I choose EPCI because I can use their Fastnet Fund Transfer quickly, since last week of Oct it's always says" Sorry fund transfer in unavailable to a third party account" then "this function is under maintanance" I e-mailed their customer service center and nobody even care to answer my inquiry, I made an overseas call to where my branch is located and nobody there knows what's going on to their bank, it's really frustrating. They even passed me to their officer of the day but she does'nt know anything either. She said she will call their headoffice and ask them. If they merged to BDO why does this will create such a big mess to all depositors like us here working abroad n trying to help philippine economy by sending dollars to our relatives. What I want is at least somebody from the bank can explain in details why this is happening and at least advise us to wait till they resolve all this issues. Just to make us sure that they are trying to fix all this mess in their banking system.
It sounds like a security feature, you should thank them. Try sending a US Postal Money order.

Hi,
I am about to start a travel website and would like to be able to accept credit cards.
Because the number of transactions will first be low I though about offline credit card (getting a credit card machine and entering the transactions one by one into it). Will a bank allow me to do it?
Will I be able to get a credit card terminal to charge both in PHP and USD?
Otherwise I though about online credit card processing but:
- Asiapay need the business to be at least 2 years old
- BDO asks for a USD10000 deposit
Do you know if any company will offer better terms?
You would be better off on inquiring with big banks regarding conversion currency as the fee may vary from time to time.
Banco De Oro BDO Internet Banking review
What I like about BDO Internet Banking is that it is so easy to use. They don't have so many frills at all --- no complicated pages and tabs to click on that would direct you from one place to another. Plus, most of the third party merchants I am a subscriber of is on their list, which makes it more easier for me to pay my bills.
I also have accounts in BDO (payroll, savings and checking) but haven’t tried this online banking because they have so many accessible branches and transaction is faster now. You are right, sometimes BDO has downtime during paydays and I experienced it on their ATM machines, maybe because of their so many clients doing transactions during payday.
