Robinsons Bank (RBank), owned by JG Summit Holdings, Inc., one of the Philippines’ largest and most diversified conglomerates, announced that it has chosen BPC as its solution partner to co-innovate, to drive financial inclusion and digital adoption across the nation. Using BPC’s SmartVista Platform, RBank will be able to bring new products to customers in a highly efficient and cost-effective manner.

Dadufalza, Head of Cards at Robinsons Bank, said, “We are operating in a highly competitive market and need to bring new products to customers quickly and effectively. With a dynamic and constantly changing innovation roadmap, we are thrilled to be working with an agile technology partner that supports our enthusiasm for growth and new product development. Together with BPC, we are excited to elevate our customers’ banking experiences in a seamless and modern way.”

Operating under a “Look Forward “approach to servicing and growing its customer base, the bank decided to replace its legacy systems with SmartVista by BPC, an innovative and technologically advanced payment solution.
