Requirements for Opening a Basic ATM Savings Account in EastWest Bank

I’ve been planning to open a new savings account, last month. But I got so busy and totally forgot about it. Luckily, I got a little extra time today to go out and decided to inquire at EastWest Bank for the requirements. I intended to open a basic ATM savings account only since I already have a passbook savings account from another bank, which I am very happy with.

Why EastWest and not open the same savings account with ATM in One Network Bank, you ask? Well, EastWest has an online banking facility where I can track my finances while ONB don’t. I guess you get my point.

When I got in EastWest Bank branch near me, I liked that they are not crowded. After asking the requirements, I applied right there and then. The application was fast, the whole process was done in thirty minutes or less, depending on how fast you can fill up the form.

BPI Card Replacement ~ Forgot ATM PIN

Just few weeks ago, I was trying to withdraw some money from my ATM. I saw that there was long queue in my bank's ATM machine and I was in a hurry so I went to the other bank's ATM machine, and just my luck, it says that I entered the wrong PIN. I am aware that I only have three (3) tries to enter my PIN, and I failed to enter the correct PIN in three tries, I can no longer withdraw my funds. After the first attempt, I decided to go back to my bank's ATM machine and just fall in line... and when it was my turn, I entered my PIN and still says the same. I am very certain that I entered the correct PIN, so I tried again and it still says that I entered the wrong PIN. You guess it right, my card is no longer useful after that. I went home defeated.

At first, I had no idea what to do. A week passed and I just let it be, but at the back of my mind I'm already worried. I don't have so much money in my account, it was just enough for a week's budget and I worked hard for that money and I can't just let it vanish like that.
