Existing and future Sun Life mutual fund investors will have easy way to add more funds to their accounts. Now, they can automatically set their BDO savings/current and BPI savings/current accounts to transfer money (minimum 1000 pesos) to their existing Sun Life mutual fund regularly (choose from every month, every quarter or every 5th and 20th of the month).Once they set this up correctly, they don’t need to do anything but just ensure that there is adequate amount in their savings account for the money transfer to be successful. Right now, Sun Life has partnership with BDO and BPI for this auto-invest program but the company is working to add more partner banks in the future. I’ll update this post regularly to inform you what banks are added in the program.
