A Century of Trust in an All New App

The power of one of the country’s leading banks is now at your fingertips as Chinabank, one of the banks under the banking portfolio of the SM Group launches the latest, vastly improved, and best iteration of the My CBC app. Now, Chinabank customers can harness the power of financial services, from the country’s 4th largest private universal bank, without having to make frequent visits to their branches, or to rely heavily on third party apps. Receive money, save it, manage it, transfer it, pay bills, and even open accounts; all with one bank, using one app.

Despite the rapid proliferation of e-wallets, e-commerce enabled businesses, fintech solutions, and microfinance products that have sprouted up since the COVID-19 pandemic, for businessmen who walk tall and think big, nothing can replace the resources, the reputation, and the decades of experience that traditional financial institutions bring to the table

Nonetheless, convenience and ease of use have compelled nearly everyone to turn to solutions such as e-Wallets, e-commerce services, curb side delivery services, and even things like tele medicine. In the era of epic traffic and hyper connectivity, digital offers a level of convenience that has become not just something nice to have, but an absolute necessity.

Dr. Jay Sabido, Chinabank’s Chief Innovation and Transformation Officer, talks about the newest My CBC App and its features

“The app and the constant development we put into it, are affirmations of our commitment to always improve our services to address the ever evolving needs of our customers, in the decades to come,” said Chinabank’s Chief Innovation and Transformation Officer, Dr. Jay Sabido, at the event to mark the My CBC app’s latest iteration.

By offering robust services such as account management, bank transfer, online bills payment online, long respected institutions such as Chinabank now offer the best of both worlds: the reliability of a trusted bank and the convenience of modern technology. With My CBC app, Chinabank customers can now securely pay bills and transfer money online– even to accounts at other banks– without having to take the extra step of transferring money to  third-party e-wallets.

It also enhances traditional banking by offering more than typical e-wallet functionality. Its features such as remote check deposit allow users to securely receive large sums of money without the hassle of visiting a branch or waiting in long queues. Additionally, the app enables existing account holders to open new accounts directly, making banking more seamless and convenient than ever before.

The My CBC app also acts like a dashboard for all Chinabank accounts and credit cards. No need to rifle through bills or scan email to manage your finances, with a few finger swipes, the My CBC app lets you know the state of your accounts, providing actionable intel in real time.
