Retirement doesn’t necessarily mean slowing down.
Many seniors find joy in life after 60. They can travel, pursue hobbies, stay active in their communities, start small businesses, or spend more time with family and grandchildren. Some continue working, while others use their savings to support their loved ones and pursue their passions.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, Filipinos aged 60 and above now make up nearly 10 percent of the country’s population. Many seniors also continue working beyond retirement age, with 3.4 million seniors still part of the labor force in 2025.
Regardless of their plans, one thing is crucial: ensuring that the savings they worked hard to build remain secure and accessible as they enjoy their golden years.
Celebrating a legacy of hard work
On Grandparents’ Month, BDO honors seniors who continue to make the most of every chapter of life by helping them protect and grow their wealth.
With a dependable savings account, seniors can keep their funds secure while enjoying convenient access to their hard-earned money. BDO Prime Savers, a savings account designed for clients aged 60 and above, offers benefits that enhance everyday banking, including:
-
- Priority service in branches for reduced waiting times
- Preferential foreign exchange rates for easier travel or support for family abroad
- Convenient online account opening without the need for branch visits
These features are tailored to make banking easier for seniors, whether they’re managing their finances, supporting loved ones, or simply enjoying more freedom with their money.
Making every retirement year rewarding
Saving can be incredibly rewarding in various ways. From September 1 to 30, 2026, eligible clients who open a Prime Savers* account with an initial deposit of at least ₱100,000, or a Prime Savers Dollar account with at least US$2,000, can receive a ₱500 SM Gift Pass.
