The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and Globe have partnered to provide free data access to the BPI app for Globe and TM subscribers, making digital banking more accessible to Filipinos.
Effective November 5, 2026, eligible BPI clients can use the app without consuming mobile data. They can check account balances, transfer funds, scan QR codes, pay bills, and complete other banking transactions without data charges.
As of the end of September 2026, more than 10 million clients were enrolled in the BPI app, making it one of the country’s most widely used digital banking platforms. The partnership aims to reduce connectivity barriers and help more Filipinos manage their finances anytime, anywhere.
“With around 67 million subscribers in Globe’s network, this partnership allows customers to access the BPI app without using their mobile data, opening new channels for financial inclusion through our digital platforms,” said TG Limcaoco, BPI president and CEO.
Globe president and CEO Carl Cruz said the partnership would provide subscribers with greater convenience and easier access to digital financial services through the company’s nationwide coverage and roaming partnerships.
Free data access will also be extended in the coming months to other BPI digital platforms, including VYBE, BizLink, BizKo, and the BanKo Mobile App.
The collaboration also includes exclusive benefits for eligible customers. BPI Gold and BPI Preferred clients can access Globe Platinum lounges by presenting their privilege cards, which provide a comfortable space, priority assistance, and personalized service.
Clients can access their virtual privilege cards through the BPI app by tapping “More,” selecting “Card Management,” and choosing “Privilege Card.”
Meanwhile, Globe Platinum subscribers can enjoy BPI Preferred Lanes and exclusive foreign exchange rates by presenting their Globe Platinum signal on their devices to the branch concierge.
“This partnership with Globe reinforces our commitment to putting customers at the heart of everything we do. By combining connectivity, convenience, and exclusive benefits, we are creating more meaningful experiences and making it easier for customers to access the financial solutions they need, wherever they are,” said Maria Cristina “Ginbee” Go, BPI head of consumer banking.
Through the partnership, BPI and Globe aim to expand access to digital financial services and provide more Filipinos with convenient ways to manage their finances.
