The BDO Visa Classic is a basic every day card with low fees and some exclusive differences you’ll want to pay attention to. Firstly, it comes with 0% interest monthly instalments on purchases more than P3,000, so you can easily buy what you need and pay afterwards over a period of up to 36 months.

You also get a free Virtual Card which is a credit card designed to use on the Internet. This has a different card number from your regular card for added security. Not only this, you can also get exclusive deals, freebies and discounts when you use your BDO Credit Card at partner websites.

For more perks, BDO offers a points system where you get 1 credit card point for every ₱50 spent on your BDO Visa Classic credit card. These can then be transferred into Rewards Points which can then be redeemed for travel, dining and more.

On the topic of travel, the BDO Classic Visa is also accepted in establishments worldwide.

Request the BDO Credit Card

To apply for a BDO credit card you can do it through the online form on the BDO website. You will need to have your ID (must be 21+), documents and proof of income available to upload. As an idea of income requirements, the BDO Visa Classic requires you to have an annual salary of P180,000.

Once you fill out the online credit card application and upload the required supporting documents, the bank will analyze your financial position and determine the status of your application. If approved, the bank will set your credit card limit based on your financial analysis.

BDO Credit Card Fees

As mentioned earlier, there are a number of BDO credit cards that vary in terms of fees and interest rates. To keep it simple, we’ll take a look into the bank fees of the BDO Classic Visa again.

This credit card offers ₱0 annual fee for the first year and then ₱125 per month thereafter. If you need a supplementary card for your spouse, partner, etc, this is an extra ₱62.50 per month.

Other fees you should take note of are the cash advance fee (5% of the amount withdrawn or $10 – whichever is higher), late payment charge (7% of the amount owed), and foreign exchange rates (1% assessment fee & 1.5% service fee of converted amount).

The interest rate for this particular card is 3.50%, however, you’ll see BDO interest rates vary from card to card.
