As more Filipinos shift to online transactions amid the COVID-19 pandemic, UnionBank continues to record increasing number of digital banking customers.
Just recently, UnionBank posted over 1,000 new accounts opened digitally in one day. Last March, the number of new UnionBank digital account opening via the UnionBank Online app was 2,700 times higher than the same month last year.
This latest development comes as the bank continues to expand its digital services to keep its customers safe at home during the quarantine period.
Most recently, the bank added close to 100,000 new cash dispensing outlets by activating its partnership with LBC, Pera Hub, Cebuana Lhuillier and soon Palawan Pawnshop. Together with InstaPay and PesoNet, this creates one of the biggest fund transfer networks in the country.
UnionBank President and CEO Edwin R. Bautista noted the tremendous growth in digital banking activity and said that banking from home is one way for people to stay safe and productive during the ECQ.
We thank all our customers, particularly those who opened new accounts with us online, for their continued trust and confidence. Rest assured that all UnionBankers will continue to do their utmost to deliver safe and consistent full service digital banking throughout this ECQ.
– Edwin R. Bautista, President and CEO, UnionBank
