BPI is the oldest bank in the Philippines still in operation and is the country’s third
largest bank in terms of assets. Also, it is the country’s largest bank in terms of
market capitalization, and is considered as the Philippine’s most profitable bank. It
concentrates its savings and loans operation in two subsidiary banks: the BPI Direct

28
Savings Bank and BPI Family Savings Bank. The former is oriented in the Overseas
Filipino Community, while the latter is more concerned with local clients.

Since BPI Direct Savings Banks has a larger customer base, the group decided to
look into its operations.

THE BPI DIRECT SAVINGS BANK


Industry: Banking; Savings and Loans

BPI Direct Savings Bank or BPI Direct is a wholly-owned subsidiary bank of the Bank
of the Philippine Islands (BPI). It is the first bank to be operating in “paperless
envionment” for it is the only bank in the Philippines to be “highly dependent on
telephone and online banking”, making it “one of the largest banks in the
Philippines in those field”. This served as an expression of BPI’s commitment to high
standard banking by the use of technology and creative management to provide
excellent convenience to its customers.

considered as a step forward by innovating banking experience as we know it. The

use of online banking empowered its customers to manage their finances wherever
they may be, and to take control of their money by prividing 24/7 banking. It broke
the convention of observing office hours in banking which is quite a hastle
especially for business people who always has a jampacked schedule. As its slogan
says: “You bank away from home.”
