The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) and the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) have signed an agreement to strengthen efforts against financial scams and online fraud affecting thousands of Filipinos and businesses nationwide.
Under the partnership, both sides will work together to detect scams faster, improve responses to fraud cases, and strengthen consumer education. Police officers will receive specialized training and share information with BPI, helping them better investigate cybercrime cases and assist victims more quickly.
A major part of the effort is the BPI CyberAcademy, which provides training and practical tools to help law enforcement keep up with increasingly complex digital scams. Through this program, 146 investigators and prosecutors were trained in 2025, with 150 more officers set to be trained this year.
BPI said the partnership reflects its commitment to protecting customers beyond banking, while supporting government efforts to improve national cybersecurity. The agreement formalizes long-term cooperation between the bank and the police, aiming to make the digital financial system safer and more secure for Filipinos.
