I have visited Philippines before, and have checked with several banks, but have not yet found one willing to open a bank account for me. I'm not an expat, but am a fairly regular visitor and an account would be very convenient for me so that I don't have to carry large amounts of money when I am there. Does anybody know of a bank willing to open an account for a foreigner?
Can an American visitor open a bank account in Philippines?
