City Savings Bank (CitySavings), the thrift bank subsidiary of Aboitiz-led Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank), recently debuted its groundbreaking Bank-on-Wheels mobile kiosk as part of its campaign for greater financial inclusion among Filipinos.

The BOW, which services underserved regions in the Visayas and Mindanao and designated areas in Metro Manila in collaboration with UnionBank, features services such as balance inquiry and cash withdrawal, making these services more accessible to customers.

The BOW also champions the bank’s sustainability endeavors by utilizing batteries to power the automatic teller machines, contributing to eco-friendly operations and minimizing carbon emissions.

CitySavings CEO Lorenzo Ocampo emphasized how this pursuit contributes to elevating communities through financial inclusion and sustainability.

“Through Bank-on-Wheels, we bring convenient banking closer to our customers in the more remote areas. Extending services to regions where branch accessibility might be a challenge ensures easier access for our customers for their daily banking needs. This initiative is a glimpse of what’s to come as we strive to enhance accessibility and improve our services for our fellow Filipinos,” he said.

Added CitySavings president Manuel Santiago Jr: “We take pride in the fact that this initiative prioritizes environmental responsibility without compromising growth and expansion. Our goal is to infuse sustainability into our efforts, paving the way for inclusive and sustainable prosperity across the country.”
