With its heritage of innovation, Bank of the Philippine Islands hosts an array of credit cards for a wide spectrum of clients

In a world where one is hardpressed to keep track of monthly bills and unplanned expenditure, a credit card can become a useful asset.

The sleek piece of plastic doesn’t have to be associated with the pitfalls of debt. Many banks have shown the practical and exclusive benefits of using a credit card, which through smart spending offers endless perks for cardholders.

For years, banks have been linking businesses to individual customers through innovations such as the credit card, facilitating transactions and providing solutions to help manage customers’ finances. Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), the first bank in the country and in Southeast Asia, is a pioneer of this tradition of service.

Some cardholders may also avail a selection of online deals, while others may enjoy the option of paying affordable monthly instalments for bigger scaled purchases.

PREMIERE BANKING

As a company that puts a high value on innovation, BPI has once again created a product that addresses the evolving needs of its consumers. With the rise in luxury expenditure for ultra-high-networth individuals, the bank launched the BPI Visa Signature Card.

The card exceeds other premium cards in the market with the lowest conversion rate of one premium point for every 20-pesos in spending. This provides clients with more comprehensive rewards, thus elevating their experiences of their preferred lifestyles.

We want to be there for them from the moment they book a trip until the end.”
