US Embassy in the Philippines Partners with RCBC
The US Embassy in the Philippines changed its banking partner to Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) from Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) on Monday, June 1, 2020. US visa applicants can now visit any RCBC branch to pay the non-refundable, non-transferable Machine Readable Visa (MRV) application fee. Click this link to find an RCBC branch near you.
How to Pay the US Visa Fee via RCBC
Here are the steps to pay for the US visa application fee using cash:
1. Download and print the US visa application deposit slip
If you are required to make a payment of $160, click this link to generate a deposit slip. It should show the peso equivalent that youβre supposed to pay, as well as the expiration date.
(Note that fees may differ depending on the visa category youβre applying for, and that a separate visa fee deposit slip is required for each applicant.)
2. Visit an RCBC branch
When youβre ready to make your payment, proceed to the RCBC Business Center TouchQ Machine.
How to Use the RCBC Business Center TouchQ Machine
- Click Bills Payment > Others > US Visa Fee
- Choose Mode of Payment
- Key in the reference number, amount, and your contact number.
- Select Next and then confirm transaction details.
- Click No to end the transaction.
- Get your queue number and present the slip to the teller.
- Hand in the Bank Copy of the receipt.
- Pay the amount indicated on your US visa fee deposit slip.
- Before leaving the bank, make sure that all the information is correct.
If the TouchQ Machine is not available in your preferred RCBC branch, you may just go to the bank teller directly.
3. Keep the receipt
When your transaction is complete, youβll be issued a receipt. You will need this to schedule your interview at the US Embassy. Do not lose this. (Note that the fee is non-refundable and non-transferable to another applicant.)

If your done paid, how many documents they will give it to you? Or proof that your certified paid?
how did you guys paid the MRV in RCBC? We have 3 applications and 3 deposit slips. Teller says we must indicate each slip for each application. How can we do that since we can only get a deposit slips were automatically generated without asking for the application number?
