In case you’re wondering where to look for your account number on your Banco De Oro BDO ATM card, as even most of us long-time card holders encounter this dilemma once in a while – here’s how.
Firstly, you have to understand that your BDO card does not have your account number specified on it – for obvious security reasons. It does, however, show only the first five digits of your account number, as shown below:

Where to Check your BDO Account Number
Again, your account number is NOT located on your BDO card. You have to get this information directly from a BDO representative and after verifying security information. This is part of the security measures of the bank. Also, once you have gotten your BDO account number, do not give it to anyone else (unless you are making valid and legit transactions). This is also for your own security.
