How To: Claim Your BPI EMV Debit Card

7:00 PM angeLjamie 4 Comments



Finally, BPI has decided to join the 21st century and release their new EMV chip ATM cards, called EMV Debit Card.  EMV stands for Europay, Mastercard and Visa, which uses chip card technology and is the global standard for card payments.  This is also in compliance to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) mandate that all Philippine banks are to switch to this new technology for card issuance, ATM and POS terminals, for the protection of the public.  As such, replacing your current magnetic strip card with this EMV chip Debit card should be absolutely free.

To get your new EMV Debit Card, follow these simple steps:

1.     Bring the following requirements:
o   Government issued ID*
o   Photo copy of government issued ID
o   Your current BPI ATM card

*On BPI’s website, only 1 ID is required, however, the teller I talked too asked me to bring 2 valid ID’s, plus their photocopies.
2.     Know where to claim your card, by looking at the 1st 3-digits of the number at the back of your current ATM card.
3.     Consult BPI’s list here, and choose the area where you opened your account.

For Cavite area, here’s the list:
Branch Code
Branch Name
Address
089
Bacoor Panapaan
KM 17 E. Aguinaldo Highway, Brgy. Panapaan I, Bacoor, Cavite 4102
095
Imus Anabu II
KM 24 E. Aguinaldo Highway, Brgy. Anabu II-A, Imus, Cavite 4103
096
E. Aguinaldo Hi-way
KM 30 E. Aguinaldo Highway, Brgy. Zone 4, Dasmariñas, Cavite 4114
097
Tagaytay
BPI Bldg. Brgy. Silang Crossing East, Aguinaldo Highway, Tagaytay City 4120




If your account is under payroll, wait for your HR department’s advice on when and where to get your EMV Debit Card.  Or if you know where you’re card’s branch of account is, drop by there to get your EMV Debit Card.  Don’t forget to bring the same requirements listed above.

Another option is to ask any BPI branch close to you to forward your EMV Debit card to that branch.  This may take a little more time and you’ll also need to provide more information for them to track your card and request a transfer.

As soon as you receive your card, activate it to ensure that it's working properly.

    1. Hi Mellany, I'm in no way connected to BPI. However, a quick search of their website shows the number of their BPI Daet branch as (054)440-3338.
      I've also had an experience with forwarding request with BPI and what they told me is that I should wait for an SMS alert from BPI confirming that my BPI EMV card is ready for collection from whichever branch I should get it. From then, the next step is to go to the nearest BPI branch at your convenience and show them the SMS. Then ask them to contact the branch where your EMV ATM card is at and request for it to be transferred.
      Only then, will you get the card. This happens to most clients with multiple account at multiple BPI branches.

  3. ohhh, and I forgot to mention that you should check with the bank if the mobile number they have on file for you is current. just to make sure you'll receive the SMS alert. would be difficult waiting for something that would never come, now would it?
