The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), through its brokerage subsidiary BPI Securities Corporation, on Wednesday unveiled the new BPI Trade, a revamped web-based stock trading platform aimed at making equity investment more accessible to Filipinos.
Slated for launch on 28 May this year, the platform offers real-time market data, expert insights, and powerful trading tools, alongside a fully digital account opening process. This initiative responds to rising demand among tech-savvy and younger demographics for convenient and secure investing platforms.
“The new BPI Trade offers a superior trading experience, empowering both new and seasoned investors to seize market opportunities,” said Mark Race, president of BPI Securities. “Our goal is to make stock investing more approachable, informative, and convenient for all Filipinos.”
The platform’s commercial significance lies in its no-minimum-investment policy and digitized onboarding process—strategic moves that align with BPI’s broader push toward digitalization and financial inclusion. Initially available to current BPI clients and select users, access will expand in the coming months, with mobile app integration in development.
By enhancing ease of entry into the stock market, BPI Trade supports the bank’s long-term goal of cultivating a culture of investing among Filipinos, reinforcing its position in the increasingly competitive digital finance ecosystem.
