Step 1: Visit the Play Store, App Store, or App Gallery and download the Komo app for free.

Step 2: Once installed, open the Komo app, read through the introduction screens, and tap 'Create Your Bank Account'. Confirm your intention to open a bank account by tapping 'Got it!' on the next page.

Step 3: Next, you will be asked to answer some questions to allow us to get to know you better. Please answer as accurately and honestly as possible.

Note: Komo is currently available to Filipino citizens only, however we are always striving to make Komo better. If you would like to suggest any features or services, feel free to send us a message through our social media or support channels.

Step 4: Before creating your account, please read and agree to the Terms and Conditions for using Komo.

Step 5: You will receive a one-time-PIN (OTP) through text message. Enter this number into the app to continue.

Remember: Never share your OTP with anyone. Komo representatives will never ask you for your passcode, PIN, or OTP under any circumstances.

Step 6: Create and confirm your 6-digit passcode. This is what you will use to log in to your Komo app in the future. Again, make sure to keep this passcode safe and do not share it with anyone.

Step 7: For the next part, we will be capturing your valid ID and selfie. Allow access to your camera and follow the instructions that are shown on the screen. Make sure you also have a stable internet connection and are in a well-lit area.

Step 8: Select the type of ID you want to use and take a clear picture of it. The details and photo on your ID must be clear and readable so that our team can verify your account properly.

For some IDs, you may be required to submit a photo of the back as well as the front. Make sure to check the indicator and submit the correct photo to avoid issues with your account approval.

We accept the following valid government IDs:

• Passport

• Driver’s License

• Unified Multipurpose ID (UMID)

• Social Security System ID (SSS ID)

• Professional Regulation Commission ID (PRC ID)

• Postal ID

• Voter’s ID

• National ID

Step 9: Next, you will be asked to take a live selfie. Follow the on-screen instructions and move the phone closer or farther away as instructed. Make sure you are in a well-lit area, your entire face is visibile, and you are dressed appropriately to avoid issues with account approval.

Step 10: Allow a few minutes for the photos to be uploaded. Once your ID and selfie have been successfully uploaded, we will just need you to provide some basic information for your account. This is to comply with BSP regulation and ensure the safety of your account. Again, please make sure to give complete and accurate answers (i.e. full name including your middle name, complete address, etc.) to avoid delays or account disapproval.

Step 11: Next, you will be asked to choose the name you would like to be printed on your Komo debit card. Remember to double check the spelling since we will not be able to change this anymore after the application is submitted.

Step 12: Lastly, double check all your information to make sure it's correct and complete. Once you've submitted, editing any and all information you've provided will not be possible during the account application review.

All Filipino citizens who are 18 years old and above, living in the Philippines, and who own a smartphone with a local mobile number can open a Komo account.

We usually take 24-48 hours to approve an account application, but given the ongoing quarantine protocols, our team running on a skeletal workforce, and the large volumes of new applicatons coming in, we will try our best to review your account application within 1 week from the date of submission.

Komo does not require a minimum deposit to open an account. However, to keep your account active, you are required to maintain an Average Daily Balance (ADB) of at least ₱2,000 for 2 consecutive months.

Log in and tap the menu icon (three lines) on the upper left of the app dashboard. Then, tap 'View Your Profile' under your name and tap the 'Verify' button next to your email. This will send a verification link to your email address. Simply open the email and click the link to verify your email address.
