You can send money to the Philippines from Saudi Arabia at the offices of BDO Remittance Partners in Saudi Arabia.

If you want to open a BDO Kabayan savings account in Saudi Arabia, ask any of these remittance partners.

National Museum, Riyadh, KSA

Remember though that if you apply for an account, it might take a month before your passbook and ATM card becomes available for pick-up. There’s also a fee in opening a BDO account — most probably to pay couriers for the shipment of documents to and from BDO in the Philippines.

After your application is received and approved by BDO in the Philippines, your account will be activated, and will be ready to accept your remittance. You can check your remittances through BDO Remit Status Inquiry.

Note too that you cannot yet use your BDO Kabayan ATM card in Saudi Arabia because it is not yet activated. You can activate your atm card only at a BDO atm machine in the Philippines.  You can also have your passbook updated over the counter at BDO when you take your vacation in the Philippines.
