Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is speeding up the digital transformation of business financing, with transactions under its Digital Supply Chain Financing Program growing more than three times in value during 2025. This sharp increase shows that more companies and suppliers across the country are choosing to use the service.
Launched in 2024, the fully digital platform lets suppliers get early payment for approved invoices before their original due dates. Corporate clients upload eligible approved invoices to the system, and suppliers choose which ones they want to get paid for. Once a request is approved, funds are sent directly to the supplier’s account the same day.
So far, the program has helped over 12 corporate clients and more than 500 suppliers from different industries, showing its growing role in supporting Philippine businesses.
“Strong supply chains are built on strong supplier relationships. Through the Digital SCF Program, we are helping businesses create a more sustainable ecosystem where suppliers—from MSMEs to large enterprises—have access to the financial support they need to grow and thrive,” said Louie Cruz, BPI Institutional Banking Head.
Giving suppliers faster access to working capital improves their cash flow and keeps operations running smoothly, helping them cover costs and take advantage of new opportunities. At the same time, corporate clients build better ties with their suppliers while creating more reliable and efficient supply chains.
BPI plans to expand the program further as more businesses sign on, aiming to give even more companies access to quick and easy financing that boosts productivity and long-term growth. The initiative also supports the bank’s wider goals of driving business progress, sustainability, and financial inclusion.
