BPI Online Banking Security Tips

BPI regularly conducts maintenance services to improve its safety and security features, both on the revamped website and the mobile app. Make the most out of these safety features to protect your funds from scammers and unauthorized use.

Here are five ways to ensure your BPI account stays safe:

1. Change Your BPI Online Password Regularly

BPI Online Banking - BPI Online Change Password

BPI requires an OTP for every transaction on its online platforms. While this feature is good for your online banking security, you can't get too complacent. Change your password every one to three months to ensure nobody else can access your BPI online account.

Enter your username and choose the product type.
Key in your deposit account, credit card, or loan account number.
Next, enter your date of birth.
Type and confirm your new password.
Click Next and enter the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.

2. Turn On Your Mobile Key

The mobile key secures and speeds up bills payment and money transfer transactions. Instead of using an OTP, it enables a user to verify and complete a transaction through a face ID or fingerprint. This makes it useful for those without mobile network access.

How to Activate Your BPI Mobile Key

Log in to your account via the BPI Mobile app.
Tap Account Maintenance > Authentication.
Toggle the Mobile Key button to turn it on.
Provide a six-digit PIN code.
Enter the OTP sent to your mobile number.
Choose whether you'll use your face ID or fingerprint.

3. Set Your Debit Card Control Limits

To protect your account, you can customize your BPI debit card settings online. For instance, you can change your card's withdrawal and purchase limits or temporarily block it, so you won't lose as much money when hackers access your account.

You may also activate international access if you use your debit card abroad or enable e-commerce access to use your card for online shopping.

How to Adjust Your BPI Debit Card Settings

Log in to your BPI Online account.
Go to Other Services.
Select Card Control and choose the BPI debit card.
If you wish to adjust your card’s withdrawal or purchase limit, select Withdrawal Limit or Purchase Limit.
Enter your preferred amount and key in the one-time PIN.
If you wish to enable or disable your e-commerce or international access, turn your access on or off, and then enter the six-digit OTP you’ll receive via SMS.
To block your card, go to Card Control and choose the debit card to be blocked. Select Temporary Block and then enter the six-digit OTP.

4. Enable Email Login Notifications

Get alerts when somebody else accesses your account by activating the email login notifications feature. This will allow you to receive an email message from BPI after each successful login to your account.

To set email login notifications, go to Account Maintenance on the BPI Mobile app and enable Login Email Notifications.

5. Enable Push Notifications

It's also crucial to know every transaction made using your BPI account, whether it's unauthorized or not.
