Bank checks
BPI
Are contacting foreigners who bank with them to call in and up date your account profiles, even if you are only a recent account.
Do not worry if you get such a call, just take your passport and go in and see them. You will complete what in effect is another account opening form, they will xerox your passport. They add these two documents to your account file, even if they already have them lol.
Your spouse is not required even if it is a joint account as she is not a foreigner...or is she/he!!
In addition you will be asked to sign a declaration to the effect that you are or are not a USA citizen. What happens if you are a US citizen is unknown as I am not so I was just completing a 'nil' return.
This is purely an internal reporting mechanism to meet the banks compliance requirements.
Just so you know
