Once your PNB UITF Online enrollment is processed and approved, you can perform various functions related to your UITF investment and enjoy the following benefits:

1. You Can Conveniently Open a UITF

Start investing in UITFs without the paperwork and visits to a PNB branch. You can simply open one via PNB’s internet banking facility. The account details will be sent to your UITF account, which will be approved within 24 hours of enrollment.  

2. You Can Make Placements Through Your PNB Account

Since you have a nominated source account, you can easily fund your investments and make placements quickly and conveniently through your PNB account.

3. You Can Redeem Straight to Your PNB Deposit Account

If you wish to make a redemption, you can also do it online with just a few clicks. The funds will then be credited to your nominated settlement account.

4. You Can Open a PNB Auto Invest Plan

Once your savings reaches the required threshold amount, the Auto Invest Plan (AIP) facility allows you to regularly put aside a portion for automatic investment to a PNB UITF of your choice.

You can invest in PNB Peso Money Market Funds for as low as ₱2,000 or in PNB Dollar Money Market Funds for as low as US$100. This way, you can earn potentially higher returns in comparison to a traditional savings deposit.

5. You Can Manage Your UITF Efficiently

Check your statement of account and your fund’s performance. Use the PNB UITF calculator to compute how much you’ve earned. Manage your investments effectively by conducting regular PNB UITF reviews and viewing the status of each investment you enrolled in the system.

You can monitor your UITF investments on the go, or even check your redemption history, via the PNB Digital App.

If you want to check the PNB UITF NAVPU (net asset value per unit), you can also do so via the PNB official website at www.pnb.com.ph.

What are the Requirements to Enroll in PNB UITF Online?

You must be at least 18 years old and an existing PNB customer with an active PNB savings or checking account.

What is the PNB UITF Minimum Investment?

For just ₱2,000, you can already make a minimum initial participation or investment in the PNB Dream Builder Money Market Fund. If you’re eyeing a Peso fund, you need a minimum investment of ₱10,000 and a minimum of US$100 for Dollar funds.
