BDO strengthens digital platforms

BDO Unibank Inc., the country’s largest lender led by the Sy Group, further strengthened its digital banking platforms in line with the government’s efforts to promote cashless transactions and advance financial inclusion in the country.

BDO consumer banking group digital banking head Roy Villareal said Tuesday the country was gearing up to become a “cashless society.”

“To make cashless payments an active tool to promote financial inclusion, it needs to be easy to use and accessible for everyone. With our online banking and cashless payment platforms, BDO provides alternatives for those who wish to do their financial transactions digitally,” Villareal said in a statement.

BDO earlier launched its BDO Online and BDO Pay mobile apps not only to address the sudden demand for contactless financial transactions during the pandemic, but also to make bank services more accessible and convenient in the new normal. BDO Online and BDO Pay allow BDO clients to pay their bills, transfer money and monitor their bank account through their computers or mobile phones.
