President’s Message

With the onset of digital technology, banking has never been so easy and convenient. However, such comforts equally come with challenges and concerns, particularly in developing safety nets to ensure the integrity and soundness of banking operations.

The theme for 2024-25, Responsible Banking in the Digital Age, serves as a reminder that the ease of doing banking should not compromise bank operations and the welfare of depositors. It also provides an opportunity for key stakeholders, regulators and the banking industry, to discuss policies and standards in the retooling of systems and engage in conversation on how they can safely navigate the public towards digital banking.

Responsible Banking serves as a call for action on how regulators, banks, and the public, working hand-in-hand, can bring forth an efficient and safe banking operations. It is only then can everyone truly embrace digital banking.

Let us all remember that for Responsible Banking to succeed, it should be a responsibility of all.

Mabuhay and more power to BAIPHIL !!!
