Jose Yap and Asec Mary Rose Magsaysay of the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“We believe that partnerships with the government play a crucial role in achieving BSP’s goal of a cash-lite society by 2025. Since the time we started, we have on-boarded over 300 national and local government agencies, as well as Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations. But we are barely scratching the surface; this is just about 10% of the whole (government) pie, and we aim to achieve more in the coming years. We will continue to push for a more inclusive and digital economy so that every Filipino can have a better quality of life and experience a more elevated government service," said AVP and head of public sector and partnerships Cathlyn Pavia. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">For more information, visit www.gcash.com.</p>Mᴇɢᴀᴘʜᴏɴᴇ Pʜɪʟɪᴘᴘɪɴᴇshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02393309272738832632noreply@blogger.com0Philippines12.879721 121.774017-15.430512836178846 86.617767 41.189954836178842 156.93026700000001tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948093754909511374.post-29265830266953029472023-06-07T17:11:00.002+08:002023-06-07T17:11:18.146+08:00SM Supermalls Honors Super Pinoys this June<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg57BLumU_0EepA4kaFJCEHJd4NlvSvlI_5Zd3jqtA799N7Htkpq2avNr3R8Ny1bKOL_o-9vd0b3cOaHSnrkXSq9dhry3BY0h0vha75nlbIkdLPH4Rk1FZEc-p3ndFoGlKV_7nUPX4YHyRI9ZrRaFafEvdh-2oNHq6CPcLwF7w0NPbvEwEN5wUXLmLJkA/s2060/SM%20SUPER%20PINOYS%20MAIN%20KV.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2060" data-original-width="1612" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg57BLumU_0EepA4kaFJCEHJd4NlvSvlI_5Zd3jqtA799N7Htkpq2avNr3R8Ny1bKOL_o-9vd0b3cOaHSnrkXSq9dhry3BY0h0vha75nlbIkdLPH4Rk1FZEc-p3ndFoGlKV_7nUPX4YHyRI9ZrRaFafEvdh-2oNHq6CPcLwF7w0NPbvEwEN5wUXLmLJkA/w501-h640/SM%20SUPER%20PINOYS%20MAIN%20KV.png" width="501" /></a></div><span style="text-align: justify;"><p>One of the most

The event was led by UnionBank's Fintech Business Group Head Erika Dizon as its main speaker.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In her presentation, Dizon explained that while open banking and open finance may differ slightly from each other—the former promotes data sharing on banking services, while the latter promotes data and capability sharing across the financial sector—the goal is the same, which is the creation of an open ecosystem.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">An open ecosystem, she said, provides numerous benefits, including seamless data access and sharing, more opportunities for cooperation and collaboration, and most importantly, unprecedented customer- centricity. All of these point to the potential of the movement to completely change the way people see banking and finance.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk2w0M1xiIRwEncInh8-iRCOeNG81GiwKnhFVH9alchZMVQI1Xza69l7B41jjk8rsUTDWR5etNd3Q7RQDNZiaBXArg4Oqq5NUo4KkZ_d9PRBU7Mp9WI5cpcuPHorQsWdkoBScH1U-UEpsTwcPtJMgDYfWwIRs96CzKpzHhh70Tz5El4uqXEkdGsgpuKw/s1076/14th%20ETT%20pic2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="607" data-original-width="1076" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk2w0M1xiIRwEncInh8-iRCOeNG81GiwKnhFVH9alchZMVQI1Xza69l7B41jjk8rsUTDWR5etNd3Q7RQDNZiaBXArg4Oqq5NUo4KkZ_d9PRBU7Mp9WI5cpcuPHorQsWdkoBScH1U-UEpsTwcPtJMgDYfWwIRs96CzKpzHhh70Tz5El4uqXEkdGsgpuKw/w640-h362/14th%20ETT%20pic2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Dizon listed down a few examples of how the open finance movement can positively impact different sectors of society. For service providers, it can inspire innovation and create new revenue streams. For businesses, it can promote increased transparency and operational efficiency. For customers, it can help enable better personalization, and in turn more meaningful experiences.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dizon also named several pillars supporting open banking, namely, (1) regulatory push for frameworks built on principles of consent, interoperability, and collaboration; (2) heightened expectations coming from the digital and modern social experiences that are redefining banking and finance; (3) competition especially with the emergence of non-traditional players; and (4) infrastructure, which is increasingly becoming more reliant on application programming interfaces.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"All of these factors are coming in to play and have triggered the open banking and open finance movement and the beginning of the unbundling of the traditional banking models," Dizon said.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">After her presentation, Dizon participated in a fireside chat with the event’s moderator, veteran journalist Rico Hizon. One of the questions that she answered was on data privacy, which is currently one of the biggest concerns related to open banking and open finance. She reiterated that, at the core of open banking, there should be customer consent, where end users can have the choice to share their data or not, and limit how much of their data is used.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another topic discussed during the chat was balancing competition with collaboration, especially since open ecosystems require the latter for them to truly serve their purpose. She said that for UnionBank, rather than competing, the focus is more on “coopetition,” adding that there is a place for different industry players to benefit from a win-win-win model.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh91r3_9cQD269HqQ0VTKY39auMp8R-DZrE_OKiK7iQt-g4O_vAJSJbzB57u4e_dCf7M5H2ncGReNNKcbsfrrIHUTqn6YaENv7xDpmyBhWiWyEkFgKPorQpFOV96ywGcXRxIhooCH0pFv7PrBsW3X3xEJdpKXZnQZnc3XzOjbgEHpIAdmktidA_iYy6FQ/s1135/14th%20ETT%20pic3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="340" data-original-width="1135" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh91r3_9cQD269HqQ0VTKY39auMp8R-DZrE_OKiK7iQt-g4O_vAJSJbzB57u4e_dCf7M5H2ncGReNNKcbsfrrIHUTqn6YaENv7xDpmyBhWiWyEkFgKPorQpFOV96ywGcXRxIhooCH0pFv7PrBsW3X3xEJdpKXZnQZnc3XzOjbgEHpIAdmktidA_iYy6FQ/w640-h192/14th%20ETT%20pic3.png" width="640" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">“We understand that some financial institutions, some fintechs, some third parties have specific products and services that we don’t, and we believe that for us to be able to better serve our customers, we should be able to integrate those specific products and services into our own,” Dizon said.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Open banking and open finance are only as good as the number of players that cooperate within that<br />ecosystem, and that’s, I think, one of the biggest things that we have to consider.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;">On the topic of how open banking and open finance can create more value for UnionBank, she said that these allow the Bank to identify new potential business models, and with these, generate more income streams and revenue models.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“More importantly, it adds value to our customers and how they do their financial transactions, and that is what’s really important to us,” Dizon said. “Of course, as a bank, there is a bottom line that we need to think of, but we believe that there is a space for both to co-exist, for the customers to be served appropriately and for the Bank to be able to have new business models.”</p></div>Mᴇɢᴀᴘʜᴏɴᴇ Pʜɪʟɪᴘᴘɪɴᴇshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02393309272738832632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948093754909511374.post-84854922638847589162022-06-28T15:25:00.000+08:002022-06-28T15:25:23.179+08:00GCash Enables Young Professionals, MSMEs to Unlock Financial Goals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSsSiI5ZBCzac8rzVnBjbBQPvbrHaer2n0At8XxjtQNMOXVjWwGkFf7-8C2jj3KPGrDVSZR1XhZAMHSQ0HJa7x3PTD6ersMTElU5o0V056JSzi7b0YhPEohejIdnSWmfNf_Nm0BxvQ08Th31OnH1TL0l3ohKd9M3EzA-9jzBXPsSVW8KnPi5wmKCdpHA/s960/GCah_2019.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="319" data-original-width="960" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSsSiI5ZBCzac8rzVnBjbBQPvbrHaer2n0At8XxjtQNMOXVjWwGkFf7-8C2jj3KPGrDVSZR1XhZAMHSQ0HJa7x3PTD6ersMTElU5o0V056JSzi7b0YhPEohejIdnSWmfNf_Nm0BxvQ08Th31OnH1TL0l3ohKd9M3EzA-9jzBXPsSVW8KnPi5wmKCdpHA/w640-h212/GCah_2019.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><p style="text-align: justify;">GCash, the Philippines’ number one financial super app, is enabling young professionals and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to unlock their financial goals through the many accessible digital financial services it offers like savings, loans, insurance, and even investments.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">GCash recently shared that young professionals are becoming more independent, budget conscious, and open to trying simple ways to earn more while owners of MSMEs struggle to find accessible financing to expand their business and reach more customers.<br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">That’s why GCash has been ramping up its line-up of financial services to help individuals achieve financial freedom while giving micro to small entrepreneurs the lifeline they need to keep their business afloat or the additional funds to support their expansion.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">GCash has a slew of services which help users manage their wealth and gain financial security.

After a long period of disruption due to the pandemic, the services connecting Thailand and Singapore will play a critical role in assisting the two nations’ economic recovery while also serving the growing travel demand of individuals in the region,” says Mr Woranate Laprabang, Chief Executive Officer of Thai Vietjet. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">For a start, the new international service from Singapore to Bangkok (Suvranabhumi) will operate flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and direct flights from Singapore to Phuket will run every Thursday and Sunday. Flight schedules are given in Appendix A.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, Thai Vietjet successfully initiated its maiden flight from Bangkok to Phnom Penh and resumed its international flight service between Bangkok and Da Nang. It has also maintained a steady service and increased its flight frequency between Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh City.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These recent developments come just in time as travel restrictions for international travellers to Thailand are lifted. From 1 April 2022, negative RT-PCR results before departure and RT-PCR tests on day 5 in Thailand will no longer be required. Instead, travellers entering Thailand will only be required to purchase COVID-19 insurance with a coverage of USD 20,000 (previously USD 50,000). </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Along with its flight network expansion, the airline is introducing its official loyalty programme, SkyFUN, with a virtual “FUN Coin”, which aims to enhance passengers’ experience in three different member tiers: Silver, Gold and Platinum. This new loyalty programme will offer a whole new experience to the passengers with added benefits from the airline and its travel partners throughout the region. Members will enjoy different privileges according to their membership tiers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thai Vietjet has a total of 16 aircraft in its fleet, including 10 Airbus A320-200s and 6 Airbus A321-200s and plans to add more by the end of the year. The airline began operations with only 3 aircraft in 2016. With the 433% increase in fleet size just 6 years, Thai Vietjet was awarded “The Fastest-Growing Low-Cost Carrier of the Year” award by the Global Business Outlook in 2020.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With an average age of 5 years. Thai Vietjet’s fleet has the world’s youngest and most modern commercial fleet, with an On-Time Performance Rate (OTP) of 97.29%, technical reliability of 99.73%. The airline has served 11 million total accumulated passengers to date.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thai Vietjet is continuously expanding its flight network, both domestic and international, while increasing its young and modern fleet. The airline has also recently been awarded the “Most Passenger-Friendly Cabin Crew” in 2021 by the International Finance Magazine, emphasising its position as the “airline of hospitality”, and reinforcing its core value, “Friendly and Fun” together with “Safety”, “Punctuality” and “Affordable Price”. </p><p style="text-align: center;">+++</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Website: <a href="https://www.vietjetair.com" target="_blank">www.vietjetair.com</a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Facebook Page: <a href="https//www.facebook.com/VietJetThailand" target="_blank">www.facebook.com/VietJetThailand</a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/vietjetskyfun" target="_blank">www.instagram.com/vietjetskyfun</a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/thaivietjet" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/company/thaivietjet</a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Company Name: <b>Thai Vietjet</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Address: 999 Moo 1 Concourse A and G Departure Terminal Suvarnabhumi Airport Unit A1-062 and Unit G1-048, 1st floor, Nongprue, Bang phli, Samutprakarn, 10540, Thailand</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Company Tel: +66 2089 1909</p><div><br /></div>Mᴇɢᴀᴘʜᴏɴᴇ Pʜɪʟɪᴘᴘɪɴᴇshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02393309272738832632noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948093754909511374.post-58739752768209368692022-04-07T11:39:00.036+08:002022-06-09T12:58:37.872+08:00Eggs-traordinary Easter Treats at SM<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGgyjXiRi4QixdrNn8N0Kn_kB0KLg4n8WVDlQPNCrThPE-lIa4Ft30aAkAo4aSZCBhPEQDg1PceV0AdiKp68vdrg6iBi79tVZCDTanF1JKE5PLZTONKsrZ26DjoW8DoXKqdlQEwRjvTGVkifHU5lxI5c9x5Ppro_yEkCcUhLnyeYn63XuG7Sttf0VQuA/s1007/PHOTO%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1007" data-original-width="653" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGgyjXiRi4QixdrNn8N0Kn_kB0KLg4n8WVDlQPNCrThPE-lIa4Ft30aAkAo4aSZCBhPEQDg1PceV0AdiKp68vdrg6iBi79tVZCDTanF1JKE5PLZTONKsrZ26DjoW8DoXKqdlQEwRjvTGVkifHU5lxI5c9x5Ppro_yEkCcUhLnyeYn63XuG7Sttf0VQuA/w416-h640/PHOTO%201.jpg" width="416" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Have a delightful and cool Easter with this fashionable AXCS Plush Bunny wired and</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">adjustable Headphones.

"The pandemic created this shift to digital, which we now refer to as the “new digital normal”. We changed the way we live, the way we travel, the way we interact with one another, and basically we've changed forever in terms of how we transact in the financial sector." </p><p>"But even before the pandemic, UnionBank already had this forward-looking view that digital is the way for us to move forward, and when the pandemic hit, not only did we survive, but I'm happy to say that the Bank actually thrived," according to Aguda.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj2BL9LJF2UTjkbhEPRtUApklCjodi51IejUoYw-4x9Y34gz-unRAaAyZt70TbauJmbBuNYcqzKEcbkB4YK4BJl_366tFcouX7Tx18JHkEH_J2YpfSy8uayZon1_VEdvU4MMgo2P9IPt-GPvQ9MsDuXv7qi7iC7_VOY_5uZEkObJNurBcT4TwkNF7WVTg=s624" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="624" height="328" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj2BL9LJF2UTjkbhEPRtUApklCjodi51IejUoYw-4x9Y34gz-unRAaAyZt70TbauJmbBuNYcqzKEcbkB4YK4BJl_366tFcouX7Tx18JHkEH_J2YpfSy8uayZon1_VEdvU4MMgo2P9IPt-GPvQ9MsDuXv7qi7iC7_VOY_5uZEkObJNurBcT4TwkNF7WVTg=w640-h328" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>He then highlighted the top 10 most notable achievements of UnionBank in 2021. These include being the only publicly listed Philippine bank to be granted a license to operate a digital-native bank; the successful groundbreaking of the UnionBank Innovation Campus, the country's first-ever learning institution focused on digital innovation; and having 21 patents for its innovative offers already approved and 18 more on the way. </p><p>Other notable achievements include the integration of Instapay 2.0 into its digital banking platform; the successful launch of the UnionBank SME Banking App; the launch of wealth management educational campaigns including the NextGen Academy; significant user growths for UBX’s platforms SeekCap, Bux, and Sentro; and the significant increase in its customer base to almost 10 million to date, from just nearly 7 million as of end-2020.</p><p>Meanwhile, de Vera provided a quick introduction to UnionDigital. UnionDigital is one of only six financial institutions in the Philippines that have officially been granted digital banking licenses by the Bangko Central ng Pilipinas to date. As UnionBank's digital banking arm, UnionDigital will focus on delivering banking and financial services to underserved sectors which the parent bank is not able to optimally cater to. </p><p>"While UnionDigital aims to empower the country's digital economy, we also aim to elevate it by bringing trust and governance into the space. We embrace innovation like a fintech, but offer all the powers, experience, and track record of a fully regulated bank,” de Vera said. </p><p>“At the heart of our work will always be the desire to provide our customers with what they want and what they need, while ensuring that they have what they need in terms of security, compliance with regulation, and proper governance," de Vera added.</p><p>In terms of what customers can expect from the Bank and its subsidiaries in 2022, some of the things that Aguda and de Vera gave a sneak preview of were the Bank's possible foray into non-fungible tokens (NFTs), several new solutions aimed at helping workers in the thriving gig economy through EON, and participating in the growing interest and opportunities relating to the metaverse, just to name a few. </p><p>UnionBank Chief Marketing Officer Albert Cuadrante capped off the event with a promise that the Bank will continue to do even better in 2022 in terms of delivering great customer experience across channels and platforms. He also reiterated that "UnionBank’s goal is not just to help people survive, but to actually enable them to thrive in this new environment through the latest financial technologies; staying true to our commitment to “Tech-up Pilipinas!”</p><p>"I hope you are as eager as I am to welcome 2022. What I can promise you is that what you heard today is just the tip of the iceberg.
