Public trust in digital banking continued to strengthen in 2025 as Land Bank of the Philippines recorded a 27-percent rise in the usage of its digital platforms.
The bank said it processed 800.26 million digital transactions worth P4.41 trillion, up 30 percent from 2024.
“Inclusive and sustainable banking is anchored on public trust. When systems are accessible, inclusion becomes scalable and national development accelerates. At LandBank, we remain steadfast in bringing financial access closer to Filipinos — from countryside to countrywide,” said LandBank president and chief executive Lynette Ortiz.
The bank’s mobile banking app remains the cornerstone of its retail digital adoption, adding nearly 1 million new users over the past two years to reach a 2.40 million-strong user base by the end of 2025.
This surge translated to 714.39 million transactions worth P618.82 billion, posting year-on-year increases of 26 percent in volume and 37 percent in value.
Digital adoption also accelerated among corporate and government clients. The corporate internet banking platform, weAccess, processed 51.13 million transactions amounting to P1.84 trillion, up 66 percent in volume and 35 percent in value year-on-year.
Government disbursements through the Electronic Modified Disbursement System facility facilitated P1.55 trillion across 5.27 million disbursements, reflecting 28 percent growth in both volume and value.
The bank’s web-based payment channel, Link.BizPortal, recorded 8.75 million transactions worth P16.13 billion, with increases of 22 percent in volume and 33 percent in value.
Complementing this, the Cash Lite Campus initiative has benefited more than 12,500 students and personnel by embedding digital payment ecosystems within universities.
“As a student, LandBank’s Cash-Lite helps me track my personal and school related expenses. Especially that I am living alone, it helps me balance my money and manage it properly,” said State University of Northern Negros student Joy Ann Makiling.
Through the LANDBANKasama Partners agent banking network, 3.10 million transactions worth P16.00 billion were facilitated in geographically isolated areas.
The bulk credit system processed P74.96 billion while the remittance system facilitated P80.34 billion, an 18 percent increase. Digital tax payments through the e-Tax Payment System enabled P177.25 billion in collections, reflecting 13 percent growth.
These gains support the national agenda for digital transformation, driving the country toward a more inclusive and digitally enabled economy for all Filipinos.
