Filipinos and Philippine businesses are on the move! With swelling overseas deployment and new enterprises, Bank Certificates for issuance of foreign visas and Treasurer-in-Trust-for (TITF) Certificates for corporate registration, respectively, are on the upsurge.

To address the need of embassies or consulates on the one hand, and the Securities and Exchange Commission, on the other, to validate said Certificates, PSBank is now enabling this thru our website.

A prerequisite to the use of these online inquiries is a duly accepted and signed waiver of the depositor’s rights under the Secrecy of Bank Deposits Law (RA 1405), as part of your application procedures. Availment then of our inquiry facility is ipso facto acknowledgement by the duly authorized user that this condition has been met.

Depending on the type of deposit account, the following details shall be included in the authenticated bank certification:

• Savings/Current Accounts
  • Date Opened
  • Initial Deposit
  • Account Name
  • Average Daily Balance (ADB) for the last six months
  • Current Balance
  • Date the Certification was Issued

• Time Deposit Accounts 
  
  • Date Opened

These secure and reliable authentication procedures are PSBank’s answer to the risk on bogus or tampered bank and TITF certifications upon which visa approvals and company registrations are based.
