BPI savings account rates
BPI's best account for ₱100,000 is #SaveUp at 0.0925% a year (BPI rate page, as listed on October 2, 2026). Left for a year, ₱100,000 earns ₱74.03 after the 20% final tax, 17th of the 18 banks on this site.
Our take: keep only your day-to-day money at BPI. For money you can set aside, UNOBank's #UNOboost Time Deposit leaves ₱4,325.97 more on the same ₱100,000 a year after tax (see UNOBank).

Savings: your balance stays at ₱100,000, interest is credited monthly and what is left after tax keeps earning.
Worked example, #SaveUp: ₱100,000 × 0.0925% (BPI rate page, as listed on October 2, 2026), with the after-tax interest added each month, = ₱92.53 gross. Less the 20% final tax (₱18.51; RA 12214, BIR RR 21-2025 from July 1, 2025) = ₱74.03 you keep. Compare it with every savings account in the digital bank rankings.
The 20% final tax applies from July 1, 2025 under Sections 24(B)(1) and 25(A)(1) of the Tax Code, as amended by RA 12214 (Capital Markets Efficiency Promotion Act) (BIR, RR 21-2025). It replaced the old exemption for deposits of five years or more; see the final withholding tax and time deposit vs MP2 after tax.

Is your money insured?
The PDIC insures deposits up to ₱1,000,000 per depositor, per bank, effective March 15, 2025, set by the PDIC Board under the PDIC Charter (RA 3591, as amended by RA 11840). All your BPI accounts in your own name are added together; anything above ₱1,000,000 there would not be insured if the bank closed. ₱1,500,000 kept as ₱1,000,000 at BPI and ₱500,000 at another bank is fully insured; the same ₱1,500,000 at BPI alone leaves ₱500,000 uninsured. PDIC
- Your single accounts and accounts held "by", "in trust for" or "for the account of" you at the same bank are added together as one.
- A joint account is insured separately from your single accounts, whether it uses "and", "or" or "and/or".
- Unless the account documents say otherwise, a joint account's insured amount is split equally among the co-owners.
- Your shares across several joint accounts at the same bank are added together and insured up to the maximum.
- Any loan you owe the closed bank is deducted from your deposits there.
- Investment products such as bonds, securities and trust accounts are not deposits and are not insured.
Rules from the PDIC deposit insurance brochure. Work out your own cover, joint accounts included, in the PDIC deposit insurance calculator.

Questions
Is BPI safe?
The BSP Verifier list updated September 28, 2026 has Bank of the Philippine Islands as a universal and commercial bank, so its deposits are PDIC-insured up to ₱1,000,000 per depositor, per bank, effective March 15, 2025. BSP Verifier
Do I declare BPI interest on my income tax return?
No. Since July 1, 2025, the 20% that BPI withholds is a final tax under RA 12214 and BIR RR 21-2025, so the interest is not added to your taxable income. BIR, Revenue Regulations No. 21-2025 digest
