Island-wide convenience. BDO’s presence across Siargao makes island living easier and more fun for locals, entrepreneurs and tourists.
In Siargao, mornings begin with the pull of the tide, afternoons buzz with laptops in cozy cafés, and nights glow with music by the shore. Now, life on the island flows even smoother with BDO’s full presence, making everyday banking simple, secure and right within reach.
At the new BDO Unibank Siargao branch in Siargao Town Center, locals, entrepreneurs, and tourists can enjoy savings and deposit products, loans, remittance services, foreign exchange, and on-site ATMs—all without leaving the island.
With smart innovations such as the Universal Teller Machine (UTM), Service Account Machine (SAM), and Account Assist Kiosk, transactions are faster and more convenient, while friendly branch personnel are ready to help from 8:30am to 5:30pm, Monday to Saturday.
“Banking should be as smooth as island life,” says Head of Branch Banking Cora A. Mallillin. “When we opened in Siargao, it meant people no longer had to leave the island just to send money, pay bills, or handle their finances. Whether you’re a local growing your livelihood or a visitor chasing the next wave, we want banking to feel easy, simple, secure, and within reach."
Better business with seamless payments
At Siargao Beach Club, a favorite spot for dining and nightlife, busy nights used to mean juggling multiple transactions, giving the correct change, and securing funds until morning.
Today, guests simply tap or swipe their credit and debit cards, or scan QR codes to settle their bills—thanks to BDO’s full suite of digital payment solutions.
“With faster and more secure payments, we can serve our guests efficiently, especially when the club is full,” shares General Manager Rey Dacalos.
Island life glowing. For Siargao Beach Club, the beautiful island paradise is even more welcoming to visitors thanks to BDO’s island-wide presence.
Banking now within reach
There was a time when banking in Siargao meant boat rides to other islands. Business owners had to shuffle large amounts of cash, and tourists needed to withdraw enough to last their stay.
With the collective presence of BDO Unibank branch in Siargao Town Center, BDO Network Bank branches in Dapa and General Luna, and 72 Cash Agad partner agents across barangays, financial services are now woven into island life.
For entrepreneurs, BDO helps streamline payroll and supplier payments with cash management services, track collections easily, and expand their business through flexible financing options for new equipment or working capital.
Locals and tourists can enjoy 24/7 access to BDO Online and BDO Pay to easily transfer funds, pay bills, or monitor transactions. They can also exchange foreign currency or withdraw from on-site ATMs and choose cashless options using BDO point-of-sale terminals.
A trusted partner for Siargao’s growth
As the island continues to flourish, BDO is committed to being its steady partner, finding ways to meet the banking needs of its growing residents and many visitors. Whether it’s helping locals save, supporting businesses, or making life easier for visitors, BDO’s full-service banking on the island helps everyone enjoy more of what Siargao is all about.
