is there any bank called AGRIC BANK CHINA.
when it is to transfer funds does it need the recipient to clear with the united nations.
thank you
Hi mwebembezi,yes there’s an Agricultural Bank of China. No, the recipient does NOT need to clear with the United Nations to receive money.
hi mwebembezijs, I will display this comment of yours here, but later on, I will take it down. This is just to tell you that THIS IS FRAUD. If there’s a contest like this, it will be broadcast on TV, newspapers, etc. And the basic test of this is YOU DO NOT send money to claim a prize. That’s basic, simple and clear. They said they’re giving you half a million dollars, but you need to send them $125? Can you believe that?
For example, I tell you now that I’m going to give you one million dollars because I saw your name somewhere, but first, send me one thousand dollars, will you believe me?
They are black monkeys from Nigeria whose source of income for their daily food is by stealing, fraud, and scam. Don’t be so stupid to send any amount to these scalawags. They are evil by nature, BEWARE!!
hindi ba commercial bank ang Bangco de oro?
Hi johnrod, commercial bank din ang BDO, pero more than that pa siya. Yong term na universal kasi, sakop niya ang commercial. Ang commercial bank, deposits by and loans to corporations lang. Ang universal bank = commercial banking plus sales of securities, plus investment and merger advice to corporations.
thanks po,,,nga po pala where i can find the history
of commercial banking industry in the philippines?
Hi johnrod, palagay ko you need to look at several websites, kasi parang wala pang nagsulat ng comprehensive history pa. Surf ka lang online. Itong mga links: Palagay ko BPI ang first commercial bank http://www.mybpimag.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=279&Itemid=320 and http://www.mybpimag.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=280&Itemid=321#firstbank
nga po pala, what are the problems that significantly affects the operation of commercial banking? and specific actions done or doing by the industry to address or remedy the problem?, thanks
Hi johnrod, right off the bat lang ito ha. yong nasa isip ko na lang as of this moment. Further research mo na lang. Problems: too much bad debts or delinquent debts, overregulation by the central bank, global or domestic financial crisis, failed investments. Remedies: stricter loan underwriting, dialogue with central bank, compliance with banking laws, moderate-risk investments. Hope it helped a bit. Sleepy na ako. Mag-3 am na.
Thanks po,,, God Bless po,,,=D
