If you want to open a savings account and looking for those who offer low initial deposit and maintaining balance, Eastwest bank basic savings account might be the one for you.

Eastwest bank basic savings account requirements

  • Valid ID
  • 1×1 or 2×2 picture
  • Proof of billing

*New requirement:

  • TIN number (in earlier part of 2016, almost all establishments doing financial transactions ask to require TIN numbers from their clients/customers)

Steps how to open Eastwest bank basic savings account

1. Go to the nearest Eastwest bank in your area. Advise the bank officer that you’re going to open their basic savings account.

3. Fill up the form and submit it to the bank officer. Make sure to double check all the information.

            The billing address must be under your name. I’ve just checked their eastwood branch. I asked if it could be under the name of my father but they said no and advised me to get a barangay clearance in our area.

          Yes, you can use your wife’s credit card statement as your proof of billing. Just be sure to present an authorization from her. It’s best to call the branch first before applying to be sure that your requirements are complete.

    Kakagaling ko lng sa east west bank sa local area namin. Kelangan nila 2 2×2 ID pics, photo copy of 2 valid IDs, TIN/SSS/BIR, Proof of billing. Sa case ko, SSS # lang ang meron ako so yun lang binigay ko. proof of billing naman nka pangalan sa tatay ko. Hiningan ako ng photocopy ng Birth certificate ko. Buti may extra akong dala. Madaming papeles kelangan e fill up. E fill up nyo lang kelangan kasi for the record lang naman din daw yung info na kukunin. 100 initial deposit. Yun na muna dineposit ko. hehe. For Paypal, verified nanaman paypal ko through union bank (na na expire na) before, so e add ko lang to sa bank list sa paypal at gawing primary bank.

    Hi,
    is there a monthly deposit required in EastWest Basic Savings Account?
    And do they accept a student/school ID?

    Thanks.

      Hi Don, every branch has different process. Some branches allow that but not all. The best thing to do is to visit the nearest branch in your area. Thanks!

    Hello sir, yung company naglalakad para pag open ng atm ko, dalawang valid ID kinuha sakin binigay ko un company ID and yung PNP Non-commissioned officer kaso di daw magkaparehas ung address, kasi yun time na yun lumipat kami ng tirahan kaya ang present address ko nakalagay sa company ID. Paano un, yun lang dalawa ang valid ID ko?

    I went to BPI and BDO to open a savings account.
    Sadly,I was unable to because they do not accept TIN, Philhealth and company ID.
    I’ll drop by the nearest Eastwest Bank tomorrow and i hope I will be allowed to open an account using my IDs.

      Update lang po.

      Nakapag open po ako ng savings account nung Aug.2 ,pero ngayon ko lang nakakuha yung atm. Nagkaroon daw kasi ng delay.
      Bukas pa daw activation and change PIN.

      They accepted my IDs naman. I presented 3. Philheath,TIN and Company ID. Pinaxerox ko na rin para sure. May scanner din naman sila if needed.

      Hindi na ako masyadong hiningian ng requirements, nakalimutan pa nga huminga ng proof of billing kaya proactive kong binigay.
      I dont know pero advantage siguro yung tagong branch,konti lang tao.
      Inallow nga rin mag open ate ko na isang ID lang ang dala.

    I’m currently unemployed. Still looking for a job. Can I open a basic savings account with Eastwest bank? I also don’t have a proof of billing under my name that I can submit. Do they accept Barangay clearance?
    I have three ID’s I can present. Voter’s ID, Postal ID and UMID. What do you think are the chances that I can open an account with them. Thanks in advance to future answers.
