Most Philippine banks charges a dormancy fee in an amount ranging
from P300 to P500 per month.

Dormancy fee is charged only if a dormant account's balance falls
below the required minimum monthly ADB. Account is tagged dormant if
there is no client-initiated transaction within 12 months for
checking accounts and within 24 months for savings accounts.

      No transaction under the Manual of Regulations for Philippine
      banks means savings account or checking accounts showing no
      activity. No activity means no deposit or withdrawal.

Why do Philippine banks like BDO charges a dormancy fee?
Because the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, which under the law regulates
the banking industry allowed the banks to do so.

The powers and function of Bangko Sentral are exercised by its
Monetary Board.

      The Philippine Monetary Board allow banks to impose and collect
      service charges and/or maintenance fees on savings and demand
      deposit accounts, whether active or dormant, that fall below the
      required minimum monthly average daily balance (ADB).

Note: The bank must inform the depositor at least sixty (60) days prior
          to the imposition of dormancy fee. This should be done through
          registered mail with return card on the depositors last known
          address.
