Security Bank responds to BDO transfer fees

Following the hubbub caused by BDO’s announcement to charge Php10 to use their transfer services, Security Bank has made an official statement due to the influx of questions regarding Intrabank/Interbranch fees and charges.

On its Facebook page, Security Bank posted the following:

To clarify: Intrabank/Interbranch transactions do not have a charge.

Security Bank does not charge fees for transfers between Security Bank accounts—whether the transfer is done through the mobile app, online (SBOL), or over the counter. This will not change in the foreseeable future.

The banking company also made clear its services and requirements regarding money transfers:

  • You can transfer up to P1MM per day to any Security Bank account—regardless of whether the receiving account is enrolled in online banking—with no transfer charges.
  • If you are transferring between accounts that you own, there is no transfer limit.
  • Any transfer to an external account where the transferred amount is over P40K will require a one-time-password (OTP).
  • If you are transferring funds to an account for the first time, the transaction will require a one-time-password (OTP).

So there you have it. Security Bank is playing the good guy and won’t be implementing additional fees for using their services to transfer money so long as the account is from them.

    I don’t know why your feedback with security bank is negative, but for my experience i security online banking is the best. even when transferring money ang bilis, the person I am sending the money receives it right away. Sending through GCASH is also like a flash, received it right away and without a charge. I am very satisfied with SECURITY BANK.

    I think they don’t have that function. I googled this as well and the only solution is thru ATM transfer

    Basic financial services is definitely one of those things that when working well you never notice or think about it, but when it goes wrong, things can quickly grind to a halt.

    Yeah i noticed that too, OTC in BDO was quite long and standing, unlike in BPI theres a seat on the middle while you waiting for your turn, Tapos kung kelan pa madaming nag OTC dun pa iisa or dadalawa ang bank clerk parang sinasadya nila na ganun para tingin madami ang depositor at matagal sa premises nila ang tao. kakasuya na BDO lahat nalang may charge, andaming bank dyan na di greedy, lipat nalang tayo.

    BDO has the worst service. Their over-the-counter (OTC) process makes you wait for at least 15 mins queued and standing. They charge interbranch transaction for PhP50 (OTC).
    They (BDO) must have noticed that instead of doing OTC transactions/deposits, a lot of clients use the online banking app for funds transfer, and the grinch in them must be losing a lot of money.

    security bank is ok they just need to be more customer oriented bank, like clients should feel that they are happy that they are banking with Security Bank….

    BDO being the number one bank has become greedy, I think its time to move away from them, BPI is also a good alternative

    I will refrain or stop my banking transaction to BDO .
