon na sila ng BPI express Assist kung saan hindi mo na kailangang mag fill up ng form. re: naman sa online, easy talaga kasi magkasama na ang savings account and credit account mo. unlike sa BDO magkahiwalay at dami pang proseso bago ka makapagapply sa credit card online. Pero hindi naman lahat ng BDO tellers mataray o masungit dito sa BDO BF sa Parañaque, maganda ang service nila at approachable naman. pagdating naman sa process ng credit card 1 month bago mo makuha yung approved credit card mo unlike sa BPI na after ma interview sa phone. wala pang 10 banking days makukuha mo na ung card. talagang bagay lang na “Let’s Make it Easy” dahil halos all of their transactions are so easy and convenient talaga…

  75. Mag-Psbank na lang kayo!lahat ng reklamo nyo, walang ganon dito. Maraming branches, pd magdeposit at withdraw kahit saan, walang pila, asikaso ka ng tellers pati manager, may prime td na mataas int rate. Kun stability naman, subsidiary ito ng metrobank. May online transactipns din dito

    • Para sa akin bro sa BPI. Ok lang yun kahit above minimun ang sahod mo basta pinag trabahuhan mo. If mag deposit ka wala silang hinihingi sa service fee or other charges. Kaya for sure ok sa BPI bro.

      Reply
  81. Para sa akin in terms of Credit Card the best ang BDO most of the time my update at saka posting ng charges at payment mo sa phone man o sa email, kaya hindi ako nagkakapenalty kasi nakakabayad ako on time. Pag dating naman sa ATM the best ang BPI kasi pwd ka mag deposit 24hours sa machine nila tapos wala pang other charges na babayaran.
