I am interested in opening banking in the Philippines for real estate development. What are the procedures with Wells Fargo
Hi Al, sorry but there’s no Wells Fargo branch in the Philippines. Citibank is the only US bank that has a branch in the Philippines offering services to both corporate and consumer customers in the Philippines. Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase Bank cater only to corporate and institutional clients.
I have check Wells Fargo can I in cash it there in Wells Fargo Makati branch? If not where should I incash it? For deposit i don’t have dollar account in Philippines.
Hi Julie, sorry, yong Wells Fargo sa Makati ay representative office lang. Hindi sila nag-o-operate as a regular bank. For promotions lang sila. Kung malaki ang amount, open a US dollar account at BDO or BPI or any other Philippine bank, then ideposit mo ang check mo. Ang usual clearing ng US check ay 3 weeks to one month.
Hello, can we request a bank draft payable into Hong Kong dollar for payment of police clearance ?,,please help.
Hi Jane, did you mean HK police clearance? This Wells Fargo in the Philippines is not a regular bank. It’s only a representative bank. It does not issue bank drafts. If someone mentioned Wells Fargo bank draft, most probably they mean Wells Fargo in the U.S. If you have a relative or friend in the U.S., maybe you can ask them to lend you money through a bank draft payable in HK dollars and send the draft to you by courier. But this might be impractical if courier cost almost equals your travel cost to HK. I’ve read online that other banks here in the Phils issue only bank drafts in HK dollars if you have been their checking account owner for at least 6 months. Ask your bank where you have maintained an account for a long time, whether savings or checking. Or maybe it’s more practical to just travel to HK to apply for your police clearance. Or maybe you have a trusted friend in HK who also has a checking account with a HK bank.
Hi there! If I open a checking account at Wells Fargo ihere n Anchorage Alaska. Can I send money to my BDO dollar account or PNB peso account? Is so, how? Thank you.
Hi Maria, yes, checking account is okay, but you can send only to your PNB peso account. It’s Wells Fargo that will convert your dollars into peso. First, visit your nearest Wells Fargo, then, to be sure, ask if they offer ExpressSend. Fill up forms and register your PNB account as your receiver. For your next remittances, you can use your online banking.
If you like to send dollars to your BDO dollar account, use the online remittance service Xoom. Xoom allows receipt or credit in dollars.
Pwede bang landbank account ditto?
Do you have ATM services for withdrawal of money from your US based Wells Fargo debit card account?
Hi Cynthia, walang Wells Fargo ATM dito. Pero karamihan naman ng foreign-issued ATM cards na linked to Mastercard or Visa ay puedeng pangwidro dito sa mga local atm machines dito. Meron lang atm withdrawal fee na 200 pesos or more per atm withdrawal
Hi! I’m already here in the PH and I can’t send my money thru xoom also I can’t send money thru zelle. I don’t know what to do, to get my money in debit card wells fargo? Can you help me?
Hi Elaine, have you tried withdrawing at the ATMs of BPI, BDO, Metrobank, HSBC or Citibank? The charge per ATM withdrawal is 250 pesos or more. Withdraw in peso amount. Try the maximum atm withdrawal amount (10k or more) so you can save on the transaction fee. Choose an ATM inside a bank so that in case there’s a problem, you can ask the bank.
Greetings!
My sister is 70 years old. She is receiving pension from US has a Wells Fargo debit card that she hasn’t used for a long time because its her husband who always makes the withdrawal. Her hubby passed away just recently. Now that she is on her own, she has already forgotten her pin number.
*Can BDO or any bank affiliated to Wells F help her change her pin number?
* Can she withdraw over the counter and how much is the limit per day?
Please please help us cause she needs money for her personal needs like food,
rent,,medicine as she is a stroke patient and badly needs therapy.
many thanks for your attention.
Hi Marivic, sorry, no, banks do not have access to other banks’ PIN number systems. And most banks now require account owners to get replacement cards once they forget their PINs. You can contact the Federal Benefits Unit at the US Embassy in the Philippines. Go to this link: https://ph.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/social-security/contact/ There’s info here including email address, phone numbers and instructions.
Just for additional info, your sister can open a Direct Deposit account to receive her US SSS pension at PNB, Metrobank, BPI or BDO. I wrote PNB first because PNB has 2 branches in the US (in LA and NY). Metrobank has one in NY. The problem is how to get the pension that’s already deposited at Wells Fargo. So I think it’s better to first ask help from the US Embassy, so they can advise you.
I have a Wells Fargo checking account in the US plus BDO USD saving account in the Philippines, I was told while in the US I could transfer my money from my US account to BDO USD savings account but now Wells Fargo refuses to do so, why?
PS: Can I read a check from my US account to BDO USD savings account?
Hi Freddy, you can do the transfer if you’re enrolled in Wells Fargo online banking and enrolled in their ExpressSend service. There’s info here on WellsFargo: ExpressSend to the Philippines. About check: Yes, you can deposit your Wells Fargo check to your BDO dollar account, but clearing will take 3 weeks to a month. Ask BDO if clearing for US checks has improved.
hi nora, i would like to ask, how can i contact wells fargo representative here in the philippines? can i ask a number if possible?
Hi Emmanuel, sorry I missed your question. I saw this info on the BSP website: 884 8426, pero 8884 8426 na dapat kasi nagdagdag ng digit 8 ang PLDT. email address of representative: imelda.capistrano@wellsfargo.com.
Hi po! Meron po bang wells fargo malapit sa olongapo city or subic. Kasi po yung uncle ko need nya raw pumunta sa wells fargo sabi ng kapatid nya sa north carolina dahil may pera daw sya doon dalhin nya lang daw ang mga documents nya. May sakit po ang uncle ko at hirap bumyahe papuntang makaty city kaya nga rin po sya umuwi ng pinas dahil di na raw nya kaya ang klima sa north carolina naoperahan sya sa puso. Pano po kaya makiclaim ang pera nya sa wells fargo? Thank you.
Hi Rowell, kausapin mo uli ang kapatid niya sa North Carolina kung sure siya na makukuha sa Wells Fargo sa Makati, kasi hindi naman Wells Fargo Bank yong andon kundi Wells Fargo representative office. Pakiusapan mo na gawan ng paraan na makuha nio ang pera sa ibang bank like BPI or BDO or PNB. Ang Wells Fargo sa USA ay merong remittance service na ExpressSend — tawagan o pumunta lang sa Wells Fargo branch and ask about ExpressSend to the Philippines. Kung meron kayong account sa BPI, BDO, PNB or Metrobank, puede ideposit doon sa account nio. Kung wala, pudeng ipadala for cash pickup at MLhuillier or Cebuana.
