BPITRADE
YOUR ONLINE INVESTMENT CHANNEL


 

BPITrade (www.bpitrade.com), the online investment facility that introduced you to online, real-time Equity Trading in May 2000, launched its Government Securities module in August 2001 and introduced Common Trust Funds and Mutual Funds online in February 2003.

With the age of electronic communication, it is almost unthinkable not to have a Personal Computer (PC), internet access and cellular phone.  Communication and Investing is simply a few clicks away. If you remember, just a few years ago, communicating through PCs was a normal form of business. Now even domestic household help have their own personalized cellular phones. What this simply tells us is that people pay for immediate communication access. Communication is made easier and more convenient but not necessarily more expensive.  Why not have this convenience applied to Investments?  BPITrade is BPI’s response. BPITrade  – convenient, cost efficient and secured.

With BPITrade, it becomes Convenient to invest online.  You can buy and sell stocks listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange and selected Fixed Income instruments online. Both types of investments are available practically 24/7. During their respective trading hours, you will receive real-time updates on the status of your matched orders or customized price alerts via email or cellular phone. The beauty of this investment channel is that BPITrade serves as the medium of investment products managed or sold by different entities.  Government Securities like Treasury Bills, Fixed Rate Treasury Notes and Retail Treasury Bonds are transacted through BPI Capital, the investment house of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (“BPI”).  Stocks listed in the PSE are transacted through BPI Securities, 100% owned by BPI Capital. Common Trust Funds (CTFs) are sold through BPI branches while Mutual Funds (MFs) are transacted through BPI Investment Management and its authorized co-distributors. Both CTFs and MFs are managed by the BPI Asset Management Group of BPI. It’s simply amazing that four different entities make their products available online for investor’s convenience.

With BPITrade,  managing your investment portfolio is made much easier.  BPITrade gives you the flexibility to shift your investments between fixed income instruments and stock market securities.  Upon the sale of your Fixed Income investments, funds are made immediately available, same day, for stock purchases. It must be noted though that the funds from the sale of your stock market investments will be available only 3 days after Trading date, which is the normal trading practice.  Imagine, view, all in ONE screen, your investment portfolio of listed equity issues and selected fixed income instruments valued at current market prices. Simply amazing!

With BPITrade, Confidentiality and Security are protected  There is a natural sentiment to ensure that one’s investments are kept confidential and thus, BPITrade has addressed this concern.  Allow me to get a little technical here. Access to BPITrade is allowed only with approved browsers, which support 128-bit high level Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protection. These browsers have the ability to securely communicate online via encryption which changes the order of data you send and receive through the internet channel. A secure measure is also placed on our side. The information that you send us passes through a "firewall." A firewall is a computer program designed to stop unauthorized users from accessing your accounts. Just to prove how secure the system is:  if you forget your password, BPITrade personnel will not be able to remind you.  We have no way of determining your password from the database.  However, our “password reset” option is simple and efficient.  There is a “Forgot Password” option which the client can click and then fill-up a short request form. After we carefully validate your identity through a series of few special questions, you are given a new temporary password and encouraged to sign in immediately to change the temporary password. It’s that confidential, secure and simple.
