The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has announced its latest game-changing offering: the “Salary On-Demand” service.

Soon, employees across the nation will have the power to borrow from their upcoming paychecks to bridge the gap until payday arrives, all thanks to this ingenious initiative.

“BPI is gearing up to launch a new financial product called Salary On-Demand,” the bank enthusiastically declared on its Facebook page, heralding a financial revolution.

BPI, known for its innovative approach, is joining forces with companies that utilize its payroll service to grant their workforce a salary advance that can be seamlessly deducted from their impending earnings.

“This service comes via another app and will have no interest fees, aside from a one-time fee of P175 that will be charged to users,” the bank explained, reassuring prospective users that financial freedom would not be marred by hidden costs.

Employers will play a pivotal role in this financial evolution by nominating eligible employees for this game-changing product.

According to John-C Syquia, BPI’s Head of Institutional Banking, “Employers will tell BPI who among their employees will be eligible for this product.” Syquia went on to elaborate that the service will be accessible through a dedicated app, distinct from the primary BPI app.

While this financial innovation is set to relieve the financial stress of countless employees, it’s crucial to note that there will be no interest applied to the salary advance. The only fee involved is a modest one-time charge of P175 to users, making it an accessible solution for many.

BPI’s visionary approach to finance stems from its aspiration to foster a comprehensive “ecosystem” of services. The bank aims to build enduring relationships with its clients, and the “Salary On-Demand” service is a cornerstone of this strategy.

“We want to build our ecosystem, and the way to do that is to provide sticky products. And we believe that if we add this enhancement to our payroll employers, we will have sticky relationships with our existing clients and we will be able to build that network too,” asserted BPI’s spokesperson.

One particularly remarkable aspect of the “Salary On-Demand” service is the bank’s commitment to alleviating the burden of debt from employees. BPI will allow workers to advance up to 30 percent of their earned salary, and in a move that showcases their unwavering support, the bank will assume the risk of collection if an employee faces difficulties in repaying the advance.

This visionary initiative comes at a time when BPI’s payroll system already serves approximately 2 million people, promising to impact a significant portion of the Philippines’ workforce positively.
