BDO Family Banking: A Trusted Partner Across Generations
When Filipinos talk about building financial security, one name often stands out—BDO. More than just a bank, it has become a long-term partner for families in every stage of life. Through BDO family banking, generations of clients have turned their dreams into reality, proving that the right financial partner makes all the difference.
From Balikbayan to Business Owner
For Atty. Sylki Balagtas and her family, BDO family banking has been part of their journey since moving back from the United States in 2014. “BDO was the only bank that immediately helped us open accounts and build a credit history,” she recalled.
What began as a savings account expanded into auto loans, a home loan, credit cards, and insurance. When she established her law practice in Legazpi City, BDO also became her business ally, enabling payroll services and digital transactions for clients.

“We’re frequent visitors to the branch, coming two to three times a week. I also use the digital services—it’s so cool and easy to track my records. BDO really helped us when we first came to the Philippines, and every time we need something, they would find ways,” she shared.
Building Money Habits Early
Like the Balagtas family, entrepreneur Emily Yao also relies on BDO family banking for both personal and business needs. But what makes her story stand out is how she introduced her daughter Johana to financial literacy through BDO’s Junior Savers account.
At just six years old, Johana started a small crafts and accessories business. By age eight, she was already saving her earnings and gifts from relatives in her own account.
“I highly recommend that parents open a Junior Savers account for their children. Not only do they start saving at a young age, but they also learn the value of money and spending wisely,” Emily said.
Celebrating Loyalty Through BDO Fiesta
The stories of the Balagtas and Yao families came full circle at the first-ever BDO Fiesta in Bicolandia. More than just a festive gathering, the event showcased how BDO family banking supports clients of all ages and life stages.
At BDO Fiesta, long-time clients and new ones discovered the bank’s wide range of products, from savings and loans to insurance and digital banking tools. It became a space where families could learn more about growing their money, securing their future, and even starting their children on the path of financial literacy.
Events like these reflect BDO’s commitment to celebrating loyalty while also reaching out to the next generation of clients, ensuring that the tradition of trust continues.
A Partner for Every Generation
Stories like these show how BDO family banking empowers Filipinos—from balikbayans restarting their lives, to entrepreneurs growing businesses, and even to children learning how to save.
With BDO, families can be confident that their financial partner is ready to support them today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
