Reginaldo Anthony B. Cariaso, RCBC President and CEO, stated, “This accomplishment is a testament to RCBC’s commitment to be a digitally driven and customer-obsessed bank. We will continue to provide cutting edge banking solutions, keeping CX at the heart of our strategy”.

RCBC’s digital initiatives include RCBC Pulz, a digital banking app that allows account opening using an international mobile number.

This app has expanded its reach through partnerships with the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) and the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO), extending digital financial services to Overseas Filipino Workers and immigrants. RCBC claims Pulz features the most AI-enabled functionalities in the country.

Another initiative is DiskarTech, a multilingual financial inclusion app designed for underserved and unbanked Filipinos, including micro and small entrepreneurs.

It offers access to microloans, savings, insurance, and telemedicine services. DiskarTech partners with government agencies such as the Social Security System (SSS), the Department of Education (DepEd), and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) to expand its services.

The app is available in Taglish and Cebuano to ensure language accessibility.
