Getting a BDO bank statement for your savings account
BDO (Banco de Oro) offers several ways to retrieve your savings account statement. The fastest method is through BDO Online Banking or the BDO mobile app, where you can download statements instantly. If you prefer a physical copy, you can visit any BDO branch in person, call their customer service line, or request statements by mail. Each method takes different amounts of time and requires different information, so the right choice depends on whether you need the statement today or can wait a few business days.
The method you choose also depends on what you plan to use the statement for. Tax refund tracking, loan applications, and government payment verification all work with digital statements, but some organizations still prefer or require a printed copy with an official branch stamp. Understanding your options upfront saves you a trip or a phone call later.

Downloading statements through BDO Online Banking
Log into your BDO Online Banking account using your username and password. Once logged in, navigate to the "Accounts" or "My Accounts" section, then select your savings account from the list. Look for an option labeled "Statements," "Transaction History," or "Account Statements" — the exact wording varies depending on whether you are using the desktop site or mobile app.
Select the date range you need. Most BDO accounts allow you to view statements going back 12 months or more. Choose your start and end dates, then click "Download" or "View." The system will generate a PDF file that you can save to your device, print, or email to yourself. This entire process takes less than five minutes and requires no branch visit or phone call.
If you cannot find the statements section or your login is not working, reset your password through the BDO website before trying again. If you do not yet have online banking set up, you will need to register at a branch or through the app first. Registration is free and takes about 10 minutes at any branch.
Requesting statements through the BDO mobile app
Open the BDO mobile app and log in with your credentials. Tap on your savings account to view account details. Look for a menu option (usually three dots or lines in the corner) and select "Statements" or "Transaction History." The app will show you recent transactions and allow you to select a date range for your statement.
Once you have selected your dates, tap "Download" or "Generate Statement." The app will create a PDF that you can save, share, or print directly from your phone. Some versions of the app also let you email the statement to yourself or your accountant without downloading it first. This method works anywhere you have internet access and is often faster than the desktop version because the app is optimized for mobile screens.
Getting a printed statement at a BDO branch
Visit any BDO branch during business hours with your ATM card or government-issued ID. Tell the teller you need a statement for your savings account. Provide your account number if you have it memorized, or the teller can look it up using your ID. Let them know the date range you need — for example, "the last three months" or "January through March 2024."
The teller will print your statement on the spot, which usually takes 5 to 10 minutes. You will receive a physical copy that you can use for tax purposes, loan applications, or personal records. No appointment is needed, but branches are typically busiest on Fridays and at the beginning of the month, so visiting mid-week or mid-month may mean shorter wait times. Ask the teller if you need an official stamp or certification on the statement — some organizations require this, and the branch can add it while you wait.
Requesting statements by phone or mail
Call BDO customer service at their main hotline (the number is on the back of your ATM card or on the BDO website). Tell the representative you need a statement for your savings account. Provide your account number and the date range you need. The representative will confirm your identity by asking for information like your registered phone number or mother's maiden name.
BDO can send statements to you by mail, email, or SMS depending on what you request. Mailed statements typically arrive within 5 to 7 business days. Email delivery is faster but depends on the branch processing your request — response times range from same-day to 2 business days. SMS statements are usually shorter summaries rather than full detailed statements, so confirm what format you need before hanging up. If you are tracking a government payment or tax refund, email or mail delivery gives you a complete record with all transaction details.
What information you need before requesting
Have your account number ready. You can find it on your ATM card, passbook, or any previous statement. If you do not have it, bring your ID to a branch and a teller can look it up for you. You will also need to know the date range you want — whether that is the last month, last three months, or a specific period for tax or loan purposes.
If you are requesting a statement by phone or mail, BDO will ask you to verify your identity. Be prepared to provide your registered phone number, email address, or answers to security questions you set up when you opened the account. This verification step protects your account from unauthorized access but can slow down the process if you do not remember the answers. If you get stuck on security questions, visit a branch in person instead — they can verify your identity with your ID and print the statement immediately.
Statements for tax refunds and government payments
If you are using your BDO statement to track a tax refund or government payment deposit, download or print the statement covering the month when the deposit should have arrived. The statement will show the exact date the money hit your account and the amount deposited. This is the document you need if you have to prove to the tax bureau or government agency that you received the payment.
Make sure the statement clearly shows your account number, the deposit date, and the amount. If the deposit does not appear on your statement, check whether it went to a different account or was delayed. Contact BDO customer service with your statement and the expected deposit date — they can search their records to see whether the transfer was sent to the wrong account or is still processing. Keep a copy of your statement for your records, especially if you are using it to track a refund or payment you are waiting for.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far back can I get BDO statements?
Most BDO Online Banking accounts let you view and download statements for the past 12 months. If you need statements older than that, visit a branch or call customer service — they can usually retrieve statements going back several years, though there may be a small fee for very old records.
Can I get a statement the same day I request it?
Yes, if you use BDO Online Banking or the mobile app, you can download a statement in minutes. Visiting a branch also gives you a printed copy the same day. Phone and mail requests take longer — email delivery is usually 1 to 2 business days, and mailed statements take 5 to 7 business days.
What if my online banking password is not working?
Use the "Forgot Password" link on the BDO Online Banking login page to reset it. You will need access to your registered email or phone number to complete the reset. If you cannot reset it yourself, visit a BDO branch with your ID and they can help you regain access.
Do I need to pay a fee for statements?
Statements downloaded through BDO Online Banking or the mobile app are free. Printed statements at a branch are also free. Some branches may charge a small fee if you request very old statements (older than one year) or if you need multiple certified copies, but standard monthly statements are always free.
Can I get statements for a joint account?
Yes, any account holder on a joint savings account can request statements. You will need to provide the account number and your own ID for verification. If you are requesting on behalf of someone else, bring written authorization from the account holder along with both IDs.
