What is a BPI Online Account?
BPI or Bank of the Philippine Islands is a bank in the Philippines. It is one of the largest banks in Asia and the second-largest bank in the Philippines.
A BPI online account is the account that is used by the BPI customers to log in to their banking dashboard. Like any other banks, the BPI online dashboard allows you to send, receive, and manage money on your BPI bank account.
Method 1. Recover BPI Online account if you forgot the password
Recovering a BPI Online account with a forgotten password works like this:
- Open www.bpiexpressonline.com or bpi.com.ph in your browser.
- Click on Login in the upper right corner.
- Click on the Forgot Password link below.
- Now, enter your username into the first text field, and select the type of account you use to have with them.
- Whichever of the options you selected, you’ll get two new fields to fill.

Method 2. BPI Online account recovery with no phone number
If BPI detects you’re in an unfamiliar location, you’ll have to enter OTP (One-Time PIN) on top of the username and password.
