How to open a BDO Nomura account online? It’s so easy, and you’ll get approved so fast following the steps on this page. You won’t need to provide IDs and TIN on the initial application process because it is linked to BDO banking.
The withdrawal process is more straightforward as well because it is linked to your BDO accounts.
BDO, the number 1 bank in the Philippines, has partnered with Nomura Holdings of Japan in launching BDO Nomura Securities, Inc, a new online trading platform available for investors and traders.
We listed the latest online trading platforms in the Philippines, and BDO has finally joined the house of online trading brokers accredited by the Philippine Stock Exchange.
This new broker and partnership also aim to provide stock brokerage services to clients abroad and eventually provide a platform to connect Filipino investors to the international stock markets.
Wow, I am patiently waiting for international stock markets to be available on my online trading platform. Do you think BDO Nomura will be the first online broker that will cater to global stock markets?
Anyway, I’m sharing here how I opened my BDO Nomura account online. It’s effortless and simple. No need to submit IDs, proof of funds, and the likes. I am also surprised I did not have to provide TIN during the application process, although BDO keeps a record of it already.

Who can open an account:
- Anyone, 18 years old or above, local or foreign
What you’ll need:
- An Active BDO Online Banking Account with your updated mobile number (for OTP)

BDO Nomura Online Trading
I told you it was so easy. I suggest you open your account before 3pm because BDO has a cut-off time for processing of new applications. Online Application submitted beyond cut off shall be processed on the next banking day.
Now that BDO has a new trading platform, do you think it will outperform COL Financial in terms of clients and its current standing as the best online broker firm? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Hello There,
I cant seem to log in at Nomura. After signing up and trying to log in, it says, Invalid First Effective Date on the app on my iphone and when i tried on my laptop it says “Unable to log in. Please try again later”. I’ve trying since last night and cant get to work. I get my OTP via bdo app and my roaming number is now blocked coz i havent used it for a long time. Please help. Thanks
Hi, for trading, I always recommend to use a desktop or laptop as mobile apps are not always reliable and updated especially when you’re charting and viewing stats.
im also experiencing it now. did you fixed it??? how po??
Hi, If I am international how can I open an online brokerage account since I don’t have international Telephone number ?
Use your international mobile phone number
Dear Ms. Fehl,
Thank you for your helpful explanations and replies to comments concerning BDO Nomura.
My questions deal with actual purchases made by a client.
Thank you for any assistance.
Michael
1. As of this date, September 15, 2018, can a Nomura client purchase no-load mutual funds that are based in the USA? Example: Fidelity Funds, Vanguard Funds, etc.
2. Can one purchase stocks on the NYSE or NASDAQ?
3. If YES, to either of those questions, how does Nomura charge in such a purchase?
4. If NO, then can you name any reliable Filipino locations with stellar credentials that can purchase such items?
Hi Ms. Fehl.
Been reading your articles from the time i got interested in stocks. I tried BDO Nomura and started buying. Now i got an email from them advising me that they have recorded my transactions with attached transaction details. However, there is a statement saying i need to settle within 3 trading days or else…what does it mean? My portfolio shows i have enough fund to cover these purchases. I sent them an email clarification but no response yet.
Appreciate your help.
Keep up the good work.
BR,
Ron

Yes, you can open online banking for your ATM savings account. Then open BDO Nomura. I did not see any app yet officially launch by BDO Nomura, same with with PSE Tradex, did not receive any official message yet from BDO Nomura about connecting that app
Hi Maam,
Nag-try akong mag-open following these steps. Gaano katagal bago mo po mareceive ung email welcoming you to nomura?
Thanks
how long it will take before you will be receiving your pin…because I am still waiting for the pin I’ve already checked the spam folder.. it’s been 2 days that i’ve sign up and until now I am still waiting for that pin.
W0w, BDO just rejected my application.

Wonder what’s the reason behind that?
Kayu ba may TIN number na nilagay nung nag apply kayu for opening of BDO ATM Saving Account…baka wala? kaya nireject nang Nomura.
Hello maam Fehl,
when buying stocks, ano po yung ilalagay sa Disclosed? tapos yung price bracket may mababa at mataas na price. if I select the lesser price tapos nakadisplay na tumataas na ang price ng stock, how will it affect the purchase? your response is greatly appreciated maam
Hi, you need to provide the number of shares you want to buy and the price from the ASK column. If you want immediate buy, choose the highest asked price or the second one. The order will be executed immediately that way
how to activate bdo online banking if youre already abroad?
Every time i click the “trade” button, i was asked for the PIN code and change it. Is there a default PIn code so i change it?
Thanks for the answer
The PIN Code is the code that has been emailed to you by PSETradex. Check it out and use it or request a new one if it’s not working anymore
dear ms fehl
