I just opened an account at Bank of Commerce, No TIN required, but had to sign my name around 15 times. No prob for me while I had a coffee with the manager... I also have a BPI accout and wasn't asked for a TIN...
BDO does not require this. I think it was BDI that I visited that did though. Just wait until you decide to start a dollar account ! Better have 500 U.S dollars on you or it ain't going to happen !!!
