As bank branches are temporarily suspending cash pick-up of remittances during the enhanced community quarantine, BDO Unibank said there are still ways available to send and receive money anywhere.
“With BDO’s Cash Pick-Up Anywhere feature through our online banking platform, both the senders and receivers have an option to transfer and get the money, respectively, safe and sound at any cash pick-up partners such as Palawan Pawnshop, RD Pawnshop, Villarica Pawnshop, BDO Network Bank, Cebuana Lhuillier and M. Lhuillier Kwarta Padala,” the bank said in a statement.
The bank has provided a step-by-step guide on how to use Cash Pick-up Anywhere and a list of Frequently Asked Questions at bit.ly/CashPickUpAnywhere.
BDO advises the senders to have a photo of their receiver’s ID, and copy their name exactly as written on the ID to avoid mistakes and inconveniences. The receiver, on the other hand, must present the complete Reference Number, and one valid ID upon pick up of the cash, which is available within 2 to 4 working days.
Meanwhile, for BDO Mobile App users, after the transaction confirmation, they can get the Reference Number under “Send Money” in the bottom menu > View Transaction Status > For Cash Pick Up.
Clients can also visit BDO’s official website bdo.com.ph, official BDO Facebook page (fb.com/BDOUnibank), and Youtube channel (youtube.com/user/BDOPhilippines) for more information on Cash Pick-up Anywhere.
