I said in a previous post how a book authored by Bo Sanchez convinced me to invest in the Philippine Stock Exchange. The name of that book is “My Maid Invests in the Stock Market…”
I discovered that I am not the only one who is interested in the stock exchange. Many of my officemates are already playing in the stock exchange. Some of them chose the risky trading in exchange for short term income. The other group of Philippine Stock Exchange players wants minimum investment risk. The latter group of investors thinks more about the long term benefit. I joined the “minimum risk” group because the money that I will earn from my investments will go to my retirement fund.
Fortunately, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has a website that is for exclusive use of those who play in the Philippine Stock Exchange. This website or portal is the BPI Trade. The good thing with BPI Trade is that it can be connected to a BPIExpressOnline account. This makes funding my BPI Trade account easy.
Connecting or enrolling your BPI Trade account to your BPIExpressOnline account is easy. Here are the steps:
1. Log-in to your BPI Trade account. Go to your “Portfolio” and copy your “Settlement Account” number.
.
2. Log-in to your BPIExpressOnline account.
3. Click on “My Portfolio” and then click “Enroll Additional Accounts”.
.
4. Choose “Other Accounts” and click the “Continue Button”.
.
5. Check “Other Deposit Accounts” and type in your BPI Trade Settlement Account number on the number “1” field.
.
6. The Confirmation Page will appear. Just wait for the email message that will be sent out by BPI Trade confirming the activation of your enrollment.
.
I just finished the enrollment of my BPI Trade account to BPIExpressOnline. It is easy! I am so excited to invest some of my savings.

Don't you still have a BPIExpressOnline account. Read my post on how to apply to BPIExpressOnline.
Wow, good for you! I have red mommy Paula's post about Stock Investment in Citiseconline, and now's the right time for me to start. I have a hard time understanding how it works, so I am currently waiting for my scheduled seminar to happen. =)

ReplyDeleteYes. Now is the right time, while we are young, to invest in stocks. The profit from stock investment will be for our retirement. :-)
This is very helpful! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI suggest that you call BPI regarding your problem. Here is the BPI hotline numbers: 89-100 (for callers from Metro Manila), 1-800-188-89100 (for domestic toll-free calls), +63 + 2 + 89-10000 (mobile phone and international access code).
Wew... BPI lacks on giving information and instruction on how to fund and enroll BPI Trade account. In their instructions you must enroll your settlement account not our BPI Trade Account, hence BPI Trade Account is not disclosed on our BPI Trade activation email notice. Email support is so slow also. Contact/Hotline Number is not 24/7 its only from 7AM to 7PM. Hey, you are handling peoples money so be at least conservative or else they will lose their trust on BPI Trade.
ReplyDeleteHi Ishmael. Can you update this article using the new BPITrade user interface? It looks very different now as I can't seem to find where to input the settlement number.
ReplyDeleteI have activated my BPITrade account months ago and until now my BPI EOL account is still not associated to it so I'm not able to fund.
you can find your settlement account number on main tab, account info. hope this will help
