BPI mobile banking on Globe (SMS-based)

Posted on by Caroline Siñel in Mobile Banking


BPI’s mobile banking facility called BPI Express Mobile, allows BPI account holders to do banking transactions such as check account balance, perform fund transfers, reload prepaid, or load their GCASH wallet using their mobile phones. This service was initially available to Globe/TM subscribers.

The BPI Express Mobile comes in two variants. The SMS-based and Internet-based. The SMS-based BPI Express Mobile works with just a Globe SIM menu and the text messaging facility of Globe, even without connecting to the internet.

The second variant, Internet-based BPI Express Mobile, can do the same transactions as SMS-based and more except GCash related transactions. To learn more about Internet-based BPI Express Mobile, click here.
