Accounts & headline costs
Sections ↑DragonFi Securities provides Philippine investment accounts. Its funds and PERA services have their own product terms, while DragonFi Save is a deposit owed by CIMB Bank Philippines. Moving money through the same app does not merge these legal accounts.[4][10][9][15]
