Hi,
I have my state pension, military pension transferred to my bank account at BPI.
There is no transfer fees on state pension. Also you get the pension rises as you would in UK. I have found that BPI are very good with the transfer takes 3 days.
I live in Cagayan de Oro.

Further to the above, from the 1st April 2012 the method of payment is Direct Payment to a suitable bank, you will need to supply the following,

Name and Address of Bank
Bank Account No
Swift Code (IBAN) or Sort Code
Name of person shown on the account.

Hi Dave, slightly off the subject, I am condsidering retiring to Phils and notice you´re ex-military, I am ex-military and Fire Service so our outlook on life would probably be similar. So any advice as to where to live (safety etc.) and basic income required to live reasonably comfortably in retirement (no working, just hobbies to pass the days away) would be much appreciated. Can supply you with a e-mail/messenger if you want.

Funnily enough, I am also ex mil. But you would never guess by my user name! Does anyone know of an RBL in the Philippines? Am moving to Angeles City.
