#Mobile banking

Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is set to introduce international money transfers through its mobile banking app, following a partnership with Visa aimed at making cross-border transactions faster and more affordable for Filipinos. The service is expected to become available to more than four million active BPI mobile app users. Joel de Vera, BPI's head of strategy, products and support for institutional banking, said demand for secure, real-time, and affordable international payments continues to grow as more Filipinos engage in global activities. Beyond digital banking, BPI is also expanding its physical reach through agency banking partnerships. BPI said its agency banking network now covers more than 7,000 partner stores nationwide as it continues efforts to improve access to financial services in underserved communities. The move positions Metrobank among local banks offering more affordable digital transfer options, as competition continues to intensify in the Philippine digital banking space. DiskarTech is the Philippines' first all-in-one "Taglish" inclusion app powered by Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC). As per RCBC, the app will assist as a reliable and convenient platform with multiple features, including sachet banking products, digital banking services, and quick healthcare solutions.
