Advantage of a Landbank Account

Landbank Ortigas branch



The main advantage of Landbank over any other bank is its locations.

Government Institutions You can expect to find a Landbank ATM or even a Landbank branch in government institutions, such as hospitals and city halls. This fact can become handy when it's time to pay cash for capital gains tax, property taxes, etc. at the Treasurer and BIR.

Provincial Locations Landbank can also be found in remote locations. As long as there's a "kapitolyo" there will most probably be a Landbank. This was made clear to me recently when a North Luzon client informed me that there is ONLY a Landbank in their agrarian town. None of the other bank institution such as BPI, BDO, Metrobank, Security Bank, etc. could be found in what was relatively a progressive town.

Land Bank ATM Account The minimum balance for a Landbank ATM account is Php 500. There's a small charge, however, for deposits to accounts outside of Metro Manila. Very reasonable for a wealth of convenience.

BPI Requirements for Claim to Account of Deceased Depositor

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) branch at the Philippine Stock Exchange in Ortigas, Pasig City kindly provided me with the list of requirements on how to claim the funds of a depositor who has passed away. Please note that copies of all the listed documents must be submitted to BPI, so, make sure you have xeroxed copies of the originals when you visit the bank.

BDO Requirements for Claim to Account of Deceased Depositor

It is customary for a bank to freeze a depositor's account once the bank officials learn of the depositor's death. This can become a great burden for the family since the funds cannot be withdrawn until certain documentary requirements are met. (And a very good reason to open an ATM account with a co-depositor you trust.) In the event that a Banco de Oro account is frozen due to the death of the depositor, the following are the mandatory documents before the heirs can withdraw from the deceased's BDO account:
