Celebrating 175 years of banking in the Philippines, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) continues to deepen its commitment to communities across the Visayas by expanding access to banking services and financial solutions.
With a strong combination of physical locations, community-based banking channels, and digital platforms, BPI is making it easier for individuals, families, and businesses to access the financial services they need.
A Growing Presence Across the Region
BPI’s presence in the Visayas now includes 101 BPI branches, providing customers with access to a wide range of banking services in communities throughout the region.
Its reach is further strengthened by 99 BanKo branches and six LSB branches, giving more Filipinos additional options for accessing financial services.
Beyond traditional banking locations, BPI also works with 1,116 Agency Banking partner stores across the Visayas. These partner outlets help extend banking services into local communities, offering greater convenience to customers who may not always be near a conventional bank branch.
Making Banking More Accessible
Banking today is no longer limited to visiting a branch. As customer needs continue to evolve, BPI has also strengthened its digital platforms, allowing customers to access financial services through convenient digital channels.
The combination of physical branches, partner stores, and digital banking creates more choices for customers. Whether it is managing personal finances, supporting a growing business, or handling everyday banking needs, customers can choose the channel that works best for them.
This approach is especially important in a region as diverse as the Visayas, where communities have different financial requirements and levels of access.
Supporting Individuals, Families, and Businesses
Financial access plays an important role in helping communities grow. For families, convenient banking services can make everyday financial management easier. For entrepreneurs and business owners, access to banking solutions can help support their operations and growth.
Through its expanding network, BPI continues to bring these opportunities closer to the people and communities it serves.
The presence of Agency Banking partner stores is another example of how banking can become more accessible at the community level. By bringing financial services closer to where people live and work, these channels help make banking a more convenient part of everyday life.
Looking Beyond 175 Years
BPI’s 175th anniversary is not only a celebration of its long history. It is also a milestone that highlights how banking continues to evolve.
From a traditional branch network to digital platforms and community-based banking channels, BPI continues to adapt to the changing needs of Filipinos.
Its growing presence across the Visayas reflects this continuing transformation, with more access points and financial solutions available to communities throughout the region.
With 101 BPI branches, 99 BanKo branches, six LSB branches, and 1,116 Agency Banking partner stores, supported by its digital platforms, BPI continues to strengthen its role in bringing banking closer to more Filipinos.
After 175 years, the journey continues, with accessibility, innovation, and the needs of communities remaining an important part of BPI’s path forward.
