LOCKED OUT OR FORGOTTEN
PASSWORD
To unlock your Online Banking
account, go to www.bdo.com.ph and click on:
Online Banking Login > BDO Online Banking > Forgot Your
Password?
You will be asked to input your user ID. If enrolled with an ATM Card
or a Checking/Savings Account, you will be asked to input a One-Time
Password (OTP) plus the last 4 digits of any enrolled ATM card or
Checking/Savings account. After providing the correct information, you will be prompted to nominate your own password.
If enrolled with a credit card only, you will be asked to input a
One-Time Password (OTP). Then, you will be prompted to nominate your own password.
You are required to enter the
last 4 digits of your enrolled ATM card number in Online Banking as an
added security feature. You will receive the temporary password only
after providing this and the OTP. You may enter this number or the last
4 digits of any enrolled Checking/Savings account number.
OTP or One Time Password is a
temporary numeric password that secures your Online Banking login. By
default, your OTP is sent via SMS to the mobile number registered in
your Online Banking account. You may also get your OTP using the OTP
Generator feature in the BDO Mobile App.
To enable your OTP Generator, log in your BDO Mobile App. Go to
Settings and switch on OTP Generator. This feature does not require
internet connection. The OTP will refresh every 30 seconds. Once you
subscribe to this feature, you will no longer automatically receive the
OTP via SMS. However, you still have the option to get an OTP via SMS
in Online Banking.
LOCK/UNLOCK ATM DEBIT CARD/CREDIT CARD
When you lock your card, you protect it from unauthorized usage. Locking prevents your ATM Debit/Credit Card from being used for transactions at ATMs and physical card terminals (POS), and for online purchases and payments.
The lock feature gives you better control over your card. It also provides additional protection in case of card loss or theft.
1. Log in to your BDO Personal
Online Banking account.
2. Click on the New Security Feature button at the upper right portion of the home screen. This will direct you to the menu showing all your BDO Debit and Credit Cards, and the current status of each. You can also access this menu through My Accounts > Security Management.
3. Slide the toggle button of the card you wish to lock/unlock then click Submit.
4. A confirmation prompt will be displayed. Click the Submit button to proceed.
5. The screen will ask you to input your OTP or One-Time Password. Type the OTP that will be sent to your registered mobile number via SMS.
If you are subscribed to the OTP Generator, just open the BDO Mobile Banking App then generate an OTP. Type this OTP at the BDO Online Banking page, then click Submit.
6. You will see an acknowledgement page. An email notification will also be sent to your registered email address.
Locking your Debit Card will only prevent card-based transactions. You can continue to transact using BDO Personal Online Banking, the BDO Mobile Banking App, and BDO Phone Banking.
Locking your Credit Card, on the other hand, will disallow you from making the following transactions:
- Cash Advance via ATM
- Point-of-Sale (POS)
- e-Commerce / Online Purchase
- Auto-Charge, Recurring Payment System (RPS), etc.
- Personal Online Banking, Mobile Banking App Transactions
There is no limit. You can lock / unlock your card anytime, anywhere, at your convenience.
We are working on making this feature available for all BDO Cards, but as of this moment, lock/unlock is available to ATM Debit/Credit Cards only.

SECURITY FEATURES
Using the current security
technologies and processes, BDO assures its clients of the
confidentiality and privacy of their online banking sessions. BDO
Personal Online Banking security uses:
Authentication - Authentication ensures that only authorized users can
access the BDO Personal Online Banking system by verifying the identity
of the user. This is enforced through the use of a User Name and
Password.
Network Security - BDO uses a firewall to protect its Online Banking
servers from unauthorized Internet access. A firewall is a combination
of systems that enforces a boundary between the Internet and the bank's
network, while blocking out all unwanted access.
Encryption - Encryption converts data on the system to a format that is
unreadable by anyone who does not have the proper authorization.
Currently, BDO Personal Online Banking uses 128-bit Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) to secure all banking transactions. 128-bit encryption
means that there are 2128 - or 3.4 with 38 zeros after it - possible
combinations that could access your account information but only one
that works for each online banking session.
Automatic Log-out - BDO Personal Online Banking automatically logs you
out of the system if it detects no user activity for a fixed number of
minutes. This protects your accounts from being accessed by the next PC
user, especially when using a public or shared computer.
Password strength - an on-screen meter that indicates the strength of
your nominated password.
Never disclose your password to
anyone, even to someone claiming to be from BDO. BDO will never ask for
your Password/PIN. Be responsible in keeping your password confidential.
Keep your password safe. Your password authenticates you when you begin
your internet banking session. You should memorize your password and
avoid writing it down.
Create/nominate password that is difficult to guess but easy to
remember. Avoid using birthdates and other personal information easily
associated with you.
Change your password regularly. You can easily change your password
when you begin your Online Banking session.
Remember to log out before you leave your computer. Logging out assures
you that no one can access your accounts after you have finished your
Online Banking session. This is very important when you are using a
shared or public computer.
Keep your operating system and browser software updated with patches
for the latest security vulnerabilities. Many viruses, trojans and
spyware exploit the vulnerabilities of software to steal information.
Use your browser's security features. Most browsers have security
settings and options that protect the privacy of your accounts. Refer
to your browser's help on how you can maximize your browser's security.
Avoid using shared or public computers to access your accounts. Shared
or public computers may have been installed with tracking software that
could monitor your Online Banking sessions.
Avoid using Beta-browsers. Beta-browsers are browsers still in the
process of testing and may contain security vulnerabilities. We suggest
the use of the browser's final release versions.
Change your BDO Personal Online
Banking Password online.
Call BDO Call Center and request for immediate locking of your Personal Online Banking account.
