Have you experienced waiting in long queues at the BPI branch?
I have, and I swear I hate waiting in long lines especially at the bank. It’s so unproductive.
That’s why I’m so happy that my favorite banks have cash accept machines that allow me to deposit to my account or to another person’s account without having to wait in long queues.
Actually, I rarely go to the bank since most of my transactions can now be done online. I only go there if I need to deposit. However, if the bank’s deposit accept machine is offline or under maintenance, the next thing I do is to deposit money over the counter.
Unfortunately, most of the time, depositing at the bank involves long waiting time.
What’s good about BPI is that they have BPI Express Assist Online or BEA Online and I have been using it for several years now.
What is BPI Express Assist Online?
BPI Express Assist (BEA) Online is a facility that allows depositors like us to fast track our banking time by reserving a timeslot for us in the branch.
Normally, when we go to the branch, we use the machine onsite where we enter our transaction details, then we get a small paper with our Queue Number. Then we wait for our number to be shown on their TV screen or to be called by the teller.
With BPI Express Assist Online, you get your Queue Number online and it is given more priority. Your number will be called within the 30-minute timeframe of your chosen appointment schedule.
Meaning, if you chose 10:00AM – 10:30AM, your queue number will be called within that time even if there’s a lot of people in the bank who are waiting in long queues.
BPI Express Assist Online is very helpful if you don’t want to wait in long queues or if you have an urgent deposit transaction to make.
