Did you know that 53 million Filipinos have no bank accounts? That is a staggering 69% percent of the country’s population from BSP’s Q3 2021 study. The problem? Access.

To encourage more Filipinos to go into formal banking, GCash, the country’s leading e-wallet, recently partnered with the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) to reach unbanked Filipinos, particularly working millennials.

A person’s healing does not stop after being discharged from hospitalization. As a rule of thumb, it takes one week to recover for each day you spend in the hospital.
