Mahirap ba mag bukas ng bank account? Sa BPI 500 pesos lang ang deposit. Sa BDO, maybe 2000 pesos, not sure.

Actually madali lang naman pero ngayon ata naghigpit na din ang banks sa ID's na acceptable nila para makapag open account. Usually primary ang hinihingi kaya kung wala ka nun hindi rin magiging madali.

Hindi rin, ini encourage ng government ang mga tao na mag open ng bank account kaya madali lang ang ID requirements for KYC.
Ito ang mga acceptable IDs ayon sa https://www.bpi.com.ph/bank/savings/list-of-acceptable-ids para sa BPI.
