My ATM account was closed due to insufficient funds this month and I'm planning on applying for a Passbook (w/ ATM). Should I just go the New Accounts section and apply for one even though I already had a closed account? Someone told me that after his account was closed, he was asked to wait for nine months before applying for a new account. They also said it's impossible to reopen an account.

How much is the initial deposit for Passbook only. Is the initial deposit withdrawable or is it already owned by the BDO which serves as a fee and cannot be withdrawn?

Hi, I'm a Filipino expat working in Indonesia. May I know what are the requirements for opening an account aside from the minimum amount as well as photos? Will a passport and a kitas (Indonesian working permit) suffice? What if I have to go to work asap and I have only the weekend to open an account, would the bank be able to mail the atm to my address abroad? Earnestly hoping for your prompt reply. Thanks.
ella [Entry]
