Can you direct deposit retirementsocial security checks to a Philippine bank?

Yes. My experience is with direct deposit US Social Security monthly retirement into Philippine National Bank Tabunok branch only. My branch manager says the funds are automatically credited to my account, and that there is no human intervention. That as soon as SS sends, it is automatically electronically credited to my account. Great theory, but my funds are not credited and available until 3-7 days after they are supposed to be. Upon inquiry, other banks say upfront that there is a 3-5 day delay for audit. I just got a required immigration status card so I will be changing banks because I don't trust the current branch manager. I have two friends who also have the identical experience with this PNB branch. Therefore, NOT RECOMMENDED!
