In my case, I selected the “Savings and Checking Account (with ATM card or Info Card)” option since the BPI account that I’m enrolling is a BPI savings account.

Click the “Select” after you chose the correct account type. The “Reset” button may be clicked if you made incorrect selection.

Step 3: Input Your BPI Savings Account Info
Clicking the “Select” will take you to a new webpage where you will be asked to input your BPI savings account number and the Joint Account Indicator (JAI).

How to Transfer Funds in BPIExpressOnline

There are times when you need to transfer money from one of your BPI account to another BPI account. In the past, you can only do this money transfer by going to a branch of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI). It was inconvenient and takes up a lot of your time.

Good thing that BPI already has an online resource, named BPIExpressOnline, where you can do a lot of thing including transferring funds from one account to another.

Last week, I had a sudden need to transfer money from my checking account to my savings account. I almost asked the BPI teller to do the transfer when I realized that I can do it by using the BPIExpressOnline.

You can follow the steps that I outline in the succeeding steps so you can successfully transfer funds. I can say that transferring funds using BPIExpressOnline is really easy. I am sure that you can do it too.
