6 Ways That BDO Goes Beyond Customer Service at the Branch
Here are some of the ways that BDO is reaching out to underserved communities and making financial services more convenient:
Many Branches Nationwide
With 1,214 branches spread across the country, BDO ensures that people from various cities and provinces have access to their banking needs close to home.
CASH AGAD Centers in Rural Areas
Despite its more than a thousand physical branches, BDO knows that millions of Filipinos remain unbanked because they live very far away. Through the CASH AGAD, BDO collaborates with local stores in remote communities to offer cash withdrawals. This initiative brings banking to Filipinos who would otherwise need to travel long distances to access their money.
Extended Hours and Weekend Banking
BDO branches are open longer hours, and some are even open on weekends. This provides flexibility for Filipinos who work long hours or have other commitments during the week.
Friendly and Knowledgeable Bank Staff
BDO prides itself on having well-trained, approachable staff ready to help customers navigate their financial needs.
Service Assist Machine (SAM)
To streamline the banking experience, BDO’s Service Assist Machine (SAM) offers convenient self-service options, helping customers skip the lines for common transactions.
Community Marketing Events Like BDO Fiesta
Through events like the BDO Fiesta, BDO actively engages with communities, offering accessible information on banking services while fostering a sense of financial empowerment.
