When you use the BDO Unibank, Inc. Titanium Mastercard™ to make purchases, you accrue rewards points from your preferred retail brands. Additionally, you have access to Mastercard international specials on things like dining, golf, and shopping.
Features
The EMV chip technology on the BDO Titanium Mastercard™ enhances the security of in-store transactions. You can also activate a One-Time PIN (OTP) for online purchases. Before logging into your account, you must enter the One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number for multi-factor authentication. Furthermore, if there are any odd transactions, such as larger-than-usual withdrawals, the Bank may attempt to notify you through phone or text message. In addition to using pesos to make payments, you can also use USD dollars using the dual currency feature. The dual currency option enables you to make local payments in Philippine pesos while having your international payments charged in US dollars.
