Hello po. Ano-ano po ba yun bank na member ng Transunion? Thanks po

TU and Non TU Banks😁 pero wala sa list si CITI at si AUB. Baka hindi ito updated. Got this sa post ng isa din nating kapexer😀
Unionbank ko 12k lang ang limit hahaha kainis gold nga pero 12k lang. Tapos 3k ang annual fee.
I believe this list of TU and Non-TU banks are from a Citibank Agent.
They use this as reference for when and when not to accept reference cards when applying for a credit card by minimum CL required per bank.

Also posted on HSBC Credit Cards (Thread 3)
Kaso hindi na updated ang American Express, Diners, Equitable Card Network ay kasama na sa BDO, nagsanib-pwersa na ang PNB at ABC; at EWB at SCB.

Ang nakapagtataka lang bakit gusto ng BDO sa reference ay BPI, MCC, Citi, at HSBC lamang...na kaya tayo may hinuha na sila at sila lang din ang mga kaanib ng TU...
Tama. Hindi na updated ang listahan.

Maaring ang mga bagong miyembro ng TU ay hindi gaanong madalas nagpapada ng report sa TU.

Ayon sa aking nakuhang credit report mula sa TU, bukod sa limang banko (BDO, BPI, MBTC, HSBC, CITIBANK), naandoon sa report ay ang:
- Union Bank
- Bankard
(oo, Bankard lang nakalagay hindi RCBC Bankard)
Mayroon akong Security Bank ngunit hindi ito nakalagay sa report.
Sana ay ipaskil na lang nila sa kanilang website ang lahat ng miyembro ng TU bukod sa lima

Pero sana nga lahat sila ay maging kaanib na ng TU... Masama na ang AUB, RBank, atbp.

Speaking of BANKARD, ang legal name ay "BANKARD, INC." and traded as "BKD" in PSE.

Mas lalong hindi "RCBC Bankard" - ito lamang ay para sa kapakanan ng "doing business as" o pampublikong pangalan.

Ito lamang ang aking sagot sa mga bumatikos sa akin kung bakit ko raw tinanggal ang "RCBC" sa pamagat ng sinulid 4 ng Bankard.

"BANKARD, INC." lamang po ang legal name ng RCBC Bankard.

Ways to Keep your RCBC Bankard credit card in Good Credit Standing

1. Make sure you pay at least the full minimum amount due on your card as often as possible. If you are sticking to your monthly budget, this shouldn’t be a problem. Don’t overspend! Take advantage of your RCBC Bankard’s free, customized, spend management tool called Spend Analyzer. It allows you to plan your card usage by printing an expense summary table on your monthly statement of account. In one glance, you’ll be able to see your family’s expenditures for the month’s cycle and the year-to-date cycle.

2. Hold on to your transaction receipts so that you can refer to them whenever you are in doubt of a particular entry in your monthly statement of account. Save all of your transaction receipts. This will serve as your proof in case there are erroneous postings in your monthly statements.

To keep track of your card transactions and manage your budget, enroll in the RCBC Bankard Spend Monitor and enjoy peace of mind with real-time SMS advisory that keeps you informed of your card transactions. The best part about this is that this service is free-of-charge!

3. Owning a credit card is a privilege, not a right. A credit card is a financial tool that you should use responsibly. Pay your credit card bill on time and at least the minimum amount due in full each month to avoid interest charges and late payment fees.

If you’re a good cardholder, your RCBC Bankard will generously reward you with credit limit increases and special perks. Settle your monthly dues right in the comfort and convenience of your home via an online payment facility powered by BancNet. No need to line up in the bank or payment centers! All you need is a BancNet account. See all payment channels here.

4. Have an organized credit life. Managing more than one credit card can be tedious and stressful. Here are some tips on how to make this hassle-free: (1) use one card exclusively for one particular type of purchase; (2) keep a list of the different due dates and balances for each card; and (3) set up auto-debit arrangements with RCBC or RSB Savings to make sure paying your monthly credit card bills is done effortlessly and on time

Of course, the best option is to consolidate all your spending on your RCBC Bankard and generate savings for yourself by enjoying rebates on your interest charges. Learn more about Balance Transfer. Talk to our Customer Service Representative by calling 8881888.

5. Never let others use your card or share your PIN to avoid problems that may arise from fraudulent charges. Not only will these fraudulent charges give you a headache, more importantly, it will destroy your credit worthiness. Be vigilant. If, however, you want to share your card privileges with your loved ones and chosen household staff, the best way is to get them Supplementary Cards. Their first-year membership fees will be waived. You may apply online here or call 8881888.

6. Read all pertinent messages, updates, and/or notices printed on your MBS/SOA. Read all pertinent messages, updates, and/or notices printed on your Statement of Account. This will help you in keeping your RCBC Bankard credit card account in good order and standing.

Your RCBC Bankard has set up convenient ways for you to access your monthly statements of account. Log on to website or enroll in the eMBS/eSOA Via Email facility to have your monthly statements sent directly to your email address thereby insuring that you will get your statements on time.

7. Keep your Credit Card information secure at all times. Do not fall victim to phishing websites, emails or prank calls asking for your credit card details. Be smart in determining the need to divulge these information and the manner it will be done. For your security, immediately sign at the back of your credit card upon receipt.

Strong7Power · October 2017

Have a truly rewarding and secure credit card experience with your RCBC Bankard!

Here are some tips to keep your credit card safe:

1. Never divulge your card number, online passwords and, most importantly, the last three digits at the back of your card to anyone. If you have been issued a Personal Identification Number (PIN), memorize it and destroy the mailer on which it was sent.

2. Before signing, check whether the amount printed on your transaction slip is the actual amount of your purchase.

3. Never surrender your card to anyone for whatever reason. We can provide all the services you need (i.e., balance transfer, card upgrade or replacement, increase in credit limit) without getting your card from you.

4. Never respond to fraudulent e-mails especially those that are requesting for confidential account information. If you’ve received any emails like this or responded to one already, please call 888-1-888 or 1800-10-888-1-888 immediately.

5. When dining or shopping, always personally hand over your card to the cashier and take note of the length of time before your card is returned to you.

RCBC Bankard also provides free SMS alerts on your card transactions, including those of your supplementary cardholders. Just enroll in SPEND MONITOR by calling 888-1-888 or enroll online here.

If you are into online shopping, request for web shopper. It’s a complimentary reference device with a set limit of Php10,000. Request online here or call 888-1-888.

Together, let’s ensure that your RCBC Bankard account remains safe and you remain stress-free!
