Need pa ba talaga i-inform ang bank once mag-overpayment ka? Sana po may makapag-confirm na ok lang mag-overpayment sa BPI the proceed immediately w/ the transaction.
Btw, baka po may makasagot din how much approximately ang babayaran pag family of 3 kami. And same lang po ba surcharge ng CC at EON debit card?
Thanks po sa sasagot.
