Google Wallet launched in the Philippines in November 2025 with several participating banks and financial institutions. BDO was not among the initial issuers, but its cards now appear to be supported on the platform.
Once added, the BDO card can be used for tap-to-pay transactions at participating contactless payment terminals, giving cardholders another way to pay without carrying their physical card.
The development also comes as BDO updates its credit card terms to cover digital wallets and tokenized transactions, with the changes taking effect on October 6, 2026.
As BDO has yet to make a formal announcement on the integration, availability may vary depending on the specific card. KKBuddies can check Google Wallet to see if their eligible BDO card can be added.
This is a developing story. KasKasan Buddies will wait for BDO’s official announcement and further details on the Google Wallet integration.
