Internet Banking Service Agreement

1. ACCESS TO INTERNET BANKING SERVICES

1.1 BPI shall provide me with instructions on how to use the online services of BPI Internet Banking. I
can access any of my enrolled/ nominated accounts with the use of Internet enabled computer,
approved browser and my User ID and Password.

I can access my accounts in BPI Internet Banking seven (7) days a week, twenty four (24) hours a
1.2
day. However, at certain times, some or all of Internet Banking services may not be available due to
system maintenance. System downtime for maintenance could occur as early as 7 PM (Philippine
time).

Online transactions (such as an immediate fund transfer, bills payment or a check stop payment)
initiated through Internet Banking before system downtime on a banking day shall be posted to my
account on the same day. All Internet Banking transactions completed after this system downtime
on a banking day or completed on a Saturday, Sunday or banking holiday, will be posted on the
next banking day.

Our banking days are Monday through Friday, except for banking holidays.

1.3 Only my savings accounts/current accounts and Time Deposit accounts that I specifically
enroll/nominate in Provision No. 5 will be provided with Internet Banking Services enumerated
under Provision No. 3 below. I will have to formally enroll/nominate additional accounts that I want
to access via BPI Internet Banking by signing an addendum to the Internet Banking Service
Agreement.

2. SECURITY PASSWORD USAGE

2.1 I agree not to let anyone know of my Password.

2.2 I agree to assume full responsibility for all transactions made in my accounts through the use of my
User ID and Password. It is understood that the Password is known only to me and as such, any
transaction effected using my Password shall be conclusively presumed to be done by me or
authorized by me.

2.3 I further agree and undertake to change my Password from time to time as I deem necessary and
should I feel that my Password has been compromised, I shall immediately change my Password
through Internet Bankings Change Password facility.

2.4 I agree that the Bank, at its sole discretion, is entitled to act on the instructions received via
Internet Banking which the Bank reasonably believes emanated from me by the use of my User ID
and Password. I further agree that the Bank shall not be liable for acting in accordance with or
based on the Internet Banking service requests and/or instructions through my Internet Banking
account, which it believes emanated from me.

3. INTERNET BANKING SERVICES

I understand that the following are some of the services available in BPI Internet Banking:

3.1 ACCOUNT BALANCE INQUIRY I can access the Available Balance or the withdrawable balance of
each of my accounts as of the date and time of my inquiry and the Total Balance as of previous
banking day.

3.2 ACCOUNT DETAILS ACCESS - I can access transactions occurring within the preceding sixty (60)
days from date of last statement. I may, however, request for a copy of the bank statement or

https://www.bpiexpressonline.com/application/application_terms.asp?s...

account details for transactions that occurred prior to the said sixty (60)-day period. This statement
shall be sent to the mailing address specified in my Signature Card for the particular account.

3.3 FUND TRANSFERS - I can only transfer funds to and from my enrolled Peso savings and Peso
checking accounts that are in my name. However, the Bank will notify me from time to time of any
additional type of account that may be included. The amount of fund transfer shall be deducted
from my account where the transfer came from and will be added to the account where it is
transferred to. I may choose to transfer funds immediately or on a scheduled basis.

3.3.1 Immediate and scheduled fund transfers can originate from my savings and current
accounts.

3.3.2 I shall manually trigger Immediate Fund Transfers on the transfer date while Scheduled
Fund Transfers, on the other hand, automatically transfers on the scheduled date.

3.3.3 Completed Immediate Fund Transfers are reflected immediately in the withdrawable
balance of my accounts. However, the transactions will appear in the account details
screen on:

3.3.3.1 Next banking day - if my Immediate Fund Transfer is received by the Bank
before system downtime.

3.3.3.2 After two (2) banking days if my Immediate Fund Transfer is received by
the Bank after system downtime.

3.3.4 The starting date of Scheduled Fund Transfer starts at least one (1) banking day after
the date of request. Scheduled Fund Transfer cannot start on the date of request. If the
transfer must be done on date of request, then I have to perform an Immediate Fund
transfer and set Scheduled Fund Transfer for future transfers. Such funds will be
deducted from my "transfer from" account and funds must be available in my "transfer
to" account on the scheduled transfer date.

3.3.5 For Scheduled Fund Transfer, I can select one of the following frequencies of automated
transfer: every seven (7) days, every thirty (30) days, every sixty (60) days, every
ninety (90) days. When the requested transfer date falls on a week-end or holiday, the
transfer date will be one (1) day before week-end or holiday.

3.3.6 Only cleared and withdrawable balances of my enrolled/nominated accounts shall be


considered for fund transfers, both for Immediate Fund Transfers and Scheduled Fund
Transfers. In case of insufficient funds in my account, my fund transfer request will
automatically be cancelled and no further attempt will be made by the Bank to make the
transfer. The Bank shall have no obligation or liability if it does not complete a transfer
due to insufficiency of funds in my account. In all cases, I am responsible for making
alternate arrangements for the transfer

3.3.7 In the case of multiple fund transfers coming from one (1) account and the account has
only enough balance to make some but not all fund transfers, the Bank, in its sole
discretion, may determine which of my transfer requests to complete.

I can edit or cancel my scheduled transfer transaction online.

3.4 CHECK STOP PAYMENT - It is understood that I can request a stop payment through BPI Internet
Banking on a single check only per request, subject to the following limitations:

3.4.2 My request for check stop payment will be accepted by the Bank on the assumption that
the check number that I entered is correct and that the check has not yet been
negotiated as of date and time I issued the stop payment order (SPO); otherwise, my
request will be considered invalid.

3.4.3 I also agree that staledated checks cannot be accepted for SPO and lifting of an SPO can
only be made upon my written request at my maintaining branch. I cannot request the
Bank to reverse via BPI Internet Banking the SPO that I made through BPI Internet
Banking.

Banking are valid and effective for a period of six (6) months from date of the Banks
receipt of the SPO (s) unless sooner renewed/extended in writing for another six (6)
months. Such renewal/extension shall be effective from the Banks receipt of the written
request for renewal/extension. Furthermore, I understand that the SPO(s) issued on the
undated checks will be void and ineffective six (6) months after the date of my SPO(s)
via the BPI Internet Banking and will, therefore, be automatically cancelled by the Bank
without need for further notice; and that I hold the Bank free from any liability for
payment subsequent to the automatic SPO cancellation of the undated check(s).

3.4.5 It is also understood that SPO (s) initiated after system downtime will be posted the
next banking day.

3.4.6 I hold the Bank free and harmless from any and all claims and liabilities and I undertake
to reimburse/indemnify the Bank for all such costs, payments, damages and expenses
which (i) the Bank may be liable for or which the Bank may incur or has incurred by
reason of the Banks implementation of said SPO(s); (ii) the Bank may be liable for or
which the Bank may incur or has incurred on account of payment contrary to the
request for SPO(s), if same occurs through inadvertence or accident only; (iii) result on
account of payment by Bank before the date and time when the SPO was placed; and
(iv) result from payment by the Bank effected over-the-counter under an offline
environment even after SPO was issued; and that I further undertake to notify the Bank
promptly in writing of any change in the conditions which give rise to my request for
SPO(s).

dated the next banking day.

for further demand, notice or consent. Further, I agree that a letter of authorization is
required if such checkbooks will be picked up by a representative.

and I undertake to reimburse/indemnify the Bank for all such costs, payments, damages
and expenses which the Bank may be liable for or which the Bank may incur or have
