Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC), a pillar in the Philippine banking industry and a leading player in digital banking innovations, announces the transition from RCBC Digital app to its newest mobile banking platform, RCBC Pulz. This move is part of RCBC’s ongoing commitment to provide all its clients with a cutting-edge, secure, and highly personalized banking experience. RCBC urges its valued clients to migrate to RCBC Pulz by June 30, 2024, to take full advantage of its enhanced features and services.
Launched in August 2023, RCBC Pulz is available for download on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Designed to meet the needs of today’s digital-savvy users, RCBC Pulz offers a plethora of advanced features such as easy access to deposits, withdrawals, bank transfers, foreign currency exchange for up to 8 major currencies, in-app Unit Investment Trust Funds (UITF) investments, bills payments, mobile load, and comprehensive financial literacy modules.
Furthermore, RCBC Pulz allows Filipinos worldwide to open their first digital banking account using any internationally registered mobile number. This significant feature aims to empower overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families by facilitating seamless money transfers and fostering strong credit profiles eligible for various loans and credit services.
In a strategic collaboration with the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), RCBC is set to bolster financial literacy among OFWs through digital platforms like RCBC Pulz. This partnership underlines RCBC’s commitment to extending its digital banking services to Filipinos abroad, ensuring a reliable and accessible banking experience wherever they may be.
Transitioning to RCBC Pulz is a seamless process for existing RCBC Digital users, who can use their current account and login credentials. RCBC ensures the authentication of these details within one business day, advising users to retain their RCBC Digital account until the authentication process is completed.
Once verified, RCBC users can still use their previous account and password to access their enrolled billers in RCBC Pulz, enabling them to continue the convenience of paying bills anytime and anywhere. They can also access the multiple RCBC accounts available in their previous RCBC Digital account. Credit card holders can add their credit card accounts for frictionless management. Loan application services and time deposit account management are also available on the platform.
Lito Villanueva, RCBC Executive Vice President and Chief Innovations and Inclusion Officer stresses the importance of adopting RCBC Pulz for a better banking experience and enhanced security. “In an era where cyber security is paramount, RCBC Pulz stands out as a digital banking solution with advanced security features designed to protect our clients,” said Villanueva.
RCBC Pulz became the ‘No. 1 Most Downloaded Application’ in the Finance Apps section of the Apple App Store eight months after its launch, with over one million downloads shortly after its debut. The Bank Marketing Association of the Philippines also honored it with the ‘Best Program in Digital Marketing’ award at the 5th Bank Marketing Awards. These achievements underscore RCBC’s leadership in the digital banking sector and its commitment to providing exceptional service to its clients in the Philippines and worldwide.
