Five years ago, I created a post on BPI scheduled bills payment but now that doesn’t work due to significant changes on their website. This is a sequel to the previous post, and I will show you how to schedule BPI bill payments in 2024.
If you want a convenient way to receive funds, you can generate a BPI QR code so you can share it with your family and friends easily.
BPI has recently revamped its website to make it responsive for desktop and mobile. Also, they changed their web URL. Before, you could access BPI online through www.bpiexpressonline.com but now they changed it to www.bpi.com.ph. So even if you go to the previous URL, it would automatically redirect to the new URL.
The more critical upgrade is the integration of One Time Pin (OTP) for every relevant transaction. This is similar to Google’s Two Factor Authentication (2FA) where you could enable an additional security layer to ensure no one’s messing with your account. Smart move and a significant improvement for BPI.
How to Add an Account in BPI Online for Money Transfer in 2023
It is worth noting that this guide works only on mobile. Unlike other transactions that could be done with just OTP, in this request, you need to scan and email the enrollment form for it to be processed. Security reasons, I suppose.
- Log on to BPI Online mobile app
- On the lower right corner, tap More then General Settings
- Scroll down then tap Manage Billers and Payees
- Click Add New Recipient
- On the dropdown menu, select Other Person’s Accounts (Note: You can only enroll other person’s account in the BPI mobile app)
- Enter the Account Name and Account Number
- On the dropdown, choose the Relationship option
- On the other dropdown, select the Purpose option
- Click Next
- Review the information and click Confirm
- Click Download Enrollment Form. Write your name and signature. Affix your 3 specimen signatures on the boxes
- Email to [email protected] and use the subject “Enrollment Request-Third Party Accounts“
- Once confirmed, the enrolled account will appear as one of the Billers.

When you enroll in scheduled billing, does it mean bpi will automatically debit from you account? thanks
Yes! That is actually the purpose of scheduled billing — automation. As long the source account has sufficient funds, it will process the transaction as scheduled.
This is such a big help! Thank you!
You’re welcome!
