We had a discussing regarding exchange rates 1-2 pages back.
For BPI:
If you are a preferred customer you get really good rates (you will have a hard time finding something better).
If you convert more than PHP 500k (without being a preferred customer), go to the branch and make the transfer between your PHP and USD account and don't give up before they have called the HQ to get the same rate as preferred customers get.
Avoid wire transfers with conversion and ATM withdrawals with conversion, these generally gives you a ****ty rate.
I have use 6 different banks in 5 different countries atm and imo BPI is one of the better. The only downside is the online banking which is a bit limited.
