Best Savings Accounts for Students in the Philippines
Let’s look at the best savings accounts for students, children and teens in the Philippines.
You can choose from four types:
1. Cash Card or Debit Card — The key advantage of this card is No Maintaining Balance.
Walang maintaining balance kasi hindi regular deposit account ang cash card. Merong info about this below.
2. Savings Account with the Lowest Maintaining Balance
You can choose one from among the accounts offered by banks in this list of low-maintaining-balance savings accounts in the Philippines.
3. Savings Account Designed for Kids — The advantages of this account are the promos attached to this account.
Go to this post to check out savings accounts for kids, offered by Philippine banks.
4. Visa or Mastercard Debit Card — This type is just like any cash card, but it offers more features, particularly Internet use. Currently, the most popular in the Philippines is the Union Bank Eon card. Will write about this card type soon.
In the meantime, let’s focus on CASH CARDS.
The advantages of Cash Cards are:
- No maintaining balance
- Free ATM withdrawal, free ATM deposit, free ATM balance inquiry, and free over-the-counter deposit (for most, but not all)
- You can attach it to your Internet banking account, so you can transfer money to it online (for many, but not all)
- No annual fee (for most, but not all)
- No expiration date (for most, but not all)
- You can enroll in phone banking (for many, but not all)
Important notes to remember about Cash Cards:
- You withdraw through the ATM only; you CANNOT withdraw over the counter (for most banks, but not all).
- Reload or deposit to your cash card over the counter (for others, you can deposit through the ATM, or make ATM or online transfer).
- A cash card is NOT a regular bank account, so it’s NOT insured by the PDIC. Cash cards are debit cards and are just like prepaid cards.
- A cash card does NOT earn interest.
- As you already know, you pay a fee if you withdraw thru the ATMs of other banks.
