Recently Banco de Oro (BDO) with Unibank have join other banks in supporting the Kiddie Account Program (KAP). Which is jointly promoted by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the Bank Marketing Association of the Philippines (BMAP), last December 2019.
The KAP goal is to encourage children 12 years and below to develop the habit of saving money regularly through easy access to the participating banks’ deposit facility.
Through Easy Saver or your online banking account, you can transfer money from your existing BDO accounts to your child’s BDO Junior Savers Account.
The BDO Junior Savers Account is specially designed for children 12 years and below. With an initial deposit of P100, you can open an account and start growing interest.
