UnionBank bolsters digital tools amidst Philippine lockdown

It recorded a 160% surge in online banking sign-ups in March.

Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) is boosting its range of digital services in line with the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) declared by the Philippine government last 16 March.

In March, UnionBank recorded a nearly 160% increase in daily sign-ups to its online and mobile banking portals. The bank also reported a surge in new digitally-opened accounts through its UnionBank Online platform.

The bank was able to keep 94% of its physical branches open outside of those in quarantine areas, and implemented a work from home schedule for close to 90% of its employees.

In addition, the bank has waived fees on InstaPay and PesoNet since the start of the ECQ and has been extended to end-April, and has rolled out its 5G-enabled mobile bank on wheels.

What is Lorem Ipsum?
What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
