Paperless Transaction via BPI Express Assistant Machine

I recently visited a Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) branch located near my office to deposit some of my hard-earned money. When I entered the BPI branch, the security guard asked me what transaction I will be doing inside the bank. I told him that I will do deposit some money. Instead of letting me go to the corner where the deposit slips are located, the guard told me to go to a newly-installed machine located near the bank entrance. The guard told me that the BPI branch is now using the BPI Express Assistant machine for deposit and withdrawal instructions.

The BPI Express Assistant (BEA) Machine, otherwise named as Customer Transaction Assistant Machine, is like the machines of Smart and Globe Telecoms that automates the transactions being made by their customers. However, unlike the automated machines of Smart and Globe, customers will not place their payments inside the machine.
.

I found the BPI Express Assistant Machine easy to use, which is very unlike the automated machines of Smart. BPI Express Assistant Machine just automates the filling up of deposit or withdrawal slips. You input the transactions that you want into the machine. The transaction can either be cash or check deposit, SSS or BIR payments, and encashment.

For deposit transactions, you will just input the amount of cash or check that you will deposit. The BPI Express Assistant Machine will then print a number slip, which is is like the number that you get when you are queuing at MERALCO when you pay your bills.

Putting up a BPI Express Assistant Machine is good idea for the Bank of the Philippine Islands. It made my transactions at any BPI branch easier and without the hassle of writing down a lot of things in the deposit slips.

How to Use TDK Flash Lock

I own a 2 gigabytes TDK Flash Disk and it serves me well. The feature that I like with my TDK Flash disk is its flash lock. This feature allows me to create two compartments for my TDK Flash Disk. The first compartment is is used to store files that is OK to be seen by other people. The second compartment contains files that I keep hidden from other peoples' eyes. The second compartment of my flash disk is password protected and can be accessed using the TDK Flash Lock.

The TDK Flash Lock interface is light and easy to use. It contains all the buttons that you need to set up and access the second compartment of your TDK Flash Disk.

Did you delete the TDK Flash Lock software in your flash disk? Well, that is not a problem because you can still download it from TDK. Just visit my post about downloading TDK Flash Lock to solve your problem.

Those are the simple instructions on how to use the flash lock of your TDK Flash Disk. I recommend using the TDK Flash Lock to protect your private files from the eyes of other people. Be reminded that you create back-ups for your files whenever you do some changes on the setting of TDK Flash Lock. Some changes on the flash lock can cause some files in the restricted compartment to be deleted.
