BPI sports a new website

posted: January 6th, 2007

The website of Bank of the Philippine Islands has been revamped, sporting a new clean look.

BPI

The nicest thing about it is that it now loads just fine on Firefox and Flock. I must give props to BPI for such a great new site, something I can really use without opening a new IE window ever again.

Im glad they are doing some changes to their site. Though there are still usability issues that I see. For example when Im already logged in and went to their home page, I don’t see myself as logged in , I need to login back or click back button which sometimes is annoying.

The drop down menus are in javascript. Too bad Search Engines can’t go deeper than the homepage!

Also the Iframe doesn’t blend well with the site. Not that its important for a Bank website but it doesn’t have a Web 2.0 feel.

The site did improve,a little, but it still doesn’t live up to the bank’s reputation as one of the best in the Philippines…

Wow! I like the new look. It’s great that I don’t have to open IE just to get into BPI anymore.

The site still uses tables for layout! In stark contrast, the recently unveiled GMA News website does much better for web standards, using xHTML and CSS (although they don’t validate).

i wish metrobank will do the same. i just hate to use IE especially in checking my bank account online.

I’m not too particular about the site using tables, js, or basically following web standards. All I care about is that Firefox works and I don’t have to use IE Tab to check my BPI account online.

And phishers are quick to update their websites too!

I got a phishing attempt on BPI Express Online clients, and the phishing website is sporting the new bpi look too.

Hope BPI can be more pro-active in informing their customers what to do with phishing attempts.

Yup the site looks better now but sadly the email confirmation for online transactions is no longer working :-|..malfunctioning for the past 23 days already. hmmm i wonder is it has something to do with the new layout :p
