Acceptance of Deposits - The Bank may accept your deposits in cash or check, or similar instruments such as money orders/ treasury warrants. In the case of check deposits, the Bank acts only as your collecting agent in receiving your checks and other items/documents for collection. You further agree to assume full responsibility for the correctness, authenticity and validity of all endorsements appearing on the checks or other items deposited to the Bank. Drawings may not be made against such check deposits, until actual payment has been received by the Bank, or full proceeds has been collected from correspondent banks, in accordance with: (i) existing BSP/Philippine Clearing House Corporation (PCHC) rules and regulations; or (ii) clearing or collection arrangements made with correspondent banks, in case of checks denominated in foreign currency.

The Bank is authorized to effect any adjustments on what has been credited to/debited from the Accounts to, among others, correct any error or mistake committed, without need for any further instrument, deed, consent or authorization. Should the Account balance be insufficient to allow debit of such amount in order to correct said error or mistake, you hereby authorize the Bank to debit the said amount plus interest and charges, if any, from the time the amount becomes due to the Bank, from any other Account in your name, whether singly or jointly with others, or whether maintained with the Bank or any member of the BPI Unibank or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates. This is without prejudice to the Bank's right to consolidate, transfer and set-off your Account balances as set forth hereinbelow.

    8.



Minimum Account Balance - You shall maintain account balances at the agreed/required monthly average daily balance (ADB) computed as follows:

The Bank may impose and collect service charges and/ or maintenance fees on Accounts, whether active or dormant, where the Account balances: (i) have fallen below the required minimum monthly ADB, for dormant accounts; and (ii) have fallen below for at least two (2) consecutive months, for active accounts. Any Account with zero balance, regardless of status, may automatically be closed by the Bank.

You agree not to close the Account within one (1) month from Account opening and hereby authorize the Bank to immediately and automatically effect a one (1) month partial hold-out on your Account, in an amount equivalent to a maintenance fee as specified in an attachment herein which shall be made an integral part hereof, or in such other amount as may subsequently be prescribed. You agree that in the event that the Account is closed within one (1) month from Account opening, the maintenance fee shall immediately be paid and the amount subject of the partial hold-out shall automatically be applied to the payment of said fee.

You ensure that you are always aware of the details of the required minimum monthly ADB, and all the applicable service charges, maintenance fees, and penalties, which are available upon request or published/posted within the Bank’s premises and/or its website, whichever is applicable.

The Bank may waive the maintenance of the monthly ADB. The Bank, however, retains the option to lift/cancel such waiver for whatever reason.

The current service charges, and / or maintenance fees and the required minimum monthly ADBs for various types of Accounts, products, services, facilities and channels, as well as changes and updates thereof, are/will be included herein as attachment(s) and made integral part(s) hereof. Likewise, such current charges and fees, including changes or updates thereof may be available through, among others, the various Bank channels, or otherwise, and may be posted on the Bank's websites, ATM on-screen messages and in conspicuous places within the Bank premises and other places near the Bank's ATM.

Provided, further, that failure of the depositor to manifest or register his objection to the new service charges and maintenance fees or any change in their terms and conditions in writing within thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of written notice of amendment shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of such changes.

        The savings passbook is issued to assist you in monitoring your transactions and account balance. However, since your Account allows you to transact business even without the savings passbook, through your ATM and such other Bank channels, the amount of balance shown therein will not be conclusive, unless updated and verified by the Bank after comparison with its records.

In the event of any discrepancy between the entries in the savings passbook and the Bank’s records, the latter shall prevail. Savings passbooks are not transferable. Only duly accomplished withdrawal slips containing signatures, using the English or any other Anglicized alphabet, in ink or other means of writing with a character of permanence shall be honored.

      (e)








Each of the surviving Accountholders shall immediately notify the Bank in writing of the death of any one of the Accountholders. If the surviving Accountholders fail to give such written notice of death and the Bank allows withdrawals on the Joint Account before receipt of said notice, it is deemed that the surviving Accountholders have exercised the right of survivorship. Upon receipt of the written notice of death, the Bank may hold in the name of the surviving Accountholders all moneys and items standing to the credit of, or by way of security for, any service or product in the name of the surviving Accountholders, it being agreed that as joint owners of the Joint Accounts, you have the right to survivorship, subject to such applicable provisions / requirements of law including, among others, payment of taxes, and any claims / debts which the Bank or any heir or third party may have. The surviving Accountholders hereby hold the Bank free and harmless and indemnified from any and all taxes, claims / debts and liabilities arising from or in connection with this survivorship provision.

Further, you agree and authorize the Bank to make disclosures of information regarding your Account(s) to: (i) third persons and entities to facilitate implementation of the Bank products, services, facilities and channels; or (ii) such bodies/agencies having regulatory authority over the Bank, or having regulatory authority or jurisdiction where your checks, deposits, withdrawals or fund transfers pass / are cleared / transmitted or delivered; or (iii) such other persons or entities the Bank may deem as having authority or right to such disclosure of information, as and when required by the circumstances, as in the case of: (a) the Bank’s participation in any ATM network, electronic fund and/or credit card network; or (b) resulting from the Bank's outsourcing of its functions, such as but not limited to, compliance with Know Your Client ("KYC") requirements, completion of signature cards and Customer Information Sheets ("CIS"), signature verification, distribution of account opening kits, remittance to and remittance from your Account(s) and printing/processing of bank statements.
