Starting November 5, 2026, Globe and TM subscribers can now use the BPI app without incurring mobile data charges, removing one of the biggest barriers to digital banking for millions of Filipinos. This partnership lets users check balances, send money, pay bills, and scan QR codes anytime, anywhere—no need to spend on data just to manage their finances. As of late September this year, over 10 million people already use the BPI app, and this data-free access opens the platform up even further across Globe’s roughly 67-million strong subscriber base.
BPI President and CEO TG Limcaoco noted the initiative creates new avenues for financial inclusion, keeping Filipinos linked to opportunities that help build better futures. Globe chief Carl Cruz shared that the tie-up makes essential financial services simpler and more reassuring to use, with nationwide coverage making reliable access a reality for people across the country. In coming months, data-free use will expand to other BPI platforms including VYBE, BizLink, BizKo, and BanKo Mobile App, bringing these same benefits to more user groups.
Beyond banking access, the deal also delivers real perks for customers on both sides. BPI Gold and Preferred clients get entry to Globe Platinum lounges simply by showing their virtual privilege card, found in the app under “More” then “Card Management.” Meanwhile, Globe Platinum subscribers may use BPI Preferred Lanes at branches and enjoy special foreign exchange rates by showing their Globe Platinum status on their phone. BPI’s Consumer Banking chief Ginbee Go said the partnership brings together connectivity and convenience to place customers first and make essential financial tools truly accessible for everyone.
