One of the fast growing scenario in the Internet is buying online and making business online, But one could have a question on which Bank or Company could be trusted? I have made a list of banks in Philippines and their links to their online transactions. I have made a list , links and experience with this banks as follows :
I have been using Metrobank for almost 3 years in doing Online Banking transactions and all seems to be fine. I did not encounter any problem with them. Except that they turn off the third party enrollment due to Online Phishing. But its a great move. I feel safe in using their online banking.
My experience in Citibank is by using their online banking for their Credit Card. I can check my Balance and Payment made thru online. They also support Payment system thru their online Banking. I feel safe in using their online banking.

Equitable PCI Bank
I have tried to used their service before and I may say that I did not experience problem with their online system . Except that if you are an OFW and working far from Philippines you will having a hard time to get your password if in case you forget it. Which is good for us. I feel safe in using their online banking.
BDO ( Banco de Oro )

AIG
My experience in this bank is using their Credit Card system, At that time I am checking my balance thru emailing their Customer service. And since I am abroad they are replying to me after some verification question. Although this might be dangerous since you do not know where this information goes. Anyway I did not have any problem wit them.
Standard Chartered Bank Philippines
I don’t have experience at this bank but their online information
Is there any additional Bank which you think should be included in the list. At present I am using Metrobank.
Almost all this bank is working fine in I-explore and not in Fire Fox.
I would like to know your experience on the above mentioned banks. This aims to help others to feel comfortable in doing online transactions and Business. I just hope that Paypal is available in Receiving and sending money to and from Philippines. You may put the advantage and disadvantage of the Technology being used in Online Banking.
