Mariana Zobel de Ayala Emphasizes Ayala Group’s Commitment to Advancing Financial Inclusion During BPI Partner Store Visit in Cebu

Mariana Zobel de Ayala, a key leader at Ayala Group and former head of BPI Consumer Bank Marketing and Digital Platforms, recently visited a BPI partner store, Prince Stores Gun-ob in Lapu-Lapu City. This visit serves as a powerful symbol of Ayala Group’s commitment to expanding financial access through innovative partnerships and accessible banking solutions.

Bridging the Gap: Empowering Communities Through Retail Collaboration

The collaboration between Ayala Corporation and BPI tackles a critical challenge: limited access to financial services in underserved communities. By leveraging the trusted network of Prince Stores, this strategic partnership allows residents to seamlessly access essential banking services like account openings, cash deposits, and withdrawals directly at their local store.

Mariana Zobel de Ayala: “Exceptional Banking for All Filipinos”

“Ayala Group remains dedicated to fostering inclusivity across all our endeavors,” stated Zobel de Ayala. “BPI embodies this mission by establishing innovative partnerships like this one with Prince Stores. We aim to ensure that exceptional banking services reach all Filipinos, regardless of their location.”

Convenience at Your Doorstep: BPI Agency Banking at Prince Stores

Through its Agency Banking program, BPI empowers Prince Stores to act as cash agents. This translates to significant convenience for customers. They can now deposit and withdraw cash as well as apply for BPI products. In addition, they can now also conduct other essential transactions right within their local Prince Stores. This integration of banking services into everyday shopping simplifies financial management. This is a huge help for residents in underserved areas who may lack access to traditional bank branches.

Engaging Customers with Exciting Rewards

Further underlining their commitment to bringing accessible banking closer to communities, Mariana Zobel de Ayala personally experienced the ease-of-use of BPI’s latest deposit and withdrawal services at Prince Stores. Additionally, to incentivize customer participation, BPI and Prince Stores launched the ongoing “Naay BPI Diri” (There’s BPI Here) raffle promo. By utilizing BPI services at Prince Stores, customers have a chance to win exciting prizes. They can win Yamaha NMAX motorcycles and in-store shopping sprees.

Building a Financially Inclusive Future

Ayala Group and BPI’s dedication to forging impactful partnerships and creating innovative solutions paves the way for a more financially inclusive future in the Philippines. By making banking services accessible and convenient for every Filipino, this initiative empowers individuals and communities to participate more actively in the formal economy.
