The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has launched its new Debit Mastercard made from 100% recycled, PVC-free plastic, reinforcing the bank\u2019s push for more sustainable banking solutions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new Debit Mastercard is free for clients who open an account through a BPI branch, as well as for existing clients whose cards are nearing expiry or due for renewal. Clients who wish to switch to the new recycled, PVC-free card outside of their renewal schedule may do so for a standard Php 200 replacement fee.<\/span><\/p>\n

BPI is among the leading issuers of debit cards in the country, with over 8.2 million debit cardholders nationwide. The launch of the new eco-friendly BPI Debit Mastercard makes another milestone in the bank\u2019s drive to offer Filipinos more responsible and future-ready financial solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cReimagining the BPI Debit Mastercard to become an eco-friendly card is a testament to BPI\u2019s commitment to its values of sustainability and innovation. At BPI, we want to connect more with our eco-conscious clients while also encouraging others to practice sustainable habits. By using sustainable materials for<\/span> our card, we hope to make sustainable behavior the default option for everyone,\u201d said Jenny Lacerna, Head of Mass Retail, BPI.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clients can request the new card through the BPI app or BPI online and selecting their preferred branch for pickup. A Php 200 fee applies to all card requests made through these digital channels. Those replacing an existing card only need to block their current one in the BPI app to start the replacement process. Cards are available for pickup at any BPI branch within two to six banking days, depending on location. Clients may also visit any branch for assistance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond sustainability, the card also features thoughtful design enhancements\u2014including a curved notch at the bottom left corner that helps users identify and orient their card by touch, improving accessibility and making it easier to distinguish from other cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the new card, BPI Debit Mastercard holders can continue to enjoy the trusted convenience and security they rely on\u2014secure payments online, in-store, and abroad; contactless transactions; easy access to cash via ATMs worldwide; and 24\/7 account control through the BPI app.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe BPI Debit Mastercard is still the same card that our clients rely on\u2014stylish, secure, and now more sustainable,\u201d added Lacerna.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through innovations like the eco-friendly Debit Mastercard, BPI continues to champion sustainability while delivering practical, inclusive, and accessible banking solutions for Filipinos.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
